With a 5-way selector switch, you can blend these pickups seamlessly to craft your ideal sound.

Smooth playability and precision

Designed for speed and accuracy, the MT-130 features 24 extra-jumbo (XJ) frets on an engineered hardwood fingerboard, allowing for effortless note bending and fluid movement across the fretboard. The 350mm radius ensures a comfortable playing experience, striking the perfect balance between fast lead runs and solid chord work. Combined with a 25.5” scale length, this setup offers excellent note definition and sustain, making it a reliable choice for technical players and shredders alike.

Expressive tremolo bridge

If you love adding dynamic expression to your playing, the MT-130 is equipped with a responsive tremolo bridge. Subtle vibrato, deep dive bombs, and rapid flutter effects are all within reach, enhancing the guitar’s sonic versatility. Chrome hardware adds a sleek visual touch, complementing the guitar’s striking orange finish. With LTD tuners and a moulded nut, this guitar ensures solid tuning stability even when putting the tremolo system to the test.
