Mahogany Body With Ash Top for a Balanced and Powerful Tone

The mahogany body provides a warm, resonant foundation with a focused low end, while the ash top adds a touch of brightness and snap to the attack. This combination creates a versatile tonal platform that's equally suited for crushing riffs, searing leads, and articulate clean tones.

Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature Pickup for Aggressive Versatility

This pickup delivers a powerful and articulate tone with a tight low end, punchy mids and a clear, focused high end. The 3-way toggle switch allows you to access a variety of tonal options, while the push-pull volume control provides access to two distinct voicings within the pickup, expanding the guitar's sonic versatility even further. 

Roasted Maple Neck and Macassar Ebony Fingerboard for Effortless Playability

The MT-I features a three-piece roasted maple neck that's been treated to enhance its stability and resonance. The roasted maple neck provides a smooth and comfortable playing experience, allowing for effortless transitions across the fretboard. The Macassar ebony fingerboard is known for its durability and smooth feel, making it ideal for fast playing and aggressive techniques. The compound radius fretboard ensures comfortable chording in the lower registers and effortless bending in the higher registers, while the 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets provide exceptional durability and a smooth playing surface.
