Full Description
View Full DescriptionEndless tonal options
The Mariposa is a versatile guitar that offers a broad range of tonal possibilities. It is equipped with dual humbucking pickups, which are designed to pick up a wide variety of sounds, ranging from warm and mellow to bright and punchy. The bridge pickup is known for its sharp and clear sound, perfect for cutting through a mix, while the neck pickup has warmer, rounder tones that can provide more depth and sustain. And when combined, these humbuckers offer balanced sounds that can be perfect for rhythm guitar parts or soloing.
With the volume and tone controls, you have the ability to take charge of pickup levels and output, allowing for nuanced and precise adjustments to your sound. What's more, the addition of the 3-way switch further expands the tonal palette, offering the option to activate different pickup combinations. The Mariposa's tonal options make it an excellent choice for any genre or playing style.
Sculpted for the ultimate performance
Not only does the Mariposa offer impeccable sound quality, but the playability is also one of a kind. This model boasts a unique body shape that was intricately designed in collaboration with the talented Omar Rodríguez-López. This construction allows for comfortable playability and ease of access across the fingerboard, making it a perfect option for musicians of all skill levels.
The neck's roasted maple is crafted into comfortable "C" shape with 12" radius, providing an excellent playing experience - perfect for guitarists of all levels. On top of the rosewood fingerboard are medium-high frets, making bending and sliding notes easier and providing ample room for your fingers so chords are easy to fret, and notes are easy to play. The Mariposa truly is a top choice for musicians who demand both style and performance in their guitars.
Make your solos stand out
Also equipped on the Mariposa is a classic vintage tremolo bridge, which delivers a sublime tone and distinctive visual style. This bridge is engineered to enable delicate vibrato effects and dramatic dive bombs with precise tuning and intonation. Crafted with stability and sleekness in mind, the Music Man tremolo bridge guarantees an unmatched playing experience synonymous with the brand. In addition to its exceptional sound, the tremolo bridge adds an artistic touch that makes the guitar a work of art. Whether you're seeking to create smooth, wave-like sounds or add a touch of theatricality to your playing, the vintage tremolo bridge is the ideal choice.
