Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around an HSS Alnico 5 pickup set, the gloss-black ML1 X gives you a five-way selector plus master volume and tone controls for shaping its voice. The mahogany body carries a gloss ash veneer top, while the maple neck has a satin finish and the Macassar ebony fingerboard has rolled edges. Contoured body carves round out a right-handed, six-string electric guitar with a Chapman two-point tremolo and 22 jumbo nickel frets.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players moving between pickup selections with the five-way switch while retaining master volume and tone control.
