Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Buttercream ML2 is a right-handed, six-string electric guitar built with a mahogany body, satin ash veneer top, satin maple neck, and Macassar ebony fingerboard with rolled edges. Two Chapman Stentorian Zerø Alnico 5 humbuckers feed separate volume controls, a push-pull master tone control, and a three-way selector. It uses a string-through hardtail bridge, has a set neck with volute, and carries 24 jumbo frets for an expanded fret count.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Working between the two humbuckers using separate volume controls, a push-pull master tone, and three-way switching.
- Players seeking a string-through hardtail bridge rather than a tremolo or vibrato bridge.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a tremolo or vibrato bridge; this model uses a fixed string-through hardtail bridge.
