Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Mike Schleibaum’s MSV-1 is a black, single-cutaway electric guitar with a mahogany body, maple cap, and three-piece mahogany neck-thru-body construction. Its electronics center on an active EMG JH James Hetfield bridge humbucker, controlled by a Master Volume and 3-way toggle. The 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard, Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, and Grover tuning machines make it a focused setup for aggressive metal parts, lead passages, and clean articulated sections. Gold hardware and a brushed-gold pickup cover complete its visual treatment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsal or stage parts built around aggressive metal rhythms, lead lines, and clean articulated passages.
