Here for sale we have a Sterling by Music Man Mariposa Electric Guitar in Imperial White finish. Made in Indonesia, this guitar consists of a Nyatoh body, a Roasted Maple neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. This instrument is fitted with a Sterling Vintage-Style tremolo and a set of locking tuning machines. The pickups are fitted with a set of Sterling Ceramic Humbuckers that are wired to a master volume, master tone, and a three-way pickup selector.
The Roasted Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with a profile closely resembling a 'C', this neck profile and the satin finish provide a smooth and articulate playing experience up and down the neck. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant to the touch, and with its 12” radius makes bending and vibrato techniques a breeze, whilst offering a nice balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for quick lead lines. The Medium High frets enhance vibrato techniques at speed whilst also providing a rock-solid and smooth playing experience.
The Sterling Ceramic humbuckers pickups provide the player with thick, warm voicing, with a distinct top-end that is articulate and well-defined. whilst eliminating the hum created by single coil pickups. The bridge pickup provides a fat and punchy humbucker-like sound, making power chords sound gritty, whilst also providing soaring lead tones. However, with subtler amp settings the bridge offers a bright, glassy clean tone. The middle position provides bright trebles and full warm bass, and lends itself well to rhythm tones. The neck pickup offers a smooth, warm, rounded tone that handles distorted tones as well as it handles clean tones.
