Ibanez MTM1-Black Mick Thomson Signature

Ibanez MTM1BK Mick Thomson signature model

The five-piece maple/walnut neck runs through the entire mahogany body, and has been reinforced with KTS titanium. This helps create the focused lows that are so important to Slipknot’s genre. The neck-through construction also has a few other advantages over a traditional bolted-on neck. For instance, due to the absence of a heel it’s much easier to reach the highest frets, and this construction also allows for enhanced sustain and a more defined, richer tone. Additionally, the active Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups add further definition to the guitar’s lows. Just like the MTM20, the MTM1’s 24-fret rosewood fretboard features Thomson’s typical ‘seven’ inlay. Finally, the fixed FX Edge III bridge is based on Ibanez’s patented Low-Pro and Edge III Tremolo systems.
