JACKSON Pro Series Signature Marty Friedman MF-1 EB PM

The Pro series of the American brand Jackson represents professional quality electric guitars designed for professional players and the general music public. In addition, instruments with typical company design, quality workmanship and great playing characteristics can still be purchased at a price that won't break your budget. Specifically, the MF-1 is a single cut (Monarkh/LP) signature model electric guitar by American guitarist Marty Friedman, known for his work in the American metal band Megadeth, the pure shredder duo Cacophony, and his solo work.

The mahogany body of the guitar is adorned with a spectacular Cracked Mirror top, supported by a Purple Mirror finish, bright body binding and imitation mother-of-pearl pickguard. The mahogany neck, reinforced with graphite bracing, is glued to an ebony fingerboard with twenty-two jumbo frets. Position blocks made of imitation mother-of-pearl facilitate orientation on the fingerboard surface.

Two passive signature Marty Friedman humbuckers with Alnico V magnets from the renowned EMG brand provide the instrument with the necessary punch, sound articulation and perfect dynamic response. Two volume potentiometers, two tone controls and a three-position pickup switch are used for sonic adjustments. Precise tuning and good sustain are ensured by the string attachment via a fully adjustable compensated bridge (TOM style) in the strings and the company's lockable Die-Cast drives.

For several decades, electric guitars from the American brand Jackson have appealed primarily to musicians from metal, metal/core, HC or djent bands who profess a loud sound with a more or less diluted dose of aggression, as evidenced by the company's list of players.
