The Mitchell MS450 Modern is a single-cutaway electric guitar with a thin profile. It has a mahogany body with a flamed maple top. Flame maple binding and purfling trim the body. A Deep Bevel Cutaway and a unique heel joint give access to the upper frets.
The neck is a mahogany set neck with a shallow-C profile and a slim taper. It has a rosewood fretboard and jumbo frets made with high-tensile strength fretwire. High-ratio locking tuners and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL reduced-friction nut help the guitar hold its tuning.
Two high-output, paraffin-dipped alnico V humbucking pickups reduce microphonics and unwanted feedback. Each pickup has its own volume control. A pull coil-tap splits either humbucker into a single-coil sound. The adjustable TOM-style bridge and string-through body design support accurate intonation and sustain. The guitar comes with D'Addario EXL120 strings.
