The neck is an extra thin U shape with 24 XJ or extra jumbo frets and proved supremely easy to play with a profile that was comfortable and fast thanks to the scale and large fret size - perfect for modern, technically demanding styles! Shark tooth style inlays enhance the technical look of the instrument and the M-1000 logo inlaid at the 12th fret adds an element of class to the aesthetics. Hardware is all high spec with Grover Tuners, locking nut, Original Floyd Rose bridge and a pair of EMG 81 pickups in bridge and neck positions. A three-way switch is accompanied by volume and tone knobs with all hardware finished in black nickel, contrasting very nicely with the See-Thru Black finish on the body and matching headstock.
