PRESS RELEASE

Mike Mushok's Baritone Ibanez Guitar "Goes To 11"

MMM1MOL
January 21, 2003

Guitarist Mike Mushok of the Staind isn't getting just any guitar for his Ibanez signature model--his MMM1 is the first Ibanez production baritone guitar. When Mushok was asked why he wanted a baritone, he replied, "Because it goes to 11. With the baritone guitar's higher neck tension, I can tune down low and play with heavier strings and not have them feel like rubber bands. With a regular guitar, tuning down can become a real nightmare with the guitar going in and out of tune. But with my signature guitar, I can bite into it and play aggressively."

MMM1 Mike Mushok Signature Model Key Features:

  • Matte finished mahogany body and thru-neck provide gargantuan tone and sustain.
  • 28" scale baritone neck offers the ability to achieve all kinds of low tunings.
  • Massive MM bridge custom-designed for Mike Mushok allows radical intonation adjustments and augments the MMM1 great sustain.
  • Super 58 pickups custom wound for baritone.
  • Tuning machines feature low string posts for higher string tension off the nut.
