MDV602

The MDV602 is a bit of a departure from conventional tone wood combinations and is the result of some very lengthy discussions to target the construction around getting real bass and middle drive with great sustain, top end clarity and string definition.

The neck is a five piece composite of mahogany maple and walnut. Add to this an ebony fingerboard with maple binding and you have a complex and extremely stiff fabrication that can transmit every part of the tonal spectrum. The 24 frets are Dunlop 6000 on a 648mm scale length; the nut is from Graph Tech.

The body is a fairly dense swamp ash with the grain stained black before being rubbed back and finished in whale blue. The bare knuckle pickups; a ceramic Warpig at the bridge and a Cold Sweat at the neck are controlled via a five way selector, two pull push switches for phase and parallel / series switching and two vol and one tone control.

Hardware is all Schaller; wrap around bridge and locking machines. You can get a feel for what Mark (the customer) felt about it at www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk
