Presentation
The Sterling by Music Man Mariposa, the result of a collaboration with virtuoso Omar Rodríguez-López, is a true nod to originality in guitar. With its nyatoh body in an offbeat design, it does not go unnoticed, but it is much more than an attractive glance. Under this eye-catching look, you will find a maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard that promise a smooth and pleasant playability.
The humbucking pickups on the Mariposa, each controlled by its own volume knob, offer an extended tonal range. If you like to explore different styles in your riffs, this guitar will entertain you with its many tonal options. Thanks to the 3-way pickup selector, you can easily switch from a crystal clear sound to heavier tones, ideal for bold solos or powerful riffs.
What makes the Mariposa even more fascinating is its ability to combine style and functionality. The roasted maple neck provides a secure grip, while the medium-high frets ensure increased precision for your most demanding playing sessions. As for the locking tuners, they will prevent you from accidentally going out of tune, even after your most epic solos.
All in all, the Sterling by Music Man Mariposa is an instrument that combines unique aesthetics with reliable performance. With a vintage tremolo bridge and ready-to-play 10-46 strings, it is ready to take on any challenge, from the studio to the stage, while adding a touch of flair to your playing.
