the guitar sonds amazing but the elctronics fall apart after sometime... i would reccomend this for someone beggining but if you want a guitar your gonna use for a long time i dont reccomend this

I am just an enthusiastic at home player, and I was in the market for a new guitar. I played a bunch of different guitars, from cheap to mid range, and none really fit what I was looking for. The Mitchell I found was actually in the used section, and I was surprised when I picked it up how good it felt. After playing with for an hour, I just came to the conclusion that this was a guitar that would motivate me to play. I won't claim it is the best guitar ever. It's not. What it is (if you are not a headstock snob) is a nice guitar that punches a bit over its weight. I don't ha e a problem with the pickups. They sound just fine with my amp, and as a non gigging guitar player, I don't know that I have intense tonal concerns as they apply to an audience to begin with. I love the feel of the neck, which is subjective. But for me, the neck is about perfect. I prefer a fixed bridge, this delivers. The knobs on my particular guitar are not great. They are a little sticky and noisy. I can live with that given that the pull/push pot is fine, but it is the one thing I don't like. But I bought it knowing that was an issue so I am not complaining. I will replace the tuners. They are ok at best. The adjust well and accurately, but I am not impressed with how they maintain a tuning. Overall, a good guitar at a great price. I would recommend it without much reservation.

I got the natural finish. The good: It's a really good-looking guitar. Very light. Good sustain. Nice neck. Fret work is solid. Graph Tech nut. Locking tuners (5/6 anyway). Pickups are not so great, but ok. The bad: I had to fix the tone knob. The bridge pickup was touching the strings on one side and almost flush with the trim ring on the other. The low E locking tuner would unscrew all the way by the time it gave the string enough room to make it through the hole, then wouldn't start threading again. There was a pretty good gouge on the back edge of the lower horn, another on the back of the body, and another on the back of the neck. This guitar obviously didn't get a "stateside setup". If it did, it was done by idiots. It IS a nice-playing guitar, though and I've fixed all of the issues (can't really feel the gouge on the neck, so not worried about it). I've been playing for about 30 years, and have had various guitars. This one's really pretty good (especially for the price). I considered sending it back because of the dings, but decided to keep it. All in all, the more I play it, the more I like it so . . . 4 stars.

Went to GC today looking at semi hollow body guitars and my eye suddenly caught a glimpse of the Mitchell MD400 in black, the price tag made me stop and take a look. Glad I did. The high end fearures blew me away, a set neck, locking tuners and coil tap. My other guitars are at much higher set point, so I thought this guitar must play like a starter guitar, no way! This plays great, it feels great and the tone was on par with my other guitars. I had to have it and bought it without any hesitation. When you get a new guitar that is a player it can inspire you to find new elements in your playing. That's what happened to me, I came home and played non-stop for two hours. I had the best time with this guitar. Now for some not so great aspecs. The pickup controls provide great control; volume and tone and pick up selection and finally coil tapping, I just never could figure out what does what. I can get the sound I want, more by accident than by a deliberate end result. Hopefully over time I can sort that out. Overall, great guitar that has higher end features well above this price point. GC has it right. Side note: went to acoustic guitar room and played a Mitchell 12 string, this guitar blew away. And when I focused on the price tag I couldn't believe my eyes. My point, these guitars are the real deal. Go play them and see for yourself.

Not the guitar it's hyped up to be. Still for the $$ not a bad shredder. Light weight body is smaller than most double cutaway models. The neck is fat close to an LP. Sustain is great as with most thru-body necks. Hardware is best feature. This will be my backup/alt-tuning guitar.

Ok the curiosity got the better of me one day while browsing my local GC. I am normally a super strat type player, you know the ones; Floyd roses, dual hot humbuckers, anything that shreds! I had been looking for a reasonably priced fixed bridge type guitar for experimenting with heavier string gauges, different tunings and what not. So I stumbled upon the Mitchell MD 400. The one I could not take my eyes off was the natural finish, just stunning to behold. I had been aware of the Mitchell brand guitars but my own headstock snobbery wouldn't give them the time of day. Made in China, GC's owns the brand I just didn't figure they would be any good but I was wrong!! The fit and finish of the guitar was outstanding the locking tuners felt nice, binding on the neck was beautiful the quilted maple top veneer was breath taking and the fret work was outstanding. Ill be honest, I talked myself out of purchasing it because I just didn't need another guitar at the moment, I have close to 40 of the things cluttering my guitar room. After going home I couldn't get it out my head so I did the research and found them to be made of mahogany, that's a plus, the more I researched the more I wanted it. I returned the following week to find GC's annual Guitarathon to be in full swing and the price had been reduced quite alot, so it became mine. Once I got it home and plugged it in, I was pleased with it's tone and sustain. It felt great in the hands but took me a bit to get used to it. After playing it for a week now, I love it so much I ordered another Mitchell. This time I opted for the MS 400, thier version of the Les Paul, I eagerly await it's arrival. I really like this guitar alot, been playing for 35 years and have had the pleasure of owning many high quality guitars and I would rank this up there with them. I do not consider this an entry level instrument at all. Well done GC.
