collapse expand iconDescription

The Mitchell MM100 Mini double-cutaway electric guitar packs professional-grade performance into a compact, lightweight package. Mitchell Guitars, a brand renowned for crafting high-quality, accessible instruments, designed the MM100 specifically for guitarists with smaller frames or those simply seeking enhanced comfort. Despite its diminutive size, the MM100 produces an impressively robust tone courtesy of dual high-output humbucker pickups and a solid basswood body. The fast-playing maple neck facilitates fluid fingering up and down the 24-fret ebony-bound fingerboard. With its double-cutaway body for easy upper fret access, the MM100 empowers players to execute solos and complex chords with minimal effort. The MM100 Mini makes an excellent first electric guitar or a stylish travel companion for more experienced musicians.

Powerful Pickups Provide Dynamic Tonal Range

The MM100 derives its bold voice from a pair of high-output humbucking pickups that deliver a wide spectrum of tones from warm and articulate to aggressive and crunchy. Roll back the volume or tone knobs to attenuate the pickups' output for cleaner sounds perfect for jazz, blues and classic rock. Dial the knobs to their max settings and unleash raunchy overdriven tones ideal for hard rock, metal and grunge.

Slim, Ergonomic Neck Profile For Comfort and Playability

The MM100's slim maple neck and 13.75"" radius fretboard allow for a comfortably low action and silky playability. The neck's thin yet sturdy profile, combined with 24 medium jumbo frets, facilitates rapid runs, bends and complex chords with minimal hand fatigue.

Double-Cutaway Body Provides Access to Higher Frets

The MM100's stylish double-cutaway basswood body affords players unimpeded access to all 24 frets. Shred guitarists and lead players, in particular, will appreciate the MM100's upper-fret reach, which empowers them to execute advanced techniques and solos that extend well beyond the 12th fret.

Premium Components and Construction

From its precision-machined tuners to its adjustable truss rod, every component on the MM100 is engineered to professional standards. Mitchell Guitars constructed the MM100 using time-tested methods and high-quality materials to ensure stability, playability and enduring tone.

Doesn't come as advertised

For the most part; this a pretty nice beginner's guitar. It has nice features that aren't usually found on cheaper guitars. I was very impressed with the body contours, pickup arrangement, sealed tuners, & string through body. I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my son. I paid a little extra for expedited shipping & it arrived less than 48hrs after I ordered it! Everything was great until I tuned up the guitar & found that the claims that "every guitar receives a stateside set up" are entirely false. The ends of the fret wire are extremely sharp; there's no way that I'd let a child attempt to play this without first filing down/ dressing the frets to avoid gouging your hands. It seems to stay in tune fairly well; which is rather surprising as the neck is NOT properly bolted to the guitar body. There is a relatively large gap between the neck & body- large enough to see daylight! The gap is likely due to common machine assembly w/ poor quality control. I'm somewhat excited to see how well this guitar will play after I disassemble the neck, drill the body holes 1/16" larger, file the frets, & reassemble w/ some higher quality strings. Even with the additional work that's necessary; it's still a rather nice guitar & definitely cheaper than a project guitar. Last time I checked; it was around $20 or so to have a guitar set up by a Luthier- so it still works out to be a decent buy if you bought it & paid to have it set up. I'm just rather disappointed that the only problem with the entire transaction is a very simple issue that could be avoided w/ a couple tweaks of the CNC machines spitting these out by the 100's…

    I bought it for my girlfriend for Christmas, but intended to buy the Mitchell MD200, they didn't have it available when I needed it so I bought this one. It's good for travel, but doesn't really have versatility. It doesn't sound too great clean, only distorted. It's good for the price i suppose

    when i got the guitar it was already and stayed tuned and the only guitar i have that still have stock strings cause if how good they are the guitar itself is amazing not heavy and small for me a perfect sweet spot and the pickups are just what i needed to play the music and want and jam with.

    I was looking for a new heavy metal guitar that had humbuckers instead of P90s. I tried this one out and I was very impressed with the sound. It also has all 24 frets which opens up more possibilities. It's also set up well and has nice low action without fretting out. The only reason I take off one star is because without all the strings on it and tightened up, the saddle falls off. but as long as there's strings on it, it's not much of a problem. I recommend this for beginners starting out or for experienced players looking for a cheap travel option.

    Some guitars have labeled dials on the bottom of the guitar, and I've seen them labeled either "volume" or "tone". This one has dials, but they aren't labeled. Is there a rule of thumb I can use to remember which dial controls what?
