Description

The Mitchell MS100 Short-Scale Electric Guitar features a traditional, solid-wood, single-cutaway archtop design in a Satin finish, and a maple neck with jatoba tonewood fretboard — all in an easy-playing size. It’s the perfect first guitar for the beginner, or for the more experienced player who can appreciate its feature-rich appointments.

The slim-taper neck profile will feel instantly comfortable in any player’s hands, and the ultra-carve heel joint allows access to the upper frets with ease. A versatile pickup configuration includes two humbuckers and a 3-position pickup selector switch that cover a wide variety of rock, metal and blues.

A stud-mount adjustable bridge, back-angled headstock and through-body string loading provide solid tuning stability and outstanding resonance. And with the MS100’s sealed gear tuners, master volume and tone controls, 5-way pickup selector switch and 22 medium-jumbo frets, it’s a feature-packed, modern take on a short-scale instrument. 

Before delivery to dealers, all Mitchell electric guitars receive a complete stateside setup and quality control inspection to ensure exceptional playability. Case sold separately.

Very well made, great sound.

I love the body style and the price was right so I bought it. I've bought 9 guitars since around Thanksgiving, I've sent two back because of poor fit and finish. When I unbox a guitar I put on my headlight flashlight and with soft polishing cloth, I go over every inch and nook and cranny looking for something wrong. I'm happy to say I have 5 guitars in this price range that are flawless and absolutely beautiful. My first impression l had after opening the box was "my God this little guitar looks like a toy for a child" I was ready to box it up and send it back but first I did some YouTube research and a little more fact finding and it turns out it's not uncommon for grown adults to play this size guitar. So I took out my headlight and polishing cloth and thoroughly inspected the little guy and she turned out perfectly constructed...flawless. I hooked it up to my amp, tuned it, played some chords and checked out the pickups. In my novice opinion she sounded fantastic.I still can't get over the small size, but that's my fault for being uninformed about different sizes of guitars, so I'm returning it just like the instructions indicated(they even included a return label).I'm responsible for the cost of return shipping and me being the frugal guy that I am, if I think it costs too much to send it back I'll happily keep it because even though it's small it looks sharp and sounds awesome.

Extremely unsatisfiedwith this guitar

No idea how this guitar passed QA or its a referb. The paint is maybe 1 pass and uneven. There are 3 very noticeable scratches on the front of the guitar. And the worst part the guitar is dirty! Like there is a glaze of dirt on this thing! I would be embarrassed to give this to my son.

    Very nice looking little guitar. Humbuckers sound pretty decent also. I have not weighed it but this thing is heavy. I have full size LP copies that are lighter. Love those Mitchell headstocks.

  • WOW !!! What a GREAT little guitar!!!!

    I can not believe the quality of this guitar, right out of the box it felt and played real nice,I did a mild set up and this little thing sings.I build guitars and with this kind of quality at this price is unheard of.

    This mini guitar is really amazing. It is small enough to take in the car, and carry around. The sound is great and I really like the size, so when i have to grab it and go - it works really well. Don't get me wrong, big guitars rock, but this is nice too. I actually have 2 small guitars now.
