Whether on stage or in the studio, this guitar is sure to make a statement.

Offset Body Shape Makes a Bold Statement

The Mariposa's distinctive offset body shape is eye-catching yet ergonomic, providing a comfortable platform for hours of playing. Its nyatoh construction produces a resonant, harmonically rich tone with bell-like highs and tight lows. A sleek pickguard and matching headstock give this guitar a cohesive look, while premium hardware and appointments reinforce its boutique-quality build.

Roasted Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard

The Mariposa's roasted maple neck offers increased stability and enhanced tone. Its rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface, with 22 frets for seamless transitions across the fretboard. A slim profile shaped neck and narrow nut width make this guitar comfortable for players of all styles.

Dual Humbuckers Deliver Versatile Tone

Custom Sterling by Music Man humbuckers provide articulate tone across a range of musical genres. The bridge pickup delivers tight, focused lows and crisp highs, while the neck pickup produces warm, rounded tone perfect for chords and melodies. With 3-way switching and separate volume controls, you can blend the pickups for a variety of sounds from bright and jangly to thick and heavy.

Performance-Ready Components

Premium appointments reinforce the Mariposa's status as a gig-ready instrument. Locking tuners provide rock-solid intonation, while a vintage-style tremolo bridge allows subtle pitch bending effects. A truss rod adjustment wheel located at the base of the neck provides easy neck relief adjustments. From its fast-playing neck to high-quality electronics, the Mariposa is built to perform on stage or in the studio.
