Jackson - X Series Signature Marty Friedman MF-1 #2916999572
One of the most influential and respected players in the world, Marty Friedman's impactful and game-changing contributions to heavy metal and guitar in general continue to inspire generations of musicians and music fans to this day. He defined modern guitar playing with Jason Becker in Cacophony, was a key element in the wildly successful rise of thrash pioneers Megadeth, and with his "Marty-esque" improvisations and exotic fusion of Eastern and Western music, has achieved global success with his 13 solo albums.
Jackson is incredibly proud and honored to continue a longstanding relationship with Friedman by collaborating with the virtuoso on the X Series Signature Marty Friedman MF-1.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Compound-radius fretboard optimized for both comfortable chording and effortless soloing. One of the fastest, slimmest neck profiles in the guitar industry. High-output humbuckers delivering tight, articulate distortion for aggressive music. Purpose-built for speed, precision, and technical playing since 1980.
The compound-radius fretboard is your best friend for legato runs - start with .009 gauge strings to build speed, then graduate to .010s once your fingers are comfortable. The fretboard rewards both chord shapes and solo runs equally.
Jackson and Ibanez guitars are purpose-built for players whose music demands speed and precision. The slim neck and compound-radius fretboard let your fingers fly without mechanical obstacles, while the high-output pickups deliver the tight, articulate distortion that rock and metal require. A serious instrument for serious musical ambition.

Marty Friedman dual EMG® MF signature humbucking pickups deliver a sound that sings and screams. This axe is also equipped with two volume and two tone white speed controls as well as a three-way toggle switch to wrangle all of the subtle nuances out of your guitar tone, as well as a Jackson® compensated and adjustable bridge and die-cast locking tuners for increased sustain and tuning stability. Available in Gloss Black with White Bevels, the MF-1 features all-black hardware and a reverse Jackson 3x3 (3 over, 3 under) AT-1 headstock.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsWXavdfRBs
24.75" Scale Length
A 24.75" scale length offers less string tension to reach the concert pitch of a 25.5" scale, therefore loosening the feel of the guitar to make bending and vibrato more fluid.EMG® MF Signature Pickups
EMG developed a brand new passive signature set for Friedman that delivers all of the dynamic response, power, punch and clarity that only EMG can. These signature pickups feature alnico 5 magnets a brand new recipe for winding the custom made bobbins, and Friedman’s favorite brushed black chrome finish.
