Behold! Guitar wizard and musical mastermind Omar Rodríguez-López (The Mars Volta / At the Drive-In) has teamed up with Ernie Ball Music Man to release a brand new signature guitar known as “The Mariposa.” This guitar is an absolute stone-cold FOX, and comes in four different finishes to choose from! Some of the features include a beautiful laser-etched floral pickguard, custom electronics designed for both heavy and delicate music, a unique lightweight okoume body shape, tethered tone circuit for a passive interaction between two volume pots, and Shaller M6-IND gold or chrome locking tuners.
Check out the video below for a closer look:
