M-I DX

CHERRY BOMB
$4,299

Take one of the world’s most respected shred guitars, and then take it up a notch with Made in USA build quality and a distinctively cool finish, and you’ve got the USA M-I DX Cherry Bomb. Built with bolt-on construction at 25.5”’ scale, it offers a flat-top mahogany body paired to an extra thin U-shaped quarter-sawn three-piece maple neck with natural satin finish for the smoothest and fastest playing experience imaginable. It also has an ebony fingerboard with deluxe mother-of-pearl offset block inlays and 24 extra-jumbo Jescar stainless steel frets.

The parts and components on the USA M-I DX Cherry Bomb are second to none, and include Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners, a recessed TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design for excellent sustain and resonance, Dunlop Straplok buttons, and a bone nut. Its streamlined design provides a single direct-mount pickup in the bridge position… an innovative Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker ceramic with multiple voices selectable by a push-pull on the volume knob. Voice 1 is the ultimate high-output ceramic humbucker bridge pickup tone… crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl. Voice 2 delivers modern passive attack performance that has superbly organic distortion characteristics with outstanding dynamics and response.

The USA M-I DX Cherry Bomb includes a custom ESP USA form-fitting hardshell case, and an official Certificate of Authenticity from ESP.

FEATURES

Stainless Steel Frets

ESP USA guitars feature Jescar FW57110 stainless steel frets for the ultimate in smooth playing feel for controlled bends and vibrato, and reliable longterm durability.

Recessed Bridge

Inset into the body, the recessed TOM bridge, in combination with the string-thru-body design, provides increased playing comfort and overall resonance.

Deep Dish Jack

In addition to looking sleek, the Deep Dish jack installed on ESP USA models has the added benefit of providing the depth and angle of the cable to be easily looped around the player’s strap to better protect the cable from crimps or other damage.
