Wenge with walnut is a superb combination for those who appreciate
superb combination for those who appreciate warmth with plenty of upper-end bite.
The Cirrus walnut back and walnut neck are the basis for the warmth.
The addition of the much harder wedge top gives a nice sizzling presence on the top end while still offering great sub-lows
One of the many benefits of the 35" scale that there endorsers appreciate is the sound improvement when doing live recording.
By lengthening the scale, the strings are tighter, having more length to vibrate. Even the smaller diameter strings come alive.
Peavey laminate a composite graphite overlay on the peg head. This is not only cosmetic, but actually keeps the peg head from resonating and also protects it from warpage due to high tension from fiveand six-string bass strings.
The main benefit is that it adds extreme stiffness to the peghead. The addition of this graphite overlay reduces energy loss and also dead spots, especially in your low E string
The exclusive VFL pickups have low distortion, high output, incredibly wide response range, and are “studio quiet.” They also exhibit extended frequency response and greatly reduced noise with increased sensitivity because of the magnetic structure.
The pickups are frequency tailored for the number of strings.

Brief history ( A true one as well )
Shortly after opening, MUG got off to a flying start. The first customer was Jimmy Page, the guitarist of Led Zeppelin. He asked for Ernie Ball electric guitar strings and Bruce answered.
-- The only thing is....eh ..--- " We ordered them a while back, but they haven't arrived yet!"
Luckily enough, Jimmy went away satisfied with his Fender Superbullets or Sound City Strings.
However, as soon as Jimmy had left the shop, Bruce got on the phone to his trade friends in England to find out more about Ernie Ball.
It didn't take long before MUG was the agent for Ernie Ball in Sweden.
This is how Bruce started his "crusade" through Sweden and how MUG got off to a flying start.
The year was 1973. It's now 2015 and Jimmy Page probably won't ever be coming back, but we at MUG see a Jimmy Page in all our customers. This is the way it's always been.
Welcome to our website and our shop as well.
