Carrying forward the signature colorways of the MA-3 PRO, the MA-3 PRO(S) is an upcoming variant designed to complement the original HH model. The "S" designation signifies its new HSS pickup configuration (Sound-SPC5S), complete with a coil-split feature to freely bridge vintage cleans and modern high-gain tones. Upgraded with an all-new pickguard design—Sunset Brown and Twilight Blue with Pearl White pickguards, alongside Transparent Black with Crystal Black—it delivers elevated aesthetics and style while keeping the retail price unchanged.
Expanded Single-Coil Flexibility (Sound-SPC5S HSS Pickup System): The HSS layout combines two pristine single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions with a powerful bridge humbucker, offering total versatility across sparkling cleans, bluesy glass, and thick high-gain leads.
Integrated Humbucker Coil-Split: Gives players instant access to 5 distinct tonal flavors by splitting the bridge humbucker into a true single-coil, effortlessly bridging modern rock punch with vintage single-coil clarity.
Premium Upgraded Pickguard Aesthetics: Available in two distinct styling packages—Sunset Brown and Twilight Blue featuring a high-grade Pearl White pickguard, alongside Transparent Black with a sleek Crystal Black pickguard for a sharp, modern visual edge.
Road-Ready Neck Stability (Carbonized/Roasted Maple): Thermal treatment bakes out moisture to protect the maple neck against temperature and humidity swings, eliminating neck warping and fret sprout while ensuring smooth, fast playability.
Pro Hardware & Intonation Upgrades: Equipped with a genuine real bone nut for enhanced natural sustain and a smooth 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge for reliable return-to-pitch accuracy during expressive pitch dives.
2-Octave Shredder Fingerboard: Features 24 precision frets set into a rosewood fingerboard with White Pearl Acrylic inlays, offering easy high-register access for extended solos and complex chord work.
Lightweight Ergonomics (Okoume Body): Delivers rich, mahogany-style acoustic warmth and natural resonance without heavy weight, preventing shoulder strain during long practice sessions and live performances.
