Queensrÿche Sound and Style at an Intermediate Price
Longtime ESP artist Michael Wilton ("The Whip" to Queensrÿche fans) partnered with LTD to bring the look, sound, and build of his signature guitar to a value-packed intermediate model — one with way more crossover appeal. The LTD MW-TR1 features the Queensrÿche Tri-Ryche motif of Michael's previous signature gunslinger as a single graphic on a solid black sculpted alder body and as a series of graduated fingerboard inlays. The result is a spectacular tribute to one of rock and metal's most celebrated axemen of all time. Wilton's signature style and taste extend to the choice Duncan humbuckers, double-locking Floyd Rose Special tremolo system, and fast-action, satin-backed Thin "U" maple neck with comfortable 13.78" fingerboard radius that come stock on this value-packed rocker. Best of all, the LTD MW-TR1 is priced so that Queensrÿche fans of all ages and levels can get a taste of Michael's signature style and flair.
Michael Wilton's undeniable influence
Stem to stern, Wilton and Queensrÿche's calling cards can be seen all over the LTD MW-TR1 signature guitar. Its familiar alder body is perfectly formed for long hours onstage. Most striking are the Tri-Ryche visuals, which can be seen as a single graphic on the gloss black lower bout and as a series of graduated inlays (terminating to Diamonds), on the comfortably radiused maple fingerboard. A "Michael Wilton" script headstock signature rounds out the MW-TR1's tasty visuals.
Top-notch hardware and electronics
In true ESP/LTD fashion, the Michael Wilton MW-TR1 comes loaded with hardware and electronics you'd normally find on high-end custom instruments. Redlining your amp are a Seymour Duncan Distortion bridge humbucker — fabled for its power, cut, and heat — and a PAF-style Duncan '59 in neck position for creating clear-and-punchy rhythmic tones. And then there's the Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo, which, paired with the Grover tuners up top, readies this guitar for primetime, performing onstage or tracking in the studio.
