Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers

The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers are a game-changer for serious players. Unlike traditional pickups that use wire coils, Fluence pickups use proprietary multi-voice technology to deliver multiple distinct tones from a single pickup - all with zero noise, hum, or interference. The bridge pickup offers crushing high-gain tones perfect for modern metal, while the neck pickup delivers smooth, articulate sounds ideal for leads and clean passages. With the push/pull voice selector, you can switch between modern active voicing and classic passive tones, giving you incredible versatility in a single instrument.

Quilted Maple Top Beauty

The quilted maple top is absolutely stunning - a three-dimensional figured wood pattern that seems to shimmer and move under light. The Black Ocean finish allows the natural wood grain to show through while adding a deep blue-black hue that transitions from ocean blue to near-black. This is a premium visual feature typically found only on high-end custom guitars, and each top is unique with its own distinctive grain pattern.

Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo

The Floyd Rose 1000 Series is the gold standard for locking tremolo systems. This professional-grade hardware allows for extreme dive bombs, flutter effects, and aggressive vibrato while maintaining perfect tuning stability. The double-locking design - nut lock at the headstock and bridge lock at the saddles - ensures your guitar stays in tune even under the most aggressive playing. Combined with locking tuners, this system provides rock-solid tuning stability that professionals demand.

Stainless Steel Frets

Stainless steel frets are a game-changer for serious players. Unlike traditional nickel frets that wear down over time, stainless steel frets maintain their shape and smoothness for decades. They provide a slick, fast playing surface that's perfect for bends and vibrato, and they never need leveling or replacement. This is a premium feature typically found only on high-end custom guitars, making the MH-1000 QM an exceptional value.

Macassar Ebony Fingerboard

The macassar ebony fingerboard is a premium appointment that adds both visual beauty and tonal character. This exotic tonewood features striking dark brown and black grain patterns that complement the Black Ocean finish beautifully. Ebony provides a smooth, fast playing surface and contributes to the guitar's bright, articulate tone while offering excellent durability and stability.

3-Piece Mahogany Neck

The 3-piece mahogany neck construction provides enhanced stability and sustain compared to single-piece necks. This design resists warping and twisting over time, ensuring your guitar maintains optimal playability for years. The thin U profile strikes the perfect balance between comfort and substance - slim enough for fast playing, yet substantial enough to provide excellent tone and sustain.

Extended Range and Playability

With 24 extra-jumbo frets, the MH-1000 QM offers extended range for reaching those high notes that 22-fret guitars can't access. The extra-jumbo fret wire makes bending effortless and provides excellent intonation across the entire fretboard. Combined with the smooth macassar ebony fingerboard and comfortable neck profile, this guitar plays as good as it looks.

Perfect For:

Whether you're a modern metal guitarist seeking crushing high-gain tones with zero noise, a versatile player wanting multiple voicings from active and passive modes, a professional demanding reliable performance with Floyd Rose tremolo, or a musician who appreciates stunning aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, this Black Ocean MH-1000 QM delivers. Its combination of Fishman Fluence pickups, quilted maple top, Floyd Rose tremolo, stainless steel frets, and premium woods makes it a professional instrument that punches far above its price point.
