In collaboration with legendary guitarist Marty Friedman, Jackson presents a strikingly unique version of the Monarkh: the Pro Series Signature MF-1 Purple Mirror. Known for his virtuosic work with Jason Becker in Cacophony and his iconic role in Megadeth, Friedman brings his personal specifications to this signature model, delivering an instrument built for precision, power, and style.
The MF-1 is built with a solid mahogany body and a set-in mahogany neck for rich, warm sustain and a balanced tonal foundation. The 24.75" scale length and 22-fret ebony fingerboard provide a smooth, responsive feel, perfect for expressive soloing and intricate bends. A show-stopping Purple Mirror top, accented by elegant abalone purfling, gives the guitar a bold visual identity with a striking depth effect that commands attention on any stage.
Tone is delivered by Marty’s own EMG MF Signature passive humbuckers, designed to complement his fast, articulate playing style. These pickups deliver tight string separation, clear note definition, and singing sustain—ideal for lightning-fast solos and soaring lead lines. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup provide flexible sound shaping.
The MF-1 is equipped with a TOM-style fixed bridge and stopbar tailpiece for excellent tuning stability and maximum resonance. Locking tuners ensure precision tuning and effortless string changes, even under intense stage conditions. The all-black hardware perfectly complements the guitar’s futuristic mirror finish for a cohesive, aggressive aesthetic.
