Fans of Machine Gun Kelly's early hip-hop genius may not recognize this signature instrument. Still, given his recent foray into post-punk rock, this mighty acoustic has become his personal audial weapon, featuring highly resonant, defined tonewoods and powerful electronics. The combination of a mahogany body and neck, spruce for the top, and rosewood for the fingerboard produces a standout sound with effortless playability ? everyone from front-row fanatics to sound engineers and beyond will bask in its signature MGK tone and resonance. Finally, the addition of a Fishman Sonicore piezo pickup allows for a boosted output with an intensely accurate acoustic tone ? perfect for MGK's onstage performances. At Sweetwater, guitarists are seriously impressed with this ridiculously playable acoustic-electric!





Tonewoods exude enchanting brightness and delightful resonance





Make no mistake: this tonewood concoction demonstrates just the right marriage of projection and bright tonal resonance. Its mahogany back and sides are accented with a powerful and punchy spruce top, pumping out waves of expressive projection that easily reach the nosebleeds. The mahogany neck is shaped to an effortlessly playable Thin "C" profile, similar to standard electric guitars, for easy transitioning onstage and in the studio. If your fingers are wavering while gazing at this bewitching 6-string, that's simply the smooth-as-glass rosewood fingerboard calling out with its gorgeous design and satin-like touch. When top-notch woods, impressive playability, and stellar sound meet cutting-edge aesthetics, only one outcome ensues: the Machine Gun Kelly Signature Acoustic-electric guitar.





Ultra-powerful Sonicore piezo





Schecter loaded the Machine Gun Kelly Acoustic with a Fishman Sonicore piezo pickup. Fishman electronics are a constant first choice among Sweetwater's gigging guitarists ? their ability to perfectly translate the warmth and depth of your instrument is made even better with handy volume and tone control and ability to tackle pesky onstage feedback. It's this system that allows MGK to emit overwhelming acoustic tone on the stage ? with this acoustic in hand, it's all within your grasp.
