The plain evil updated Metal X takes all the top features of our original model guitar such as its wicked shape and roaring sound, but enhances the playing experience meaning you can really rock out! The body has a superior finish, giving your guitar a deeper, sophisticated look you'd expect from a guitar made by a much more highly regarded brand.
Great playability comes from the comfortable, slender shallow contour neck, while the basswood body provides sustain and full tone whilst remaining surprisingly lightweight and comfortable. The gentle side body curve also makes sitting to play this guitar a breeze - great for long practice sessions!
The combination of one open coil and one closed high output humbucking pickup provide a full tone, and respond to the distortion you need for modern rock and metal without becoming muffled. We've taken the massive sound of our original Metal X and pushed it even further to ensure you get the sound you want as well as the look.
The guitar has truly come from the fire of Hades itself!
But don't just take our word for it, read what the critics have had to say about the Metal X "Gear4music pride themselves on the fact that their instruments are made to decent, playable standards. We'd go one further and say they've pulled off something spectacular great looking and sounding instruments that feel as if they'll keep these qualities until you're ready to upgrade" Play Music Magazine
"...those exposed coil humbuckers perk things up... they produce a surprisingly grown-up set of tones. The output is punchy and takes on distortion admirably, with a reasonably full tone that doesn't descend into mushiness as the gain increases."
"...the Metal X holds plenty of potential, bolstered by a likeable tone and the all-round fun image." Paul Salter, Guitar Buyer magazine
"Acoustically the Metal X is bright and loud with decent balance and sustain. It certainly looks the part, and plugged in it sounds the part too" Guitar and Bass magazine
