Music Man Mariposa in Sahara Sunset

Designed with world-renowned Mars Volta and At the Drive-In composer & guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López, the Music Man Mariposa features an offset lightweight okoume body, a roasted maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard that showcases pearlescent style block inlays.

Electronics include two custom wound EBMM humbucking pickups with separate volume control for each pickup, controlled by a 3-way pickup selector switch that allows for variable humbucking combinations when needed. The pickguard is laser etched with an ornate design to compliment the Sahara Sunset finish.
