Made-to-order in a small workshop within the Greater Austin Area of Texas, the Modugno X2 is a great starter guitar made with a straightforward design by only having 1 excellent pickup and 1 volume control, which allows the player to just plug in and go without having to hassle with a ton of controls. With this guitar, we cut costs as much as we feasibly could to provide a more budget-friendly electric guitar option.
The X2 Apprentice has great modern aesthetics with the LED pickup display, dual rail pickup, chrome hardware, and black pickguard.
The fretboard on the guitar's thick maple neck is made from a modern ebonol material that is crack and warp resistance and allows the player to never have to worry about any oiling maintenance. It also won't crack or warp from exposure to frequent temperature and humidity fluctuations and is superior at helping keep the guitar's neck straight.
The vibrant LED display in the guitar's pickup is optional. The LEDs can last an impressive 30 hours on a single charge and can be conveniently recharged with the charging mount located on the back of the guitar, so no need to hassle with switching out any batteries. The lithium-ion battery installed into the X2 Apprentice is made with cobalt that isn't sourced from the cobalt mines that violate human rights in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Dual Hot Rail Pickup installed in the X2 Apprentice has a great high end sound response and a modern appearance. The pickup is essentially a humbucker the size of a single coil pickup, so it doesn't have any humming noises that come along with what you would normally hear from a true single coil pickup. Another great feature is that the magnetized metal rails built into the pickup allow for a more consistent tone and volume output (compared to traditional pole pieces) whenever bending notes on the strings.
With this guitar, you have the choice of putting the pickup either in the middle or bridge position. Each postion has their own unique advantages.
- Middle Position Tone: More bass; "boomy" distortion tones, "smooth/dark" clean tones
- Bridge Position Tone: More treble; "clear" distortion tones, "sharp/bright" clean tones
The guitar strings on the X2 Apprentice are strung using a luthier's knot stringing technique that locks the strings into place. This honestly gives the guitar a tuning stability that's close, if not identical, to what you would get out of a set of locking tuners.
The X2 Apprentice is ideal for an entry-level guitarist that's looking for a reliable electric guitar that is truly one-of-a-kind.
