Disturbing and grotesque to some, awe-inspiringly frightening to others. There is truth to both perceptions for this abomination of a guitar is apt to send shivers down some spines. Made-to-order in a small workshop within the Greater Austin Area of Texas, the Modugno X3-S Pro: Bones edition is a premium electric guitar that looks as if it were dug up from the grave. It is a magnificent haunting sight to behold. The Modugno Guitars’ trademark epoxy resin design on the front of the guitar’s body is crafted with real bones from three chickens and can be lit up with an eerie glow. The Modugno X3-S Pro: Bones is ideal for those who are not easily intimidated by haunting figures, love the Halloween season, and have a curiosity in exploring creations of horror in the arts such as movies, photography, and drawings.
The bones embedded inside the guitar are ethically sourced from Texas native, HEB.
The LED lights and Fishman Fluence pickups installed into the Modugno X3-S Pro: Bones can be conveniently recharged with the charging mount on the back of the guitar, so there's no need to hassle with switching out any batteries at all. The battery life for the LED lights lasts about 2 hours per charge, which is a great amount of time to last through a live performance. The LEDs and pickups each have their own designated battery supply, so in case you find yourself in a situation where you accidentally forget to charge the guitar before a live performance or recording session, and say the LEDs go out while you're playing, you'll have nothing to worry about as far as the sound goes because you'll still have fully functioning pickups since the battery for the pickups can last an impressive 100-160 hours per charge. The lithium-ion batteries installed in this guitar are ethically made by EBL who don't source the cobalt used in their batteries from the cobalt mines that violate human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Currently, about 70% of the world’s cobalt supply comes from that area, and unfortunately chances are high that there is unethically sourced cobalt in some devices that we are all using daily.
The Modugno X3-S Pro: Bones is installed with premium parts that are carefully given a cosmetically aged appearance with acid. They include Japanese precision-made Gotoh Magnum Trad locking tuners, and Gotoh bridge options. If you prefer a whammy bar, the Wilkinson by Gotoh VS-100N tremolo bridge includes one and allows you to adjust the height and stiffness of the whammy bar to your liking. If you prefer no whammy bar, and slightly improved tuning stability, the Gotoh GTC102 hardtail bridge is available. The use of Gotoh's professional tuners and tremolo bridge in tandem does an excellent job at maintaining tuning stability. Additionally, the Fishman Fluence active pickups installed into this guitar are all-American-made and built with revolutionary technology that incredibly packs 3 different pickup voices into each pickup. They are pretty much the Swiss Army knife of pickups. You'll be able to quickly access these tones with not just one, but two built-in push/pull potentiometer switch modifications. All-in-all you'll have a total of 9 different tones available to you. Having such a wide variety of tones gives the X3-S Pro: Bones the capabilities to easily play just about any genre of music as long as it is paired with the right guitar amplifier and sound effects of course. With this guitar, you have the option to choose from either the Fishman Fluence Classic or Modern version of the pickups. Either pickup can honestly closely replicate just about any guitar tone you’re looking for, but these options are available in case you’re looking for a very specific tone. The Modern version is best for modern guitar tones, and the Classic version is best for classic tones.
Get the best of both worlds with humbucker and single coil tones with the switch modification in the volume knob position. Pulling on it activates the voice 3 single coil mode for both the neck and bridge pickups. Pulling on the other switch modification in the tone knob position activates the voice 2 humbucker tone for both pickups. Leaving both knobs pushed in will activate the voice 1 humbucker tone for both pickups. Turn the tone knob all the way down if you’re looking for a tone that’s perfect for doom and sludge metal. With such a massive variety of tone options to choose from, you're bound to find the right sound that matches the genre you’re going for.
Even if you don't play guitar, the Modugno X3-S Pro: Bones can even just be used as an eerie art piece or collector's item. The Modugno X3-S Pro: Bones is an outstanding electric guitar with a visually striking design that is truly one-of-a-kind.
