Made-to-order in a small workshop within the Greater Austin Area of Texas, the Modugno X3-S Pro: Lumen edition is a premium electric guitar that is made with a luminescent glow-in-the-dark epoxy resin design and inlay dots. The epoxy resin design is located on the front of the guitar's body, and you have the option to have it illuminated with black light LEDs all with the push of a button. When the LEDs are off and the guitar is exposed to external lights, the epoxy resin design appears all white with subtle shimmers of pearl. In the dark, the X3-S Pro: Lumen completely transforms into something surprisingly new with its luminous glow. This guitar also includes a brilliant pearl white paintjob that gives off a subtle shimmer effect in the light. The name and many design elements of this guitar originated from Modugno Guitar's 9th limited edition guitar, LE9 "Lumen". The X3-S Pro: Lumen can deliver professional sounding music whether it's screaming solos, soothing melodies, classic jams, bluesy licks, catchy pop riffs, funky grooves, or heavy shredding. A Modugno guitar can do it all, so you can feel confident that this guitar can play your favorite music.
The LED lights and Fishman Fluence pickups installed into the Modugno X3-S Pro: Lumen 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: Lumen is installed with premium parts including 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: Lumen 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. 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.
If all that wasn't already enough, the Modugno X3-S Pro: Lumen sports a carbon fiber pickguard and has a kona stained exposed wood design from the exotic okoume tree that grows natively across the world on the west coast of central Africa, and a matching kona stained maple neck with mother of pearl inlay dots inlayed into an ebonol fretboard made with modern and durable materials. Unlike a wooden fretboard, the ebonol fretboard requires absolutely no oiling maintenance whatsoever, it won't crack or warp from exposure to temperature and humidity fluctuations, it helps prevent the frets from moving around, and it is superior at helping keep the neck straight.
This guitar is a professional instrument, and even if you don't play guitar, it can even just be used as a beautiful art piece or collector's item. The Modugno X3-S Pro: Lumen is an outstanding electric guitar with a visually striking design that is truly one-of-a-kind.
For every guitar that is crafted here, Modugno Guitars will donate $50 of the proceeds, and you can choose the donation foundation or fund raiser.
