Woodbrass MG200

A "V" Design That Has Become a Modern Rock Reference

With its V-shaped silhouette, the MG200 fits into a tradition of guitars crafted for rock and metal, where aesthetics are as important as attitude. This immediately recognizable shape is appreciated for its clear access to the high frets and strong visual identity. Here, the approach remains straightforward and practical: a solid body construction, simple electronics, and equipment designed to focus on the essentials without distraction.

Who Is the MG200 Made For? Stage, Riffs, Serious Learning

The MG200 clearly targets beginner to intermediate guitarists who want a distinctive, stable electric guitar that's easy to handle, as well as more experienced musicians looking for a lightweight and efficient V to rehearse or tour with. Its dual humbucker setup is particularly suited to styles where density and output level are sought: rock, hard rock, punk, metal, shred, and all genres requiring tight palm-mutes and full-bodied solos.

A Strong and Clear Sonic Personality

The combination of a poplar body and a bolt-on maple neck offers an interesting balance: a sharp attack, a rather tight grain, and good definition, ideal for maintaining clarity with distortion. The Techwood fingerboard paired with the 16" radius promotes a modern feel, comfortable for shifting positions, playing fast, and bending without strain.
On the electronics side, the passive HH configuration is designed for rock versatility: the bridge pickup delivers a sharper and more precise sound for riffs, while the neck pickup provides more warmth for leads and thick rhythms. The 3-position toggle switch and 1 volume / 1 tone controls allow quick switching between tones. Finally, the Tune-O-Matic bridge contributes to sustain and tuning stability, while facilitating fine intonation adjustment thanks to the 6 individual saddles.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the best out of the MG200 from the first sessions, you can pair it with a 09-42 electric string set (same gauge as original), a standard strap for playing standing up, plectrums suited to your picking style, and a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable for a reliable connection to your amp or pedalboard.
