messiah

Multiscale 26"-27"

In our request for tone versatility, most of the times, we find walls separating musical genres and their request for specific features. No more. The Messiah is designed to perform extremely well within a wide range of gain requirements. Clear and articulate cleans, as well as tight and focus leads at the same time. This guitar is going to hit you hard. Active electronic advantages when needed, as well as the passive more organic approach of the BMC Messiah pickup set. Add the ability to split, and there you have it. A modern piece of art, beautiful and resonant. A guitar that you can't forget once you put your hands on.

Tunings

There are endless tunings that you could end up with using multiscale guitars. Messiah is optimized for use with 7 specific tunings. To make it easy, we provide the string gauges that you should use on each tuning, to maintaining the feel of the classic .10-.46 gauge string set, placed on a 25.5" scale guitar on Standard E tuning. It is a good and safe place to start with.
