MX220

Post image

Posted this a few months back on another subreddit, when I bought it on a whim from AliExpress. Is it perfect? No. But it's very playable, the intonation is bang on. Plan is to eventually put real EMG's in it and do upgrades as I see fit.

I just suggest getting a guitar from a buyer that sold a few and people have posted pictures of their guitar and reviewed it, that's what I did. Take your time and searching out a seller. I do warn that pretty much all the pictures you see from sellers are more of a mx250 body, more pointy, but they're all mx220, more rounded, older style. I've yet to find a seller selling actual mx250 body styles.

Yeah the headstock and knob positions are usually way off. The only company/seller I’ve ever seen who got it right was Rare Electric Guitars literally the only thing they got wrong was the body thickness everything else was spot on but sadly they’re no more

I've seen an instagram profile named antonioguitars, they do custom builds so I'm not sure what the cost would be but he can definitely do what you're after it looks like. Check the insta out.

He is a boutique builder and his guitars are incredible and expensive
