The Guitar Player's Resource
When Evil Gets a Perfectly Tuned Upgrade. You think you've heard guitars in tune before? Think again. This Morgoth variant takes that original napkin-born design and equips it with True Temperament frets - the kind of intonation wizardry that makes even seasoned players question everything they thought they knew about pitch accuracy.
Here's the thing about True Temperament technology: those frets aren't straight for a reason. Each one follows a precisely calculated curve that compensates for the mathematical impossibility of perfect intonation across all twelve chromatic pitches. While most guitarists spend decades learning to bend notes slightly sharp or flat to sound "in tune," this Morgoth eliminates that guesswork entirely.
But let's talk about the sonic foundation supporting all that tuning perfection. That alder body paired with flamed maple neck creates a completely different tonal personality from typical mahogany configurations. Alder's balanced frequency response - not too bright, not too dark - provides the perfect canvas for those GNG HSH CC AV pickups to paint their sonic landscapes. Meanwhile, that flamed maple neck adds snap and articulation that cuts through any mix with surgical precision.
The Custom Nebula Gloss finish transforms this already distinctive Morgoth shape into something that looks like it was forged in the cosmic fires of creation itself. Those carefully studied ergonomic proportions that started on Giulio Negrini's 2002 napkin remain unchanged - the lower horn still cradles perfectly against your body, while that deep upper cutaway grants unfettered access to all the high-register real estate your leads demand.
Sperzel tuners and Hipshot bridge hardware keep everything mechanically bulletproof, because when you're channeling the primordial source of evil in Middle Earth, gear failure simply isn't an option.
Sometimes perfection requires a little mathematical darkness.
