The M80M is a more wallet-friendly version of Meshuggah's signature model M8M.
A guitar that metal innovators and stylists Fredrik Thordendal and Mårten Hagström have used for many years now. It is a guitar that started a whole new genre of music, and started the trend of 8-string guitars in metal. What roughly distinguishes the M80M from the M8M is that the M80M has a screwed neck while the M8M has a through neck.
Neither is a standard guitar or a beginner instrument, they are extreme guitars built exactly to Meshuggah's specifications. With its 29.4" neck, strings tuned in (from high to low) D#, A#, F#, C#, G#, D#, A# and F, it is an instrument that demands mastery. But if you do, the rewards are manifold. The scale on the neck provides an incredibly firm and clear low register with stun and separation.No other standard 8 on the market even comes close.
The neck is a 5-piece maple/walnut construction with KTS titanium reinforcement. A very stable and strength-resistant construction. The neck is screwed into an ash body that is stained black so that the grain of the wood shows through. A raw and aggressive look, just as Fredrik and Mårten want it.
The bridge is an Ibanez FX Edge III-8 bridge, a fixed bridge but which can still be locked at the head so that the guitar will keep its tune no matter how hard you play.
The guitar is equipped with a Swedish-made Lundgren M8P humbucker in stall position, a mic made to maintain clarity in tone even with a lot of distortion.
