Monte Pittman Signature Guitars

Jarrell Guitars honors Madonna's guitarist with the MPS Monte Pittman Signature Series 11-Jan-12
Monte Pittman Signature Guitars


Jarrell Guitars has announced the release of its new Monte Pittman Signature Guitar – otherwise known as the MPS.

The exclusively designed guitar series, designed in collaboration with Pittman himself, will be sold in three different versions:

  • MPS-1
  • MPS-f, enhanced with a Floyd Rose
  • MPS-Classic

Jarrell Guitars tell us that the new MPS's crystal clear and exceptionally versatile sound is complemented by its strikingly beautiful design. They say that it is handcrafted out of mahogany and maple wood, and is featured in a sleek white pearl with a silver sparkle finish. Each guitar is accentuated with Seymour Duncan Custom Shop pickups, Abalone Colorful inlays along the fingerboard, and Swarovski crystal pointer control knobs.

"It's a great honor to have my own signature guitar available to the public," said Pittman. "The Jarrell MPS can handle any style of music out there. It can do everything all of your guitars can do and more."

"I knew right away with Monte that he had the electricity of greatness," said Phillip Jarrell, founder of Jarrell Guitars. "He is a true talent. He will always create a new way of melody. Great players are made of music, not fingers. Monte plays with song, and he refuses to repeat what others have done before him. He takes everything to the next step."
