Axe-Static readers – you’re set for an awesome treat today! You can get an axe-clusive look of Monte Pittman‘s guitars for the MDNA Tour! As you all know, Monte has been Madonna’s guitarist since 2001 and has used a wide variety of guitars and effects to cover 25+ years of Madonna’s discography.
We’ve seen him playing with PRS, Breedlove and for the most tours Gibson guitars (having a gorgeous collection of custom Les Pauls and SGs) but this year Jarrell Guitars honored Monte by making a signature guitar for him! Loaded with an incredible selection of Seymour Duncan pickups (P-Rails, STK-S7 Vintage Hot Stack Plus and Dimebucker) the MPS (which comes in 3 models) is probably one of the most versatile guitars you’ll ever get to play.
Monte also got hooked with Bourgeois acoustic guitars, a company that makes not only amazing sounding guitars but also gorgeous looking.
Enough with the nerd talk! Time for photos!
