Michael’s first signature guitar called the “MAB 1 Armorflame” features an ultra slim, super fast, 24 fret neck, an Ebony fingerboard, EMG pick-ups and a “top of the line” Floyd Rose tremolo. Michael also kept the inlays BIG! When asked about this MAB responded, “I close my eyes a lot when I perform but when I look at the neck I want the inlays to be functional and useful.” This guitar is not just an instrument, it’s a weapon!

There is a reason that Michael Angelo Batio was nicknamed Hands Without Shadows® in China and named the number one Shredder of all time - the man plays extremely fast. With this speed, Michael knows that clarity and attack are extremely important and he relys on his neck pickup for many of his beautiful round tones. Michael Angelo Batio is touring the world with the HWS pickups in his double guitar and relies on these pickups to produce those buttery tones when he is not busy melting his pick with his full out shred. Try out the Batio HWS humbucking in your axe today. Please note: neck position pick ups are spaced the same for all bridges. Locking tremolos, non locking tremolos and “fixed”, standard ones. The MAB pick up will work perfectly with any bridge configuration.
