Mitchell Guitars Offers a Pair of New Models

The MD150SB double-cutaway solidbody electric and the O120CEMB orchestra-sized acoustic-electric are now available.

Mitchell O120CEMB

Thousand Oaks, CA (December 5, 2018) -- Mitchell is proud to announce two new additions to its lineup of affordable high-quality guitars: the MD150SB double-cutaway solid-body electric, which sports a classic Sunburst finish, and the O120CEMB orchestra-sized acoustic-electric, with a high-gloss Metal Black finish. Whatever a player's musical style, either instrument offers outstanding tone, generous features, and premium materials.

The Mitchell MD150SB is a highly versatile electric for beginning a rock 'n' roll journey. Its Sunburst finish evokes the look of classic rock supergroups, and the double-cutaway form factor gives the player easy access to higher frets for advanced solo work. A one-piece maple neck is finished with a durable, jatoba cherry fretboard. The flatter overall neck radius makes the MD150SB easy to play. The adjustable TOM-style bridge is the industry standard for stable intonation, while the string-through-body design offers extended sustain.

The MD150SB's dual-pickup configuration employs high-gain ceramic humbuckers, a three-position pickup switch, a volume control for each pickup, and a tone control. This allows the player to achieve a variety of tones suitable for rock, metal, blues, jazz, and many other styles. High-ratio tuners ensure precise tuning control, and black nickel machine heads and other hardware complement the Sunburst finish beautifully.

Packing a surprisingly big acoustic sound, the Mitchell O120CEMB is ideal for musicians who have found larger acoustic-electric guitars uncomfortable to play, as well as for those who simply want to expand their sonic palette. With a select spruce top, rosewood bridge, and mahogany neck, sides, and back, the orchestra-style size acoustic-electric is remarkably loud, even when played without amplification. Sealed die-cast tuners ensure tuning stability.

The O120CEMB's onboard preamp features top-grade electronics including a three-band EQ and phase switch for tailoring the amplified tone to the room or gig. The electronics section also features a built-in digital tuner, allowing for convenient and precise tuning on the fly. Its Metal Black finish, multi-ply body binding, abalone sound-hole rosette, and beautifully bound fingerboard add up to a head-turning appearance that will make an impression even before a single note is played.

The Mitchell MD150SB and O120CEMB are available at Guitar Center and Musician's Friend for $129.99 and $149.99, respectively. Before delivery to dealers, all Mitchell electric guitars receive a complete setup and quality control inspection to ensure exceptional playability. With a variety of models that deliver high-end quality and outstanding performance for a surprisingly affordable price, there's a Mitchell electric guitar or bass for everyone.

In challenging times, sometimes elemental music, like the late Jessie Mae Hemphill’s raucous Mississippi hill country blues, is the best salve. It reminds us of what’s truly essential––musically, culturally, and emotionally. And provides a restorative and safe place, where we can open up, listen, and experience without judgement. And smile.
