Ibanez MRC10 Marcin Signature Electro-Acoustic, Natual Overview

MRC10 Marcin Patrzalek, known simply as Marcin, is a Polish acoustic guitarist, composer, and producer who started playing classical guitar at age 10. He then went on to practice flamenco under the eye of Spanish virtuoso, Carlos Piñana, and eventually developed an outstandingly energetic approach to percussive acoustic guitar. He is known primarily for combining percussive guitar playing with modern electronic production, as well as classical and flamenco techniques. Among his most known releases are his arrangements of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and 5th Symphony, Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, as well as original tracks such as the Latin-inspired Snow Monkey. Marcin's signature guitar MRC is designed for his innovative percussive fingerstyle which allows him to combine extensive percussive elements with the standard way of playing the guitar. ****Product Features**** - Nyatoh neck The Nyatoh neck provides a rich mid-low end. - Macassar Ebony fretboard Macassar Ebony produces tight lows and mid range along with strong attack in the highs and quick response with rich sustain. - Solid Sitka Spruce top Solid Sitka Spruce top provides an enormous frequency range that offers wave after wave of shimmering highs along with tight mids and a full-bodied low end. - Pau Ferro back and sides Pau Ferro back and sides offer well-balanced tone with a full-bodied mid and high range. - Fishman® Rare Earth Mic Blend Active Soundhole pickup, Tap pickup The combination of Fishman® Rare Earth Mic Blend Active Soundhole pickup and Tap pickup offers a warmer, more natural acoustic tone with clarity of sounds. - Fishman® Rare Earth Mic Blend Active Soundhole pickup preamp Its easily accessible Mic/Pickup Blend control-wheel offers just the right blend at your fingertips.

Advantage™ pins are easier to take out and easier to put in than standard pins. A special bulb-shaped end makes the pin easy to grip and also prevents the pin from being pushed in too far. Best of all, with Advantage™ the pin and string stay put. - Gig bag included It comes with Ibanez gig bag which is designed specifically to fit and protect this instrument. ****Special Features**** - X-M Bracing with a reinforcing wood plate for body tapping After spending years of trial-and-error, Ibanez realized the out-of-the-box X-M Bracing to generate the ultimate sound in order to stand out on stage. The carefully designed scalloped X-bracing, the allocation of tone braces, and finger braces transmit the string vibration efficiently through the bridge to the body. The X-M Bracing creates a clear bottom and crispy treble sound with a trimmed, warm mid-range, and also provides a wide dynamic range and high response. This guitar also features a reinforced wood plate inside the body for percussive play, especially to create a ""kick drum"" sound by hitting the body top with the heel of the palm. This plate also contributes to making the ""kick drum"" sound clearer. - AE body shape Designed for projection, balance, and comfort, the AE's perfectly crafted contemporary body shape offers the best of all worlds. - Comfort Grip w/Rounded Fingerboard Edge In order to achieve supreme playability, the neck was specially designed with Thin-C shape style comfort grip with fingerboard's rounded edge. - Scratch Pad You can create scratching and tapping sounds with this oil-finished, solid Sitka Spruce pad, adding yet another flavor to your percussive playing. ****Videos**** https://youtu.be/8eA3dCqqCNM https://youtube.com/shorts/sKjBcmumt9M?feature=share
