Martin Miller has garnered a reputation as an impressive guitarist and educator by leading Ibanez clinics and workshops around the globe! The Ibanez Martin Miller Signature MMN1 is a versatile solidbody electric guitar that supports his wide-ranging style and technical prowess. This guitar’s mahogany body delivers workhorse tone rounded out with detailed contouring to ensure playing comfort. A flame maple top adds refinement to mahogany’s sound with additional sparkling articulation and captivating wood grain looks; a roasted maple neck and compound-radius rosewood fingerboard fuel fretting comfort at either end of the neck, ensuring a flexible range capable of quick genre hops and switches from rhythm to lead. Omnivorous players will love the MMN1’s impressive Seymour Duncan Fortuna pickups. This HSS configuration is extra versatile thanks to a powerful dyna-MIX9 switching system that adds four more voice options to traditional five-way switching for nine total pickup voices that range from bridge humbucker heat to the beefy medium-rare sound of single-coils wired in series. Factor in a resonant brass T1702B tremolo system from Gotoh, and the MMN1 is set to provide good times and reliable playing for years to come!

S-Tech roasted maple neck offers stability and durability





The MMN1’s roasted maple neck was subjected to Ibanez’s S-Tech nitrogen-heating treatment, which increases its stability, durability, water resistance, and tolerance to temperature changes. The neck is then sealed with oil, resulting in a well-played feel. And it’s supremely comfortable ? its fingerboard edge was finished with a smooth curve that extends through the border between the fingerboard and the neck to the fingerboard itself. Beyond that, this guitar’s oil-finished AZ oval “C”-shaped neck fills your hand nicely at the lower frets while providing a more modern feel when you’re playing up high. The MMN1 also includes Gotoh tuners and a bone nut for maximum resonance and superior tuning stability.

Fortunately, they’re Fortunas ? encounter endless tonal variety!





The Ibanez MMN1’s Seymour Duncan Fortuna pickups are among the most sonically flexible we’ve heard here at Sweetwater. Laid out in an HSS configuration, these pickups deliver warm blues licks, shred-heavy metal riffs, and everything in between with the utmost in dynamics and clarity ? even in high-gain situations. Beyond that, Ibanez’s dyna-MIX9 switching system provides serious tonal range with nine total sound combinations spanning humbucker and single-coil modes. You can simulate a humbucking sound by combining two single-coil pickups in series, split one humbucker coil, then pair it with a single-coil, and much more! Whatever tone you hear in your head, the MMN1 can achieve it.





Gotoh T1702B tremolo provides excellent tuning stability





Developed in collaboration with Gotoh, the MMN1’s T1702B tremolo features brass saddles and a brass sustain block, which ensure a natural, warm tone with quick response and amazing articulation. String skipping and hybrid picking are effortless thanks to narrow string spacing. Loading the guitar’s tremolo arm is a breeze by virtue of the T1702 B’s snap-and-hold socket, and its arm torque adjuster allows for fine adjustments without any tools. The T1702 B’s stud lock screws lock the stud bolts in place, enhancing the instrument’s resonance and providing excellent tuning stability. Beyond that, the T1702 B’s non-recessed design provides an astoundingly smooth tremolo motion that’s ideal for neo-soul-type players.
