The Ultra Max carries forward the idea of an electric guitar with a compact size, close to the Ultra Swede, while gaining in fullness thanks to a mahogany body with slightly larger proportions. This 2023 version stands out with its Mistique Burst finish and meticulous construction combining a flamed maple carved top and a mahogany neck joined with a mortise and tenon joint, delivering a "high-end" feel from the very first chords.
Thanks to its neck designed for speed and its small body balance, the Ultra Max Ulmax-Mqb is especially suited for intermediate and advanced guitarists seeking comfort during long sessions. Its incisive temperament fits perfectly with styles where attack and precision matter: rock, hard rock, punchy blues, energetic pop, tight riffs, and articulate solos.
The combination of mahogany (body and neck) + flamed maple (carved top) shapes a signature that is both dense and lively. Mahogany provides substance, good note sustain, and natural sustain, while maple adds definition, attack, and controlled brightness, ideal for maintaining clarity in overdriven playing. The mortise and tenon joint enhances vibration transmission and stability, noticeable in the response under the fingers. Finally, the Custom 60 Alnico-5 pickups deliver an expressive and cutting voice, with a clear dynamic range: perfect for moving from nuanced playing to more aggressive attacks without losing articulation.
