ML’80 Black, Boutique Craftsmanship, Timeless Tone

The DE ML’80 Black is a stunning example of modern Dutch guitar building, elegant, versatile, and built to perform. Crafted with a resonant alder body and a smooth maple neck with ebony fretboard, this instrument offers a perfectly balanced feel and exceptional tonal clarity.

Under the hood, a set of Lollar pickups delivers pure boutique tone: Lollar Blonds in the neck and middle provide sparkling, articulate single-coil tones, while the Lollar Imperial Low Wind (F-spaced) bridge humbucker adds warmth and refined bite. It’s the perfect combination for players who crave vintage sweetness with modern precision.

Finished in deep black with a classy tortoise pickguard, complemented by Nickel Hipshot tuners and a Gotoh 510 bridge in chrome, the ML’80 doesn’t just sound incredible, it looks the part of a true custom instrument.

Built to inspire and designed to last, this is a guitar for serious players who appreciate craftsmanship, tone, and playability in perfect harmony.
