The EastCoast MS1 is a fantastic entry-level electric guitar that combines a comfortable setup with powerful, full-throttle humbucking tones and classic styling inspired by the short-scale offset electric guitar designs of the ‘60s. With its slightly shorter 24” scale length, the MS1 is perfect for players who still require a full-sized instrument, however struggle a bit with the overall length. Plug it in, choose your pickup, and get playing straight away, whether it’s rock riffs, grunge or even pop classics!

  • Excellent Tuning Stability – The MS1 keeps your strings in tune thanks to its solid die-cast tuners and a hardtail bridge – so you can rock out for as long as you want.

Construction

The MS1 features a solid offset body for a deep, resonant tone without being too heavy. A Maple neck with a 12″ radius fingerboard feels incredibly comfortable and gives a retro look & hitting tone that outweighs its affordable price point.

Electronics

The MS1 is loaded with EC Humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions for a wide range of iconic electric guitar tones covering everything from classic rock and blues to more contemporary modern sounds. With controls for volume and tone, and a 3-way selector switch, you can go from smooth and mellow to bright and punchy with ease!

With traditional appointments from every angle, the MS1 looks every bit as good as it sounds. Featuring a fully adjustable six-saddle hardtail bridge and sealed, die-cast tuners, the MS1 delivers excellent tuning stability and intonation.

More info about this Product

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
