Description
The 2022 Pensa MK1 Classic Plus Aged perfectly embodies the Pensa philosophy: refined craftsmanship, top-tier materials, and sonic versatility designed for the uncompromising musician. Its chambered mahogany body—internally relieved to enhance resonance and dynamic response—is adorned with a spectacular quilted maple top and an “Aged” nitrocellulose finish that instantly gives it the allure of a well-played, vintage instrument.
The hard maple neck features a comfortable C-profile and a nitro finish, while the rosewood fretboard stands out as a highlight of this configuration. A 10″–12″ compound radius ensures a natural feel for chords in the lower positions, while offering greater freedom for string bending and modern playing styles further up the neck. Dunlop 6105 frets round out a setup that is both precise and effortless to play.
The electronics package combines two EMG SA-X Ivory pickups (neck and middle) with an EMG 89X Ivory at the bridge, delivering an expansive sonic range. The single-coil positions retain clarity, brightness, and dynamic nuance, while the bridge pickup adds body, power, and sustain—making the MK1 Classic Plus equally at home with articulate clean tones and aggressive, compressed lead sounds.
A Schaller locking bridge completes a guitar designed for exceptional stability, even under intense playing conditions. Elegant, sophisticated, and deeply musical, this Pensa combines the character of a boutique instrument with the immediate, inviting feel of a guitar built to be truly played.
