What is The Bunker MVP Magnum Guitar?

The MVP Magnum is the Cadillac of guitars

A Bunker guitar best, The MVP Magnum is a chambered body American Made guitar. The Bunker MVP Magnum has features not available on any other instrument in its class, which place it as the top guitar in its class. Among these are the Sustanium Tension Free Neck and the set bridge, Magnum Bridge. The MVP Magnum’s extraordinary features and design are better than any other pocketed neck guitar.

Dave Bunker, President and CEO of Bunker Guitars, perfected the MPV Magnum over many years into what it is today: a perfectly balanced guitar, which features the Tension Free Neck set and pocketed within a hand crafted engineered arched-top chambered guitar body.

American made guitars, made by an American guitar manufacturing company that has the incredible level of artistry, quality, and amazing sound. Bunker has delivered this sound for generations. You can now own the finest guitar money can buy!

The MVP Magnum is the Finest Chambered Body Guitar Available

Bunker MVP Magnum Chambered Body Guitar

Within the MVP MAGNUM guitar body are internal pockets in the horns and also vicinity of the neck pickup. This fine arch top guitar is carved to uniform thickness inside and out. The neck pickup is mounted to the surface of the guitar body and microphonic type devices are used to generate a semi-acoustic guitar sound at the neck.

The MVP Magnum allows the guitarist to control the feedback as desired and allows for the bridge pickup to be direct-mounted for contact with the wood for a heavier rock, country and fusion-jazz sound and many other variations.

The MVP Features ‘Stump to Stage’ Construction, A Bunker Guitar Best!

The MVP Magnum takes full advantage of Bunker’s vast stock of fine tone woods. Each is chosen for a specific tonal variation and sound benefit. Dave Bunker has spent nearly 50 years harvesting and working with fine hardwood and tonewoods, and still hand picks every tree used in production! Bunker has coined the phrase 'Stump to Stage' to represent this extraordinary process.

The Bunker MVP-Magnum produces a demonstrably expanded range of overall sound and tone. No other company can claim that their instruments are literally crafted from the tree to your hands! At Bunker Guitars you will find only the finest quality Guitar wood.

The tonewoods used at Bunker Guitars are hand picked to produce incredible tone range in each instrument. The varying tonewoods used in each MVP Magnum compliment the pickups, electronics, and other components used in this fine instrument to produce incredible tone and sound; however, one of the greatest advances that helps the MVP Magnum to capture the natural resonant wood tones is the bridge that Bunker developed specifically for the MVP Magnum, the MVP Magnum’s: ‘Magnum Guitar Bridge’.

The Bunker Magnum Bridge: The Best Guitar Bridge For Increased Sustain and Tone

Bunker Guitars MVP Magnum Solid Bell Brass Fixed Guitar BridgeDynamic sound and sustain is a signature of the Bunker MVP-Magnum guitar. The sound of this instrument is unbelievable. A great deal of this sound is achieved with the use of the solid bell-brass machined Magnum Bridge. The Bunker Magnum Bridge is a set bridge and allows notes to be crisp, vibrant, and clear...all while increasing sustain!

The exclusive patented Bunker Magnum bridge stops the string precisely at the intonation point and drives the sound down into the body of the guitar where it can resonate and produce the perfect tones you want to hear.

Bunker accomplishes this by solidly mounting the Bunker Magnum bridge directly to the guitar body! The Bunker "MAGNUM" Bridge actually makes solid contact between the bridge and your guitar top for the greatest possible fullness and sustain!!

Other popular guitars use bridges such as the Tone Pro and commonly use small screws to hold the bridge above the guitar body. This inferior design not only does not stop string oscillation at the intonation point, but a great deal of the sound generated from the strings is lost!

The Bunker MVP with the Magnum bridge places it squarely at the top among electric guitars; however, Bunker Guitars incorporates this already great combination with the Incredible Tension Free Neck!

The Tension Free Guitar Neck combined with the meticulously carved top chambered body and Magnum Guitar Bridge elevates the MVP to a level of excellence never before heard or seen in guitars. The instant the MVP Magnum is in your hands you will both feel and hear the incredible difference this neck allows as the wood can resonate freely. The MVP Magnum is truly the top guitar in its class!

What is the Tension Free Floating Neck?

Tension Free Guitar Neck. Replacement Neck

The Tension Free Floating Neck removes nearly all tension that a standard truss rod system inflicts upon a standard guitar neck. The Tension Free neck removes the string pull and truss rod compression and allows the neck to resonate freely, which then allows the natural tone of the fine hardwoods to express themselves freely!

"WOW" I can't believe the performance and sound of my new Bunker MVP-Magnum guitar!!! It's absolutely amazing, I've always played PRS and now find it difficult to play my PRS, the Bunker just kicks ass in so many ways, I love it!! Thanks for the guitar,

- Jeremy Kain

The MVP Magnum Is the Top Guitar in its Class

goldenbursttrans

Popular Guitars such as Fender guitars, Gibson guitars, PRS guitars and others are acceptable in many ways but are too heavy, and can’t match the sustain and features of the Bunker MVP Magnum. Others are light and just don’t possess the mass needed to generate strong upper fingerboard sounds.

Most other guitars have a strong middle tone range but a narrow upper and lower range. None of them consistently produced a full, strong and balanced overall spectrum of tonal characteristics. However, the MVP Magnum utilizes the pocketed neck, The Magnum Bridge, and the Incredible Tension Free Neck to solve these shortcomings. And it takes full advantage of the tone available across the entire fingerboard and guitar body of the MVP Magnum!

"Pure quality and sound". Thanks for improving my sound!. I thought you were just spouting another I'm better hype until I played the first gig. I finally really enjoyed what I was playing and my guitar cut through like a knife in butter. It was great. I can't put it down! It is truly the best guitar I've ever played, the sound is amazing!!!! Rock and Roll, thanks again,

- Dirk Johnston
