Bold design

The Mariposa’s bold-yet-ergonomic okoume body reaches toward the heavens like a butterfly in flight. It’s beautifully coordinated by a laser-etched floral pickguard and a full set of matching hardware: pickup covers, bridge, tuners, and trem.

Flawless playability

A 22-fret, C-profile roasted maple neck and 10"-radius ebony fingerboard give the Mariposa the versatility to supply riffers and pedal lovers with endless inspiration. The back of the Mariposa’s neck has been hand rubbed with gunstock oil and wax for a flawlessly smooth, satiny finish. Stainless steel high profile/medium width frets give the Ernie Ball Music Man Mariposa durability and great looks for life.

Daring tone

Two Music Man humbucking pickups, custom-wound to Rodríguez-López’s specifications, enrich the Mariposa’s okoume/maple tonewood cocktail with a delicious full-range character and a healthy dose of output. Streamlined controls — two master volumes and a 3-way toggle — make it quick and easy to find your amp’s and pedals’ sweet spots.

Effortless setup

The Ernie Ball Music Man Mariposa sports an innovative truss rod adjustment wheel below the neck joint that’s easy to access and operate. Turn the wheel a bit at a time until your neck feels just right, and your Mariposa will be ready to rock. A Music Man Modern Tremolo bridge system and matching Schaller M6-IND locking tuners make finalizing your setup a breeze.
