Over the last few years, MOOER has been a standout innovator in the world of guitar gear, focusing heavily on developing its intelligent guitar series. However, this year, the brand’s MSC1+ Pro range was released, and it took a backstep to focus on designing classic electric guitars at its cutting-edge GGW (GTRS Guitar Works) factory. Now, MOOER is taking this a step further, kicking off its new Light series with the MLT10.

The MLT10 is an Offset body style guitar that has been meticulously crafted to suit beginners and experienced guitarists on a budget. In particular, it stands out among MOOER’s brand for its focus on being lightweight and stylish, while still meeting the exceptional craftsmanship standards of its past creations.

Similarly to several guitars from the MSC1+ Pro range, the MLT10 features a roasted maple neck and satin finish, ensuring that the guitar’s playability is as smooth as possible. While it sticks to MOOER’s usual standard C-shaped neck, the design has been customized slightly to include a 24-inch scale length, which is 1.5” shorter than the MSC1+ Pro series, enhancing the playability and fret comfort for newer players. Furthermore, GGW has chosen rosewood for the fingerboard for softer fingering while lining it with white shell dot inlays and 20 nickel silver frets, overall putting more emphasis on accessible chord playing, while still providing plenty of room for lead guitar runs.

Another similarity between the MLT10 and the MSC1+ Pro series is the guitar’s poplar body and gloss finish, resulting in a lightweight design but without compromising when it comes to resonance. However, the overall tonal properties are slightly different, primarily due to the adjustment of pickups, this time powered by an MS-1N single-coil in the neck position, an MS-1M single-coil in the middle, and the MS-1B humbucker in the bridge. As always, the guitar features a five-way pickup selector switch and a tone control dial, enabling players to explore a range of tones suitable for various musical styles.

Despite being purely cosmetic, one of the most notable features of the MLT10 is the vibrant palette that it comes in, with all of the glossy finishes being in pastel colors of Candy Blue, Candy Pink, and Candy Yellow. Ultimately, these striking colors make the MLT10 a statement piece for performers who want to bring a more light-hearted aesthetic to their band or solo performances.

When it comes to the MLT10’s structure, the guitar is manufactured with classic bolt-on construction and dual-action steel truss rod, keeping things affordable but tonally consistent. Uniquely, MOOER S-1 tuners and a TS-1 bridge are also fitted, further ensuring stable tuning and precise intonation while keeping things simple. Of course, a chrome strap pin and volume control dial is also fitted to the guitar, guaranteeing that dynamic performances are always on the cards for MLT10 users.

Overall, MOOER is going for a more lightweight, beginner-friendly, and affordable approach with the MLT10, a trend that the MOOER Light series is expected to follow. Despite this, it’s surprising to see certain features such as a roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard on such an affordable guitar, reminding us of the cost-to-value balance that MOOER’s GGW factory is aiming to achieve. It’s clear that MOOER still doesn’t plan to shy away from its futuristic electric guitars anytime soon, but even still, the company is clearly making an effort to offer something for guitarists looking for a more classic playing experience.
