“I’m massively excited to announce my own signature MD11 set. Designed to take the punishment of tight and focused playing, these strings are perfect for big, detuned riffs & soaring leads, as well as anything else you can throw at them. It’s an honour to be globally endorsed by Rotosound, the original British string manufacturer.”

Mikey lines up alongside Michael Amott (Arch Enemy / Carcass guitarist) , Paul Allender (Cradle of Filth) who also have their own Signature strings. These strings will be launched globally as of this month.

Michael, Paul and Mikey join an elite group of Rotosound endorsees, including Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris and the legendary Billy Sheehan, in having their own set of signature strings produced. Designed for their superb brilliance and strength these bespoke strings are a must for the discerning metal shredder. Like all Rotosound’s strings these have been produced using a highly secretive, quality manufacturing process.
