The popular Music Man model, now with a slightly larger body and passive Custom DiMarzio pickups for a rich, multi-purpose sound. Created in a close co-operation with Steve Lukather.
Crafted with highest precision and attention to detail, by Ernie Ball MUSICMAN in San Louis Obispo, California.
Finish: Sparkle Burst, with chrome hardware.
Body: Alder. This wood is often preferred because of its excellent resonance characteristics.
Neck: Best birdseye maple, roasted. This special treatment by Music Man allows the performance of the neck to benefit of a thermally modified microstructure: It increases dimensional stability, resistance to temperature and humidity changes and subsequent warping, reduces density while maintaining stiffness for a lighter neck with sufficient strength, yields a microstructure similar to naturally aged woods with lower moisture content, results in more resonance and less damping, eliminates the need for hazardous chemical treatments. Vibrational testing indicates that roasted maple exhibits clearer tone with a stronger fundamental than untreated maple samples.
Scale: 25.5" (Standard).
Fretboard: Ebony, with no markers.
Frets: 22. Low profile, wide.
Nut: 41,3 mm, compensated.
Headstock: Matching the body finish.
Tuners: Schaller M-6 IND locking tuners, placed in the compact 4+2 design typical for Music Man guitars.
Bridge: Original Music Man vintage tremolo. contributes perfectly to the excellent tone of the instrument and proves itself to stay in tune very well. Has great sustain and bass response.
Pickups: 1x Custom DiMarzio humbucker (bridge) and 2x Custom DiMarzio single coils - very dynamic and absolutely quiet.
Electronics: Custom Music Man active preamp; 1x volume,1x passive tone (with push-push for gain boost), 5-way pickup switch.
Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling and sound!
The guitar comes with a high-quality original Music Man USA hardshell case and all factory accessoires.
