- The popular Music Man model in a special modification - 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: Neptune Blue, with chrome hardware. A special PDN finish, warm and transparent, to highlight the fine wood structure.
- Body: African mahogany.
- Neck: Best figured 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: Best figured maple, roasted.
- Frets: 22, low profile, wide.
- Nut: 41,3 mm.
- Headstock: Natural.
- 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. Has great sustain and bass response.
- Pickups: 1x Custom DiMarzio Transition humbucker in the bridge position & 2x DiMarzio Custom 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.
- The guitar comes with a high-quality original Music Man USA Luke hardshell case.
