EXCELLENT. The guitar has been obviously played and shows some visible surface playwear, on the body and on the rear edge of the headstock. However, overall the instrument remains in a very good condition (see pictures). Technically, there are no issues with the guitar, all parts are working excellently. The hardcase is also in a used condition but functions fine. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally cleaned and set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
- This guitar was created in close co-operation with John Petrucci (Dream Theater).
- Crafted with highest precision and attention to detail, by Ernie Ball MUSICMAN in San Louis Obispo, California.
- Finish: Gremlin Green Sparkle, with chrome hardware - a very classy looking finish, produced by Music Man for a very short time and in minimal quantities, and therefore extremely rare. The guitar literally sparkles as soon as the light hits it from any angle.
- Body: Basswood - this wood is often preferred because of its excellent resonance characteristics, especially on distorted sounds.
- Neck: Best birdseye maple - back of the neck unpainted, hand oiled and waxed for a smooth satin feel. Music Man guitars are particularly so famous among musicians, because of the outstanding quality of their necks. The neck is a pleasure to grab, feels perfect to your hand and plays just fantastic!
- Scale: 25.5" - Standard.
- Fretboard: Rosewood, with dot inlays.
- Frets: 24, medium - a perfect fretjob, another famous feature on Music Man USA guitars.
- Nut: 43 mm - Standard.
- Headstock: Matching the body finish, with John Petrucci signature.
- Tuners: Schaller M-6 IND locking tuners with pearloid knobs - placed in the compact 4+2 design typical for Music Man guitars. Often requested by professional artists, these tuners are a must-have for the demanding musician. The key to their design is eliminating wraps around the string post, which can cause string slippage and tuning problems. Simply loosen the thumbwheel located on the back, feed the string through the post, lock the thumbwheel tight, cut off the remaining string, tune up and you’re finished – better tuning stability and no more restringing nightmares.
- Bridge: Original Music Man Special Petrucci tremolo, free-floating (combines the advantages of a Floyd Rose with those of a vintage tremolo).
- Pickups: 2x DiMarzio Custom Wound John Petrucci Humbucker
- Electronics: 1x volume, 1x tone, 3-way pickup switch.
- Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling and sound!
- The guitar comes with the original Music Man USA formfit hardshell case.
