Music Man USA Silhouette Special HSS Trem BS - Black Sugar BFR Roasted Neck Limited Edition

Electric guitar
LIKE NEW. The guitar has obviously been played very little and has remained in an excellent condition. Apart from some minimal pick scratches on the pickguard, there are absolutely no cosmetic issues with the instrument. Technically, the guitar is flawless anyway. The hardware and the frets are 100% perfect. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
  • A very versatile instrument with a wide range of tones and fantastic ergonomic handling!
  • Crafted with highest precision and attention to detail, by Ernie Ball MUSICMAN in San Louis Obispo, California.
  • Ball Family Reserve - a strictly limited run of instruments, built using carefully selected finest tone woods and previously reserved for the Ball Family and friends only!
  • Finish: Black Sugar - a special finish with a very fine grain, subtly shimmering. The pictures just do not do it full justice. The instrument looks simply awesome! With chrome hardware.
  • Body: Alder - this wood is often preferred because of its excellent resonance characteristics.
  • Neck: Best birdseye maple, roasted - this new 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. 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: Ebony - pitch black, with a very even structure. A flat (16“) fretboard radius supports fast playing and easy string bending. With mother of pearl dot inlays and BFR inlay at the 12th fret.
  • Frets: 22, high profile, medium width - a perfect fretjob, another famous feature on Music Man USA guitars.
  • Nut: 42 mm, compensated.
  • Tuners: Schaller M-6 IND locking tuners - 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 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: HSS - 1x DiMarzio virtual PAF humbucker & 2x DiMarzio Tone custom single coils. This particular pickup combination is very versatile, dynamic, easy to control and absolutely quiet due to the exclusive patented Music Man "Silent Circuit".
  • Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup combination, e.g. any DiMarzio, EMG or Seymour Duncan etc. (Very fair prices per pickup swap.) Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
  • Electronics: 1x Volume, 1x Tone, 5-way blade switch.
  • Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftmanship, handling and sound!
  • The guitar comes with a high-quality original Music Man USA formfit hardshell case, certificate of authenticity and all factory accessoires.
