EXCELLENT. The guitar has obviously been played very little, taken good care of and functions perfectly. Apart from a few minimal surface blemishes in the clearcoat only - the "biggest" one, on the lower body edge, is shown extra - the instrument looks basically like new (see pictures). No dirt, no fingerprints, all parts still shine as new. 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.
- Benji Madden (Good Charlotte) signature model, developed after specifications by Benji Madden, with excellent rocking tone and unbelievably ergonomic handling. A very straightforward and reliable instrument.
- Crafted with highest precision and attention to detail, by Ernie Ball MUSICMAN in San Louis Obispo, California.
- Finish: Textured White, with chrome hardware and one-ply white pickguard.
- Body: Alder - a wood known for its very good resonance qualities. The guitar is very light and comfortable.
- Neck: Best 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!
- Neck / Body Joint: Bolt-on - 5 bolts, sculpted neck joint allows smooth access to higher frets.
- Scale: 25.5" - Standard.
- Fretboard: Maple, with dot inlays and custom "Knuckle" inlay at the 12th fret. 10“ fretboard radius.
- Frets: 22, medium (high profile, medium width - a special Music Man feature to suit fast and accurate playing). A perfect fretjob is another famous feature of Music Man USA guitars!
- Nut: 41,3 mm - Standard.
- Headstock: Matching the body color (which is normally an option subject to an upcharge on Music Man instruments).
- 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: Non-tremolo, Standard Music Man, strings-thru-the-body - for more sustain.
- Pickups: 1x Custom Wound DiMarzio humbucker - developed extra for this model, very versatile and dynamic.
- Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup, 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.
- Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftmanship, handling and sound!
- The guitar comes with a padded gigbag.
