EXCELLENT. The guitar is nearly 20 years old and has been played, too. Nevertheless, it has been taken care of and remains in a very good condition. Cosmetically, the instrument is quite clean (see pictures), apart from some unavoidable playwear in the clearcoat. The tremolo backplate is missing. Technically, the guitar has no issues anyway. The frets have ca. 70% life left.
- A very versatile instrument with a wide range of tones and fantastic ergonomic handling! This is a very rare Silhouette version with the Music Man Floyd Rose Tremolo. This guitar allows for a very low action (even by the Music Man standards) and plays nearly by itself!
- Crafted with highest precision and attention to detail, by Ernie Ball MUSICMAN in San Louis Obispo, California.
- Finish: Trans White, with Tortoise pickguard and chrome hardware - a discreet, but very classy looking instrument!
- Body: Alder - for best resonance characteristics.
- Neck: Select 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, but this is a stunning, one-of-a-kind piece of work even by the Music Man standards. The neck is a pleasure to grab, feels perfect to your hand and plays just fantastic!
- Scale: 25.5" - Standard.
- Fretboard: Select maple.
- Frets: 24, high profile, medium width - a perfect fretjob, another famous feature on Music Man USA guitars.
- Tuners: Original Schaller (made in Germany).
- Bridge: Music Man Floyd Rose tremolo - stays perfectly in tune.
- Pickups: HSS - 1x DiMarzio PAF Pro humbucker & 2x DiMarzio Tone custom wound single coils. This particular pickup combination is very versatile, dynamic, easy to control and absolutely quiet.
- 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!
