ALMOST LIKE NEW. The guitar has been very little played and well kept. It has remained in an excellent condition, visually. It has only some minimal, barely noticeable playwear and pick scratches on the body (mostly on its rear side) and pickguard, all only cosmetic in their nature. Technically, there are no issues with the instrument. The hardware, the frets and the electronics are all 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.
- One of the most versatile guitars in the world and the only serial guitar with 4 pickups! Created in close co-operation with Steve Morse (Deep Purple).
- Crafted with highest precision and attention to detail, by Ernie Ball MUSICMAN in San Louis Obispo, California.
- Finish: Black, with chrome hardware and black pearloid pickguard- a very classy looking instrument!
- Body: Poplar - this wood is often preferred because of its excellent resonance characteristics.
- 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! Bolt-on neck construction - this enables a fast, precise attack response, while retaining a full, "fat" tone. The neck feels and plays fantastic!
- Scale: 25.5" - Standard.
- Fretboard: Rosewood, with dot inlays.
- Frets: 22, high profile, wide - a perfect fretjob, another famous feature on Music Man USA guitars.
- Nut: 41,3 mm, FR Locking.
- Headstock: Matching to the body finish.
- Tuners: Original Schaller M6LA.
- Bridge: Music Man Floyd Rose licensed locking tremolo - stays perfectly in tune.
- Pickups: 2x Custom DiMarzio Steve Morse Humbuckers (bridge and neck), and 2x Custom DiMarzio Steve Morse single coils in the middle position. The latter are not available separately. They were developed by DiMarzio in co-operation with Steve Morse exclusively for this guitar model and are only factory-installed in Music Man Steve Morse guitars. A total of 11 pickup combinations, to cover all sound directions you can ever imagine.
- 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, 3x pickup switches.
- Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling and sound!
- The guitar comes with a high-quality original Music Man USA G&G hardcase.
