Guitar "Made in USA" directly from the Custom Shop in San Luis Obispo. Very limited range of approximately 400 copies (according to Guitar World mag).
The 20th anniversary boasts an alder body complete with a table in maple veneer with a three-ply. In the center of the body under the pickups, is a block of mahogany (a unique feature of this model only). It gives the guitar a tone similar to a guitar whose body is mahogany, with no extra weight.
The pickups are two custom humbuckers with DiMarzio instead of the humbucking configuration / single-coil/humbucking the standard silhouette and a three-position selector switch replaces the five-position.
The handle has a 24-fret slim and rounded, almost a sense of unvarnished wood and for good reason, instead of a polyester finish, the handle has been oiled and waxed to main.Un Another new feature is a significant patented compensated nut allows adjustment of the accuracy sembleble enough to that proposed by the Buzz Feiten system. Vibrato is a music man. It is crossing over to dd'apporter sustain.La head is asymmetric with its mechanical varnish features the logo "20 th anniversary". Amber sunburst finish is beautiful. The key is on my rosewood modéle.Au first glance one can guess an exceptional guitar.

UTILIZATION

The handle turns out fantastic. With a relatively flat radius (10 I think) it allows all the tricks possible. The string action is relatively low in all areas of the handle. The ergonomic design allows ease of play and access to acute incroyables.La correctness is exemplary.
I thought the sleeves were Vigier who matched me best (they are still terrible) but now I must take my hat off to the maker of Music Man: that of the goldsmith. The markers of volume and tone and the selector are properly placed and easily accessible.

SOUNDS

Cete guitar can play everything that exists. Sound as jazzy riff in metal cutting well, nothing escapes him! Whatever the micro config used, the sound appears accurate with incredible sustain for a guitar neck screwed. The sounds are still very hot with a beautiful grain.

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for two weeks but it is clear that the guys on Music Man did a tremendous job. Basically, we have the perfect marriage between a vintage guitar and modern construction technologies. Try to have a lot of high-end guitars before I make this big pleasure, I must say that I "never, ever" had the same feelings of pleasure ETDE gameplay. There, I fell in love with this guitar (the notice must be felt). If you find one, throw you over for a try. The value for money is completely justified and a scratch like this we have to keep living.
Music Man now knows a new afficionnado. A thank you to Anthony Grang Guitarshop in Talence for allowing me to purchase this jewelry violin.
