USA made guitar http://www.musicman.fr/page/fiche_produit.php?id_prod=181
I have the 6 string model, Micor piezo head color matching, inlays John Petrucci, and of course the beautiful color Mystic Dream!
Musicman bridge chrome (not floyd, etc.) and nut-bearing. Mechanical wraps!
The maple neck is screwed.
24 frets, 2 humbucker pickups and piezo pickups.
There are two 3-position switch:
-The first line faders can choose between 2 doubles (bridge, neck or the 2 splitted I think)
This top-it allows you to choose 3 configurations, only magnetic pickups, piezo pickups alone, or the 2 combined.
This means that the sound palette is huge!
With that we have a volume knob for the piezo, a volume knob for magnetic and a tone for the magnetic.
In addition there are two output jacks, one where only the magnetic pickups are concerned, the other where we can combined magnetic and piezo.
Suffice to say that everything is there for a huge range of config!
UTILIZATION
The handle is flat, moderately wide, and it seems very small. In fact the whole guitar seems small. The handle is very easy to play is nice, more access to treble is very easy, no problems until the 24th fret.
The guitar is small and very balanced, it sits well on the thigh when you sit and also to the strap, it changes the type guitars explore les paul that are heavy and where the fasteners of the straps are not always the right place.
Also very light, about 3 Kg
SOUNDS
Here, one can say that the beast is revealed.
An impressive precision and accuracy! (That musicman)
I think the other owner of the mark will tell you that it is the greatest quality of a guitar or bass musicman!
The sounds that were achievable with all the microphones and their configurations are awesome!
In bridge, the sound is crisp, attacking, pure, sublime! No sound fat, no clear sound is the sound Petrucci!
The piezos can play gypsy jazz with great sound!
I'm not big stuff behind this guitar, amp transistor and tube distortion Rocktron. But it throws quite a lot!
I tried it with a friend who has a stiletto mesa boogie, his breath away!
No, only the sound petrucci is there, but that's not all we can do really what we want!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it about 6 months, ordered the U.S.. € 1600 + 400 € VAT and customs instead of 3500 € in Europe!
It was this guitar that I wanted, I, and I am more than satisfied. It was really out of the mouth, the color is particularly sublime mystic dream, from green to violet via blue and black depending on the angle of exposure to light. I think his appearance is what I prefer. The sound is impresive
You'll understand that 10/10 for this guitar came from beyond the mortal world ^ ^
The price however is completely exaggerated, I will not get ever purchased in Europe!
