Very nice. I love MusicMan guitars. I had a John Petrucci model up until about six months ago and absolutely loved it. It was just a little too purple for me.
 
Gorgeous, Spud, and must sound & play devinely :AOK: :)

As we've discussed, MM builds a great guitar. This is one of them. :bravo:

Now...what else made the box 22-something pounds? A lifetime supply of strings for the rest of your arsenal?:poke: ;)

It does play very nicely. I haven't plugged in and played loudly yet. That is on the schedule for tomorrow.

Musicman does build incredible guitars right here in the USA and they are very reasonably priced. Think about the artists that have signature MM guitars: Steve Morse, Albert Lee, John Petrucci, Steve Lukather and Eddie Van Halen. Is it a coincidence? Nope. They flat out make a great guitar.

22 pounds? It comes with a case.:D ...........and a DVD that will make you play like a pro in one month.:rotflmao:

How's the pickups on that thang? Any decent tones?

The Pickups are great. As for tones you'll have to ask him, but this guitar has great toan:D and it won't go out of tune. The tremolo is superb.

And, where are YOUR clips of YOU playing?
Well Mr. Shoe...since I am having such a good time playing it I just don't want to take any time to set up to record anything. Ha!

Besides, if I do you'll all start saying "lets hear it through the Mace, or the Hot Rod Deluxe, or the Valve Jr, or the Delta, etc. I JUST WANNA PLAY!
 
Shoot....after all that I need to have a cigarette and I don't even smoke:thwap:

Oh that sounds sweeeeet, great looking too congrats Spud:AOK:

I think is all a clever hornswoggle, a nobble and bunco, created to cause evil GAS amongst gullible Fretters. We need a video of Spud playing it before we believe it. :thwap::nono:

Go to the first post. My name is on the box and you can see the Music Man logo too. Neener neener:p
 
Spuds is running around the house with plates of pancakes, I know what it is like to get something like that...it is time for pancakes the guitar video can wait:D

I was asked the differences between the OLP and the Musicman. This is pretty much it.

1. Electronics are silent on the MM and noisy on the OLP
2. Pop in adjustable tension trem arm on MM - screw in on the OLP
3. Neck/body joint is smooth on the MM - more bulky on the OLP
4. MM has a more solid neck mount 5 bolt versus 4 on the OLP
5. MM body is alder - OLP is basswood
6. MM has Schaller locking tuners - OLP generic sealed
7. MM has compensating nut - OLP doesn't
8. MM made in America - OLP Asian
9. Case included with MM - OLP no case
10. Huge brass block on MM trem - OLP is cast zinc

The necks generally feel the same shape wise but the MM is smooth as a baby's butt and the OLP needs a lot of attention to get it there. The OLP is pretty well made though for an inexpensive copy. They sound very similar as both have active pickups. I'll be keeping my OLP and doing some fine tuning on it.
 
Congrats Spud!

Where'd I see that, over at the Agile Forum? I can't keep straight which forum I've seen what on!

It was on the "old guys that rip" forum...and maybe the one you mentioned too.;)
