An instrument from the strictly limited "Music Man PDN Honey
Roasted" series. These are guitars and basses, some of them unique
and one-of-a-kind, built to individual specs exclusively for the Music Man
Premier Dealer network. Using selected Music Man guitar and bass models
from the current production as a basis, all these guitars and basses share
unique features such as a mahogany body in the special "Honey
Burst" finish, Pao Ferro fingerboard, stainless steel frets and MOP
inlays, and on top of that, as a special extra feature, an extremely
beautiful figured neck made of "Roasted Maple" and a
colour-matching headstock. These instruments are priced very moderately,
considering the numerous extra features, however, they will be instant
collector's items! *

group of high-end retailers, dedicated to the Music Man brand and stocking
a wide range of Music Man instruments, with the exclusive opportunity to

Ball/Music Man instruments. *
A professional, legendary top quality instrument with an excellent tone
and unbelievable handling! *
Crafted in San Louis Obispo, California by the famous Ernie Ball Music Man
team, using a combination of latest guitar building technologies, high
skills and meticulous craftsmanship. *
Finish: Honey Burst, High Gloss Polyester - a special PDN finish, warm and
transparent, to highlight the fine wood structure. The instrument looks
simply awesome! With shell pickguard and chrome hardware. *
Body: Mahogany. *
Neck: Best birdseye maple, roasted - this new special treatment by Music
Man allows the performance of the neck to benefit of a thermally modified
microstructure: It increases dimensional stability, resistance to
temperature and humidity changes and subsequent warping, reduces density
while maintaining stiffness for a lighter neck with sufficient strength,
yields a microstructure similar to naturally aged woods with lower
moisture content, results in more resonance and less damping, eliminates
the need for hazardous chemical treatments. Vibrational
testing indicates that roasted maple exhibits clearer tone with a stronger
fundamental than untreated maple samples. 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! *
Scale: 34" - Standard long scale. *
Fretboard: Pau Ferro - a very noble look and feel, while the tone is
somewhat similar to the more commonly used rosewood. With mother of pearl
dot inlays. *
Frets: 22, high profile, wide - a perfect fretjob, another famous feature
on Music Man USA guitars. *
Nut: 44,5 mm. *
Headstock: Matching the body finish (an option normally subject to an
upcharge on Music Man instruments). *
Tuners: Schaller BM - placed in the 4+1 design. *

plate. *
Pickups: 2x Original Music Man USA humbuckers - with alnico magnets. The

rocking character. *

Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling
and sound! The overall quality is comparable to the best Custom Shop
instruments made by the famous US guitar companies - which, however,
usually are in completely different price regions. *
The bass comes with a high-quality original Music Man USA formfit
hardshell case and all factory accessories.
