Rosewood fit for royalty
The pinnacle of premium. Delivering you superb playability, a frictionless feel and luxuriously sweet tones, the all-rosewood neck and fretboard is a rare find on a guitar. It's been carefully cut into the optimum playing profile, so you'll get a steady, comfortable grip that's unhindered by fatigue. And when it comes to manoeuvring around this blissful material, you'll be shooting up and down the scales thanks to the gunstock oil and hand-rubbed special wax blend finish.
Fretting nirvana. It's hard to beat a quality rosewood fretboard, and the MM90 shows you why. Just like the neck, you'll be whizzing around the registers thanks to the slick finish and natural properties of the wood. It's going to make your melodies shine and chords purr due to its soft, mellow response. Because it's a one-piece neck and board, you'll be treated to extra levels of sustain as it offers excellent transference into the body and pickups. This is the playing surface your fingers deserve.
Transcendent tone
A trio of custom wound Music Man pickups are at your disposal, so there are no limits to your sound. Built in a P90-esque thick single coil style, they're full of chime and glistening timbre. They excel at clean tones, voicing each note with stunning clarity and enormous textural depth. Low gain rock 'n' roll, jazz, country and blues are all in these pickup's wheelhouse, but feel free to push them further as they're more than capable of a muscular growl.
With three positions to flick between you'll enjoy a versatile performance from these pickups. The bridge provides plenty of cut, with a shimmering top end treble that's a joy when playing melodies and leads. Switch over to the bass-rich neck and evoke a deeper, twangier character that's syrupy and grandiose. Meanwhile the middle pickup balances the two, leading to a flexible cadence that can be employed for both rhythm and lead.
Music Man level appointments
The little touches that complete a masterpiece. Commanding a vintage style Music Man tremolo bridge with bent steel saddles, you can inject the pleasing glimmer of vibrato into your songs. But not only that, those meticulously crafted string saddles provide an accurate intonation and reliable performance. Speaking of performance, Schaller locking tuners ensure that your sound will be locked down, no matter how much you push the whammy bar!
And finally, an instrument of such magnificence deserves the finest finish, and so the "Ghost in the Shell" colour scheme is coated in high gloss polyester to make it glow on stage. You'll be the focus of attention for its luscious looks and soulful sonics.
