It seems a really nice guitar, I like the switching. And the fact they’ve brought out a budget version.

Since Music Man say it was "...crafted to perfectly fit her form, playing technique and personal style" you might find it a bit niche unless your form, playing technique and personal style match. Or maybe that's just sales guff. I don't know  |

Well now, as it turned out this is the one I went for. Had a shortlist of guitars I’d checked out online and this was the cheapest so I tried it first. Absolutely blew me away, the shape is actually really comfortable, has one of the nicest necks I’ve ever played, frets are good, neck width/radius is perfect for me. Nice trem. Pickups are nice, good clear tones and nice with some dirt. I can’t remember exactly what the switching is, the 5 positions sound different but I can’t remember what each position is.  |

I imagined it would switch like a strat but apparently not. The switch gives, from position one, bridge, middle, neck, all three (in parallel), plus - where you'd expect the neck pickup selection to be – neck and bridge in parallel. I like the way the body is chamfered. The whole thing looks like something from Gibson's modernist range of never fully realised instruments. I do have a hankering for a decent mini humbucker somewhere on one of my guitars. By all accounts they sound very different to yer average PAF.
Body seems rather small. Does it neck dive or is the mahogany heavy enough to avoid it?

I don’t know if it’s the placement of the buttons of the length I usually have my strap at but there is no neck dive.
I wish I was good at describing pickup sounds.

How much did you pay for that one? You say, was cheapest!

It's definitely a better strap button position than an SG. So glad I moved mine to the top horn. Much more comfy. Maybe the body length helps too? Would you say it feels light? |

It does feel pretty light. Balanced well. Nice to play sitting and standing. |

Now all you need is some striking Annie Clark outfits and you'll be making millions. Hope you've got the cheekbones for it.
