MusicMan Mariposa

[Barny]

At the UK guitar show there was a MusicMan Mariposa which I have never seen or heard of before, had a Google and search of the forum and found nothing apart from a Thomann page with no images. Anyone out there who can educate me?

The guitar was stunning!

My first thoughts are either prototype or fake.... ????
Anxious to know the truth!

Um, what?

Prototype? Upcoming model? Looks pretty legit.

 

[Daniel]

Stay tuned! More info coming soon!

It was hanging at the strings and things (UK musicman distributor) stand and it was beautifully made/finished, so no doubt it was legit. Roasted maple neck, I think ebony board.

Oh, want!

Interesting, might look pretty good without the pick guard too.

I really thought I was done buying until I saw that pic.

Is anyone ever really done buying? For me it would be if I were interested, what could I part with .

Legit. As Daniel says, more details coming soon.

Very Purty... Can't wait to try one!

I’m digging it. Just when I thought I was only 1 guitar away from completion

Intriguing!

When the Cutlass came out I was not a fan of the shape, AT ALL. Now I own one and LOVE it. So I am reluctant to say anything about this right now, because history may repeat itself.

What guitar stand can I put that thing on? The one I have that folds up in the back of my amp sure won't work!

After a quick google search I found some specs. Now I'm interested. Bring on the BFR model

Looks like what you get if a MM Al and a Gibson Firebird got married and had a baby.

Wider neck? 24.75”?

 

[xjbebop]

Legit. As Daniel says, more details coming soon.

OK... now I know.... will be sipping coffee awaiting more details....

I see a bit of the St. Vincent in there, too, with that hourglass shape.

Edit: 648mm. Darn.

24.75" I hope! 25+ years of playing and I just figured out that is the scale length for me, and the Armada is discontinued.
Crossing my fingers!

hmmmm.... 2 volumes...
