[jstarguitars]

serious question.i look at the armada and keep wanting to try one.is the neck the same as a silhouette or something different from the standard music man. im hoping its not like a les paul!

It feels like nothing else in the MM lineup, it is very round. Keep in mind that it also has a 24.75" scale compared to the 25.5" scale on the rest of the MM guitars (baritones excluded).

Actually, I think that it is somewhat similar to a Les Paul. Which, as I am sure everyone is aware of, can be well appreciated in some circles and in others it may take a little warming up to.

Keep in mind though - it IS a EBMM neck!!!!!

Does it feel anything like a Morse Dark Lord neck?

The thickness is similar to the the Dark Lord. The fact that its a shorter scale (as Pete mentioned) and that its neck through give it a different feel.

Now you guys got me wanting to try one out. I hate when I start getting GAS. Well, no I don't, but sorta.

Played one at GC in Houston tonight. Very cool guitar. VERY beefy neck and very similar to a Les Paul. Bigger than the Dark Lord neck. First thing you notice is how amazingly light the guitar is. Much lighter than the Dark Lord (there was one there to compare it to).

When you plug it in (put it thru a Mark V) you notice that it has the biggest sound I've ever heard out of a Music Man. The sound is monstrous. Much thicker than anything else they had in there (including their Les Pauls and PRS).

Very cool guitar and a total Les Paul killer - everything Gibson wishes they could do!
