Hi all!

Finally had the opportunity to take the plunge and purchase a Music Man guitar (thank goodness for that crazy GC clearance!) Of course the GC here had the Reflex with all the appointments I wanted: ivory color, uncovered zebra pickups,rosewood fretboard (I like the look of maple better, but the feel of rosewood much better), and vintage trem. This guitar has easily pushed aside my Fender American Standard Tele, Fender American Series Texas Special Fat Strat, and Gibson ES-335. All 10 of the tonal pickup arrangements are definitely pragmatic and not subpar offerings. My favorite feature may very well be the neck profile and feel--that satin finish is amazing and I think it's charmingly goofy how you can see the abrupt transition from the naked neck to the glossy headstock.

One last thing: GC, for some reason, could not find the trem arm; anybody know where I could obtain one?

Nice unit! Contact eb customer service, they will take good care of your need for a trem arm, or most anything else.

Congrats, GC has a long history of losing trem arms & cases. Call A.J. in customer service, he'll sell you one.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Zebra pickups on a white body looks awesome!

Customer Service's number is: 866-823-2255

Wait until you try that vintage tremolo - sooooo smooth and it stays in tune!

Did you happen to get that in Columbus? I had one exactly like that in my hands and had trouble deciding between that and an AL SSS. Congrats

Nope, I swooped this one up in Houston, although there were a couple of people that were eyeing it as well... Haha
