I was told the 2923 standard 9 set...at least that what it was back in February when I bought my Cutlass. I wish I had saved that email but I can't find it.

The kool-aid is strong with this one..... Brett posted a new video last night to sell off his strat.....
fwiw Mr. Burgs, in case you haven't already discovered this, the entire line up of MM guitars share certain features / characteristics. However, each model also offers something unique as well. Definitely something for everyone. As you'll notice on the forum here, most of us own at least a couple of different models while at the same time develop a preference for one.
I, for example, have realized through trial & effort that the Albert Lee model is the closest thing to the perfect guitar for me. Ergonomics (feel) being one of the most important factors. Even with that, I still have the option of playing my AL's with humbuckers, strat-style single coils, or the ultimate bad-assery of triple MM90's...
Life is pretty darn great in the EBMM family!!
...that's not even mentioning the outstanding customer service.....

Welcome Burgs! Great playing and tone. I'm also a Music Man and AxeFx guy. Lethal combo of awesome sauce.

That comment just adds insult to injury as I have been hunting an AL mm90 for quite a while. Without any result. Looks like all the guys who own a cool one would rather sell their kids. ..

About three weeks ago buddy of mine said he would sell me his Axe/FX II - I've been bugging the crap out of him ever since but he hasn't let go of it...

Hey! I found one for you!
Oh wait, yeah - I'm keeping that one. OTOH, I have 3 children, aged 13, 11, & 9. All are in near mint condition and are hard workers.

Usually by the time they hit 13, their work ethic needs serious "reinforcement" to remain in effect - good to hear you're keeping up on them.
Tell them if they work hard and stay out of trouble, they can grow up to buy Music Man guitars!

I, too, am new to MusicMan guitars but I wouldn't be all that surprised to see the hybrids come factory on a floating trem strat-like guitar. I have used hybrid strings for years on my single-coil floating trem guitars for the balance. Heck, Carl Verheyen has a signature set of strings that are designed for floating trem strats that are basically the same as the Slinky Hybrids.

... Oh, and Burgs, you have cost me a great deal $$$ buying gear you've demoed over the years. 
Seriously, one of my goto's for YouTube demos for a good while. Glad to see you taking this plunge, too!

Thanks for the links. I had tracked both. But the DD doesn't have a trem and black is a bit "boring" to me... Arrangements can always be made as I have friends in the US who can always ship to me.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info.
Can you tell me if the nut will accomodate 10-46 without needing a recut or will it need to be reslotted at tad?
Many thanks,

The nut is cut for the .26 .36 and .46 already so 10-46 is perfect. If you go to .11-48 and .10-52 Slinky strings I would address the nut to make it play flawless.
thx
