Hey guys, been lurking here since I played my first Armada about a year and a half ago.
Finally saved enough pennies and the wifey gave the thumbs up for our 10 year anniversary.
Found this NOS at Sweetwater as a demo, although I can't figure out why they called it that it is factory fresh.
I love this guitar and have barely put it down since it arrived.
Here's some good Sweetwater pics and a crappy cell phone snap to prove she's mine :D

Great guitar there! I know what you mean about not being able to put it down.
Cool quilt! Is that considered Angel Step Quilt?
 
Nice! Your cell phone pic looks great actually. Tell me how you like it? I've been GASing for an Armada since they came out, but haven't found the one that speaks to me yet color wise. How do you like the neck width compared to other EB guitars?
 
I love this guitar. Originally I set out to buy a Les Paul and couldn't bond with any of them I played. This guitar is very different for EBMM. The neck is more like a Gibson R9 than anything else.
I strongly encourage playing one it is very versatile but the neck may not be everyone's cup of tea. I personally prefer I bigger neck and this one has it. That's not to say it's a baseball bat because it's not but if you're used to a shredder neck it may feel huge. I've yet to play one of these that I didn't love.
 
Congrats, great Armada! I just love how different they are from the rest of the EBMM guitars, but still have that MusicMan vibe all over. Enjoy playing it, can't put mine down for weeks now.
 
Thanks guys, really love this guitar.
Anyone know if an allen wrench for the tiny screws on the bridge should have been in the case? I got no wrenches or anything other than hangtags and a sticker or two with the warranty card.

Hmm, I don't recall ever receiving a guitar with any tools. I keep two sets of Allen wrenches, Metric and Standard in my nice little box of guitar goodies.
 
My Axis came with wrenches back in 1996, 1998 and 2000... But the 2009 AL and the 2014 Silo Spec did not. So I would assume the answer to be no, the new ones don't come with wrenches. EBMM makes a killer guitar tool kit which most of us would love to have...
