Hello EB/MM forum, I'm Jordan! It's a pleasure to be here. I've heard good things about this forum from some of my other haunts (mostly the Duncan forum) and I thought that since I finally scored a Music Man guitar, what better place to show it off and talk about it than here?
I've been in love with EBMM instruments ever since I played a 25th anniversary at my local GC back when they came out. That guitar had a profound effect on me - I couldn't believe a guitar could sound that good, play that nicely, look that incredible, and be just all around amazing. Ever since then, I've wanted a Music Man axe.
I've had no plans to buy a new guitar. In fact, I've been rather broke. I'm a full time student finishing up my Bachelor's degree and I don't have time to work full time. But being broke doesn't stop me from browsing Craigslist. I've never had a "shredstick" guitar, so I was looking to see what cheap Ibanez/Kramer/Hamer/etc might be up there. As luck would have it, I came across something incredible:
A basically brand new Y2D with case for a measly $500. Fortunately, I had just sold a few pedals, so I had that money plus some borrowed band funds. I swooped that guitar ASAP and I've been reveling in the glory for the last week. I can hardly believe how clean it is - there's a very small nick in the clear coat near the bridge and a very small crack on the side, but other than that it's mint.
The guitar plays like a dream. Seriously, I was playing it a few days ago and I was so in touch with the instrument that for a few minutes I didn't even feel the strings. I've never had a guitar that just begs to be played like this one. The feel is unreal, as is the tone. The pickups are voiced SO GOOD. I love all of the different combinations you can get - there's even a stealth 6th combination with all of the pickups on. This is the only guitar where I've absolutely no desire to mess with it. I put Schaller Strap locks on it, but that's it.
Just thought I'd share my new baby with you kind folk. Cheers!
