This may be the most incredible guitar I ever played. I mean it has the Les Paul sound and the playability of a strat. Check out the specs:
BODY: Chambered basswood, maple cap, mahogany tone block from bridge through neck joint.
NECK: Birdseye maple with thick rosewood fretboard, very comfortable access at 22nd fret. Easy access to truss rod adjustment.
PICKUPS: Custom wound EVH Dimarzios, the same ones used in EVH and Axis models.
ELECTRONICS: 5 way (1 bridge, 2 split bridge, 3 bridge/neck, 4 neck split, 5 neck), parallel/series switch which puts your humbuckers in series/parallel mode very cool if you want all the coil tapping with P90 sounds.
BRIDGE/TUNERS: 2 point trem and Schaller locking tuners. I can divebomb all day and stay in tune! The bridge does not go backwards so it gives more of the fixed bridge sound since it's flush with the body.
This thing has that great hollow, squashy sound you get in a Les Paul neck pickup. I mean it really does sound like a Les Paul to me. Considering the neck is bolted on it sustains like crazy. It may be the best bolt-on guitar there is.
I really wanted a Les Paul badly but when I started playing the high frets with ease AND had the whammy bar AND got the same style of tone AND had a comfortable forearm rest, it was all over. I haven't even thought about a Les Paul since I got this guitar.
At $2000 it's not a cheap guitar either, but the quality is perfect. It perfectly intonates, stays in tune, no fret buzz, and great sustain. The pickups are some of the best pickups I've ever heard.
I was going to get the Axis Super Sport except on that one the pickups are not adjustable and the body is not sclupted and the frets of the Reflex are slightly bigger and the Reflex has a chambered body.
Use parallel with coil tapping and it sounds like a Telecaster. Use series and it sounds like a Les Paul. Use series and coild tapping and it sounds like a rosewood strat. There is nothing more that I could ask for except a longer warranty. Musicman guitars only come with at 1 year warranty.
I'm not good at taking pictures so this does no justice. There is something about an all black guitar with black/cream zebra pickups and cream binding that looks so cool. I swear it's already my favorite guitar.
