Not the prettiest MusicMan model, to put it mildly, but an exceptionally built, beautiful instrument for £999 brand new delivered.
I could never imagine these selling all that well.

They've got a roasted crazy-figured neck now as standard... so if you prefer your wood less blingy, this is definitely a good grab as the new ones at full price will most likely be pushing £2k.
Interesting quirk I just noticed - stainless steel frets - divisive!
I have one and it’s a bloody amazingly well built guitar. I didn’t pay full whack and just a tiny bit more than the above for a new sealed one which was in their warehouse fresh from the dealer.
EDIT! GG have refunded me to take it down to £999 due to how close my purchase was to this. Good work GG.
QC is miles above Fender and Gibson.
I wasn't even aware they'd tarnished the name with such an awful guitar design.

I used to play in band with a singer who owned one - and it was a great sounding instrument, with really nice build quality. Some of the design was a little... clunky, but it actually made sense from a player's perspective. Often some of the best looking guitars aren't so good to operate live (not talking about the necks etc.... I mean the controls etc). The MM was actually very good, as I had to play it a couple of times when I broke strings etc...
TBH, if I had a bag of sand spare right now, I'd be snapping one up.
Well I used to think the Albert Lee was an 'out there' shape, until I ended up buying one.
If you've never picked up a Musicman guitar or bass, you really need to see how much attention to detail they have. Everything is just first class. There are a few people I know who want to know what the Musicman humbuckers are in the Stingray guitar to put them in their other guitars - you can't 'buy' them off the shelf unfortunately.
Compared to my Les Paul, the Stingray guitar is light years ahead and way more articulate.
They're quite elegant compared to the ones in the link, and still borderline ugly...

That's a Sabre - I think they were the active ones... IIRC
I had the same feeling, but an extra £1000 +.,,,,nah.
The 2018s have the full oil & wax treatment that MM is so good at... it's a big deal... will cross fingers that nobody will buy them and they'll get reduced to clear too someday maybe.
Yeah I agree they are stunning! I have an all rosewood neck Albert Lee which is fantastic. My Musicman Stingray Classic 5 String Bass has a highly figured birdseye neck and I love it. The normal maple necks do look a bit plain compared to it.
