Just OK

Everyone knows this is not even close to a real MM. I own the OLP Petrucci and the only thing this guitar has over that is quality control from one guitar to the next. After doing a few upgrades to the OLP it plays as good if not better than this one and was half the price of the Sterling. That's including the upgrade costs. This Sterling has a bridge that I would replace as well as the pups. So, it comes down to... is this guitar, after the upgrades that are needed, worth the overall cost? There are far better guitars in this price range that have better parts IMO. I'd even buy the Sterling by MM AX40 over this guitar. Ultimately, I'd apply the money you would spend to the down payment on a real Music Man.

I just spent about two hours playing an older OLP version of this guitar in the local GC, but let me say, it is NOWHERE close to the MM JP guitars. Now....as for what it is, it is a very very well designed and built machine. The trem and tuners rock, the pickups aren't anything special, but they are dynamic, meaning if you're any decent at guitar, you can really make 'em sing. Played it through a Peavey Vyvpr, great combo right there, went from perfect Limelight (Rush) tone to Pat Matheny to Constant Motion (Dream Theater). The guitar plays very easy, both leads and rhythms. I highly recommend it for anyone in the market.
