Members EdgarC Posted May 22, 2007 Members Share Posted May 22, 2007 I purchased a MM-1 for my Xmas gift ($139) and could resit temptation on the black Petrucci's ($149) so I bought it too Couldn't be happier with the purchase! I've owned higher end Shecters and the famous MIA Peavey Predator and for the $$ the olp's are awesome!. U might wanna buy some good tuners for the Petrucci though. I recommend the Shecter minis at warmoth.com:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A_Gitarman Posted May 22, 2007 Members Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'm considering the new MM1F. It no longer has a 'carved' or 'flamed' top, but they've upgraded to a REAL Floyd... supposedly for the same $$$ as the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a well setup and Dimarzio'd Yellow flamed OLP(VH style) and it was a actually very easy and comfortable player. The bridge was of the cheaper variety but held a tune throught a flurry of dive bomb harmonics as I remember. Very tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted May 22, 2007 Members Share Posted May 22, 2007 Every time I see one, I'm tempted. I wish they made a few more colors, though... The photo-flame is too hokey, and the solid colors they offer aren't my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place I got my Mockingbird deal 2 weeks ago had one of those too for $225. Almost bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members super_doom Posted May 24, 2007 Members Share Posted May 24, 2007 If you want MusicMan quality and mojo for an OLP price...just buy a MusicMan. You can routinely find the SUB1 MusicMans on eBay for under $400. Built in San Luis Obispo, California right beside the Petruccis and Lukes. May not have alot of glossy bling to it, but are you buying it to look at or play? They come as either a one or two pickup models, fixed or tremolo bridge. I bought one for $299 on eBay and have never regretted it.http://www.ernieball.com/mmonline/specs/instruments_subguitar.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashasha Posted May 24, 2007 Members Share Posted May 24, 2007 I've got the MM1-FR and while the frets were all over the place height wise, a fret job turned it into a solid player. I know that the pickups are cheap chinese stuff, but they've got a great unique sound to them. The neck pickup is so bright that it almost sounds like a single coil to be honest. If you run it into something hot it breaks up really nice in the bridge position. But my favorite is mixing them into a clean phased effect and it just sounds like a bell or something. Its cheap and it won't be worth much if I sold it, but it is a fun guitar and the neck is damn near perfect dimensions for me. For the money you can't expect too much more. May require some TLC to get it setup though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
