Music Man Custom Design Experience coming!

[TheKillersFan]

I was able to snap this screenshot of what I assume is the frozen berry pearl in my winning combination. Resisting has suddenly become more difficult

This is oodles of fun but hopefully this will be around in a while when I have more money to think seriously about it!

Well there goes 3k - this is the best news I’ve heard in a long time. I need to work out exactly the combo I want and work out my finances but I will be doing it. The flame maple neck option has got me!

 

[Gsnorgathon]

I wish they offered the flame maple as a fretless option. Ah, well. Better for my budget this way.

yeah, I was looking at fretless as well. You *can* get a flame maple neck but then I promptly covered it up with the pau ferro board and matching headstock and I realized that was not the point...

 

[Gsnorgathon]

A flame maple headstock is nice, but for $300 I'd really want to show off the whole neck.

I guess some finishes and options are strictly reserved for BFR , Artist models, and PDN exclusives.

This is what I came up with (black sparkle):

I do agree that having real world photos would help tremendously!

[Ian774]

That’s not all of them unfortunately

 

[NigeJ]

Probably like, what, $2800?

My option was over$3200.....

 

[SteveCS]

Also, for those of you who have Ray fretlesses, are the dots at the fret position (as they should be) or are they between, like on a fretted?

On mine ('91 blank plank) they are where they should be, not at the 'in-between' positions. I assume this would also be the case for an unlined 'Custom'. One thing I still find puzzling is why the fretless option still has the compensated nut, or why there is no option for a standard nut...

I hate that the once free hardshell case is a $200 upgrade

Same here.... not worth the extra dough, IMO.

I completely agree but I actually like the mono cases better. They are so light.

But how are they holding up to actual traveling use? Can i stack it in a van or truck?

If my Purdue Boilermakers win it all, I may be tempted...
