Been waiting on this one since my wife ordered it for me as a wedding/birthday gift in July. Just got delivered minutes ago.

It fits my hand like a glove . Pickup placement is perfect. My right hand naturally goes to that spot. Light weight . Comfortable to play both standing and sitting. Sounds just right. The looks are the icing on the cake and the cherry on top.i regret that i have no axes/pics to share (never owned a musicman, but i've played some nice ones here and there).
lots of beautiful instruments to see here = all good!
it's beautiful, of course, but i'm curious about your favorite ax: aside from the 'looks', what makes it perfect? TIA

I like it !!I got creative this last weekend...

It is Frost Green Pearl. I did replace the black pickguard in an effort to brighten it up a little. I'm not a fan of the color but 1) it is growing on me; and 2) when your find a Stingray 5 that is under 8 pounds, you don't hassle over the other details.Is that the new(ish) forest pearl finish? Looks beautiful!
A '93 would have a mute bridge, has to be a '96 or newer. Beautiful wood and finish on that one, nice!
