Music Man Guitars

Music Man Guitars, or Ernie Ball Music Man Guitars to give them their full name, is an American guitar manufacturer. The company operates out of San Luis Obispo, California. They are equally as famous for their basses as they are for their guitar designs. Their instruments have been played by a number of famous players over the years such as Steve Lukather, Albert Lee, Steve Morse, and more with many as endorsers with signature models. Music Man instruments have visually distinctive headstocks. These feature a non-standard '4+2' tuner configuration rather than the more standard 6 in line or 3 a side.

Music Man Guitars started out in the mid 70s, owned by a group of three men, Forrest Walker, Tom White, and none other than Leo Fender. Today the brand features USA made Ernie Ball Music Man guitars, and more affordable import models under the Sterling by Music Man brand. Music Man Sterling instruments, named after Sterling Ball, take the same models from the USA lineup and offer them at a more affordable price, often retaining many of the high end features such as roasted maple necks, 2 point tremolos, and specially voiced pickups. All Music Man branded guitars are built in California. Ernie Ball Music Man also have a range of lower priced imported guitars with the brand name Sterling by Music Man.

Music Man instruments feature a wide variety of designs, and specs for players of all styles. A wealth of signature guitar models for artists such as John Petrucci, St Vincent, James Valentine, and more take centre stage of the Music Man lineup. If the guitars are good enough for these players, they're good enough for the rest of us! But it's not just electric guitars the brand is famous for, in fact one of the EBMM's most famous models is the StingRay bass which delivers an incredible range of tones from a classic single humbucker setup.

The Stingray bass is perhaps Music Man's most iconic and successful design. Stingray guitars pay homage to the original music man models. Generally, Music Man guitars are slightly retro in style but have a high level of originality in their designs. A diverse range of players from St Vincent to John Petrucci use Music Man guitars exclusively.
