Yeah. Alot of people really love the feel of Music Man guitars. Even if they're not made out of alder or mahogany in most cases and they DO sport BOLT-ON necks...people don't care. They're just well made and DO warrant the price they call for. Their designs tend not to focus as much on flash and more on functionality...which I think is great...it's high time a company would come up with more functional, sensible guitars (THAT COME IN REALLLLLY COOL COLORS! Check out all the colors...mmmm...Pearl LAVA!). Sometimes I look at the superexpensive ESP standards and wish that I had one, then I look at the less expensive Petrucci model and realize it's a much better guitar in many aspects.
