Very kind sir. :oops: I have to say I didn't know what to expect from the MM set as they were added purely on recommendation. Before that I'd only really played with Seymours and EMGs.
The thing that worried me was the possibility that these were going to be EMG sterile. I was pleasantly surprised to find a they had a great clarity and rich harmonic range. Bridge is crisp and direct without being brittle or sharp. Cleans up rather nicely as well. The neck is warm, driven and pure so all in all a great match. Jonathan rigged them to give an almost acoustic tone ala Petrucci in the middle position.
Haven't used anything else since I brought the feline home :D
