Topic: Check It Out - Music Man Armada

http://www.music-man.com/armada.html

I personally think it looks pretty cool, even after I heard someone call it "the pizza guitar". Got the retro thing going on.

Re: Check It Out - Music Man Armada

Interesting, but not for me.  Too weird looking.  I'd like to play one, though, if it played and sounded amazing maybe I'd come around to the looks.

Beauty is in the eye (or ears) of the beholder. My eye says "ugly". My ears reserve the right to contradict my eyes.

You know its kind of a cross between a Firebird Gibson, a Les Paul, and a Corvette Sting Ray with that weird Maple top.

Re: Check It Out - Music Man Armada

I really do think it's cool looking. Wonder what the other color options will be.

Re: Check It Out - Music Man Armada

I do wonder tho, if perhaps it wouldn't be as offensive if they'd made it in a single color paint. Either all solid or with stained top and NO division between the two.

Re: Check It Out - Music Man Armada

The exposed threads on the tailpiece look very improfessional. the hump in the middle of the guitar seems arbitrary. Reminds me of the rear window on early 60's Corvettes though.

It needs to be thrown out the window of a moving car.
