USA SERIES

At Music Man's factory in San Luis Obispo, California, the team starts with hand-selected tonewoods imported from only the finest wood suppliers in the world; bodies of alder, ash, poplar, basswood, mahogany, and maple are individually chosen and matched for their rich tonal qualities, consistent grain characteristics and exceptional natural beauty. Then, each body and neck is hand-selected for weight and kiln-dried to ensure low moisture content and maximum stability. The rest is noticed through handling and hearing!
