Up for sale is a stunning 2017 Music Man Ball Family Reserve (BFR) Luke 3 in Hazel Burst Quilt. This is a limited-run, collector-grade instrument that is in immaculate condition and 100% original — no modifications, no replaced parts. Comes with the original hard case and all case candies.
The guitar features an alder body with a bookmatched quilted maple top and mahogany tone block, finished in high gloss polyester. The figured roasted maple neck has a comfortable 12” radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 low-profile wide frets, and is finished in a gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax blend that feels fantastic in the hand. Schaller M6-IND locking tuners keep things perfectly in tune. At just 7 lbs 10 oz, it’s a comfortable all-night player.
Electronics are top-shelf: an HSS configuration with a DiMarzio Transition humbucker at the bridge and two DiMarzio custom single coils, run through Music Man’s custom active preamp. The push/push volume pot engages a gain boost, and a 5-way lever selector covers all the tonal ground you’d ever need. A truly special guitar at a fraction of the original BFR retail price.
