Ernie Ball Music Man Reflex HH Hardtail Gold Top by Texas Tone Factory

The Ernie Ball Music Man Reflex HH HardTail guitar appeared during late 2009 and was built until 2017, when it underwent a number of electronic improvements and became ‘The Game Changer’. Somewhat similar to the Axis line, the Ernie Ball Music Man Reflex HH uses three woods for the body – a Basswood shell, Mahogany tone block, and a Maple cap. The neck is a traditional Maple, with either an integrated Maple fingerboard or a Rosewood slab board. The top is bound, and the guitar receives a gloss solid colour finish with matching headstock – in this case, a Gold Top. The neck receives a mixture of gloss and oil finishes. On these models, the truss rod adjuster is a wheel at the body end of the neck, easily accessed without removing the neck or any other hardware. Overall very good condition. It sports a one piece Maple neck with oiled finish, locking tuners and a compensated nut that really helps with that always-problematic G string tuning. The body is Basswood with a Mahogany tone block and a Maple cap, and it has two comfort contours, one on the back and one for the players’ arm. While this model was available with a trem, this was ordered as a hardtail. The finish is Vintage Tobacco Burst, and it’s in very nice condition. The Reflex HH precedes the ‘Game Changer’ models, and has a much simpler wiring layout. A five-way switch selects either or both humbuckers, plus combinations of inside or outside coils. A second toggle switches between Series and Parallel modes. The pickups are by DiMarzio, and are suspended in a three-point carrier for accurate and rattle-free adjustment.
