I guess this is a new MAB forum. I posted this before, but can't find it now. This was 1 kick ass guitar. I say "was", because it was stolen from me. It's been over 2 yrs., but I still have hope, cause there's just not many of these around. Maybe one day I'll be reunited. I'll post more pics. Attachments:

The most important pic. The signature! I found this guitar at a pawn shop, and quickly picked it for $325 a few years ago. I didn't get it because of the name. This thing played like butter, which is unusual for a guitar at a pawn shop. I only changed one thing, I change out the block on the Floyd Rose bridge for a brass one from floydupgrades.com. If I ever find another one, I'll probably scoop it up in a heartbeat. Attachments:

Sorry to hear that your guitar was stolen. I have at least 15 different Tradition guitars in my collection now. I have 3 like the one in the photo. None with my signature though! Hopefully it will be found - on Ebay or in a local store and returned to you. Thanks for posting.

Thanks MAB and Erikrt123. Just trying to keep the word out. Not really sure how I can verify it, if I do find it, since these don't have serial #'s. Anybody could change the trem block. And something a buddy of mine noticed. Here at the office, I have a copy of the description from Access Music. It shows 5 pics, and he noticed right away that the knobs were different. I never noticed, and I had played the guitar for about 3 years!

That's a very rare tradition guitar. I used to have the exact one in red, which I sold to MAB a year or two ago. 22 frets, H-S-S with floyd. They are pretty good guitars. I remember the neck bring ultra thin and the pickups being pretty solid. Tradition makes some pretty good pups.
The 22 fret Tradition MAB sigs weren't made for too long. Every now and then you can find the Tradition MTM2 MAB signature, another well made guitar. It was a H-H with 24 frets...fixed bridge. It was one of my very first guitars which I used extensively. I sold that one to MAB too. I have a hoarding problem with guitars and at that time I needed to unleash some lol. They do pop up on craigslist once in a great while if you check. Check allofcraigs.com and see if a guy will ship.

It will probably be a life long search for this guitar and the USA Strat that was also stolen. I don't go out of my way to look, but when I get spare time I check the web and stop by a few pawn shops. Hell, I got it from a pawn shop. Figured it would end up in one eventually.

It's been almost 5 years since I posted, but guess what? My guitar is on the local Craigslist. Authorities have been notified. Hopefully, I'll be getting my guitar back soon.

I've got it back. Just put on new strings. Plugged it in, AWESOME! Needs some electronics work though. Luckily, that's my specialty!

What a nice guitar. I'm pleased you got it back after so long. I would be gutted if my MAB guitar got stolen.
