The Armada is available in a variety of noticable finishes such as Trans Black/Black, Natural/ Honey Burst/Red, Gold/Black (opaque). The guitar's mahagony body shows a V-shaped bookmatched and flame or quilt maple top and 4-Ply Cream/Black/Cream/Black bindings.
Featuring a Honduran mahagony neck with a rosewood fingerboard with 22 high profile steel frets, a scale length of 24.75" (62.9cm), and a standard - Tuneomatic bridge with thumbwheel height adjustment and individual saddles with Graph Tech tail piece, the neck colours match body with bound, figured maple capped, matching painted headstock. The Music Man patented compensated nut is 1.688'' wide. Machine heads are locking Schaller M6-IND with pearl buttons.
The neck's truss rod is easily adjustable without the need to remove strings or components.
The Music Man HH humbuckers are controlled by a 3-way toggle switch and passive volume and tone circuit which is shielded by a graphite acrylic resin coated body cavity and aluminum control cover.
