They tried about 10yrs ago and they did not sell well at all. The Armada just feels so different from any of the other stuff EBMM made at the time. It is a cool guitar though and I don’t plan on ever getting rid of mine…..
As you tour with that, and it starts to “relic” and the flame maple blue finish comes out, it’s gonna have some serious mojo and uniqueness. Awesome video
That's so cool. The guitar actually looks really good like this. Congrats Fluff on getting a guitar that's as uniquely you as it can get. You've got your own little piece of history there, and it suits you!
What a bunch of Absolute LEGENDS!!! Making an Incredible Thrash Plan, by taking a Guitar, sitting in a Trash Can. Amazing what the right People, Paint and Hardware can accomplish. Way to go Fluff!!!
Wow, what a wonderful guitar! It looks great, it sounds great! I hope they will build these again...in the future. Maybe also 7 string guitars. A rhythm, riff, rock and metal monster! 😃🤘
You're obviously geeked. Great story and guitar. Thumbs up to everyone involved. That was definitely a solid on Tomas's part. There's some irony in there. But a guitar was freed to make sweet music.
I think the Armada was one of the most beautiful guitar designs ever. I was so sad when it was discontinued because the ones in the wild just keep going up in price on the used market. They were always just out of my price range and I had hopes that they would at least add it to the Sterling line. Unfortunately, that never happened so now I will just have to admire them from afar.
Coming back to the channel after a while, so, sorry if this is super late but I'm really liking this video style where the talking and playthrough cut back and forth rather than doing one and then the other, feels oddly cinematic. Great video
As a tall guy at 6'-6" I wish solid body guitars would come in full size versions. Just chamber them to cut down the weight. I make most "normal" sized guitars look tiny. My only option to keep the proportions looking correct are the full size semi-hollows or hollow bodies.
next video will have a affiliate link to your signature for sure 🤣 but compared to what other guitar brands are doing right now especially when it its about just getting pricey, i think music man is top 3 of the most serious brands right now, the excact opposite of gibson for me! cheers 🎸🎸
Less than one in a thousand guitars I come across have this certain, "clatter" to them when you are banging chords. The strings are almost loose and clicky. I hope that make sense to someone. Those guitar are always a dream to play and record. That guitar has it. It actually comes thru in the video. Congrats on a gem Fluff! You still have 10 doritos on the fretboard.
Dude, that guitar looks sick! I love it. Something about that guitar reminds me of a Fernandes Vertigo I used to have. Had Seymour duncan pick ups and a sustainer built in to it. Body was unique and was almost same color as your Music man with black hardware.
I absolutely agree. I think the carved 3D Doritos shape is already enough, painting it a different colour is too "on the nose". If you look at the Kaizen and St. Vincent, they have the raised V shape too, but it's the same colour as the rest of the body and they looks very geometric and avant garde.
My biggest regret as a guitarist was not getting an Armada while I could. One of my best friends plays Armadas almost exclusively and they're such a treat to play!
Sweet dude.... That is nice as hell i like the color... My neighbors friend who works for our town, found a Jackson dinky in the trash and it turned out to be 1,500 bucks new... Someone must've pissed their girlfriend off.. but we cleaned it up and got it playing like a champ
No surprise here. Music Man is the best. Always has been. This is classic and totally fits the character of the company - from "trash" to thrash, what a killer looking guitar my friend. Glad it landed in your hands. :)
Fluff, PLEASE make them do it as your sig model and let them TAKE MY MONEY
Agreed…Please Music Man take my money!!!! The Armada is the only guitar I’ve ever seen my girlfriend say “I like that one”
Damn i want them to take my money too..hahaah it is just fkin increidble!
I’m onboard too. It would be epic! Definitely more of a signature model than others out there right now.
They tried about 10yrs ago and they did not sell well at all. The Armada just feels so different from any of the other stuff EBMM made at the time. It is a cool guitar though and I don’t plan on ever getting rid of mine…..
I'm game too!!
That thing looks killer. They could do a reissue with that same color and I think it would do well.
As you tour with that, and it starts to “relic” and the flame maple blue finish comes out, it’s gonna have some serious mojo and uniqueness. Awesome video
If they dont bring this back in this form, they are crazy. That thing looks killer
I've never played a Musicman, but I always liked the Amarda. It's a shame that it went out of production, they look amazing.
I love ur new video style of interspersed guitar playing within the story, keep it up!
Wow! What a story man!!!
Congrats! you literally gave life to a forgotten old lady!❤🔥
That's so cool. The guitar actually looks really good like this. Congrats Fluff on getting a guitar that's as uniquely you as it can get. You've got your own little piece of history there, and it suits you!
The people at EBMM are so cool. You can tell that they have a passion for making what musicians want.
I cannot believe I have not seen or heard of these, not once. That guitar is badass.
The triangular bit in the middle is a huge part of what makes that model look so good, imho. It's a neat idea and really well executed.
What a bunch of Absolute LEGENDS!!!
Making an Incredible Thrash Plan, by taking a Guitar, sitting in a Trash Can.
Amazing what the right People, Paint and Hardware can accomplish. Way to go Fluff!!!
That is sweet af. What a killer story, too - it’s always cool to hear of companies with that kind of ethos, to be that musician focused.
This is so cool. Big fan of the suspense building cutting the playing in with the story 👌 So... Signature model run?
what an articulate middle position of pick ups. wtf. never heard such a clarity with middle section :O wow. love that beauty
Dude what a great story, and I’m glad that Armada went to a great home! Enjoy!
Wow, what a wonderful guitar! It looks great, it sounds great! I hope they will build these again...in the future. Maybe also 7 string guitars. A rhythm, riff, rock and metal monster! 😃🤘
I have to admit, I never even looked at those until your vid. Wow! Color scheme and hardware changed my mind! LOVE IT!! Thx for sharing!
I love this new style of narration in your video
Great guitar, great story - what an honor. best to you and really appreciate your channel
That is a gem of a guitar! Looks absolutely amazing
That looks stunning !!! And I agree .. looks MUCH better without the binding around the hump !!
My God! That is absolutely stunning.
Super fun! - I used to have a Fernandes Vertigo done in this exact style finish. Really sick lookin. Love it.
That's awesome! That's a story for the grandkids......the last armada. Sounds like a classic naval movie......
You're obviously geeked. Great story and guitar. Thumbs up to everyone involved. That was definitely a solid on Tomas's part. There's some irony in there. But a guitar was freed to make sweet music.
Love the matte black look and the white trim
Thanks Fluff. You got some juicy riffs out of that guitar. Great save.
I wish they would bring this back. Love it.
you being so excited about one of your fav guitars had me beaming!
That's Cool, nothing better than a great story with a great guitar.
One of the dopest EBMM i have seen, that guitar looks and sounds effin sweet!
Dang!
Had they made a Stealth Armada to begin with, this Guitar might have taken off Big Time!!!
Just an amazing Looking Guitar!
Damn it man!!!! They need to bring it back !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This solid colour Armada is the first Music Man guitar I've ever wanted.
Super awesome looking guitar man!! Good for you 🤘!! MusicMan can without doubts reactivate that model 🤩
Mai It Looks So Nice!
Really Cool! 🤘🏻
Great story! Thanks for sharing
Wow, great story! Fantastic looking guitar too! Enjoy
WOW. Badass and slick overall, BUT It's the the binding on the headstock that makes it POP just that much more for me!
That is slicker than owl shit. Bunch of nice guys.
Just like Leo, never threw things away. Love music man 🫂
God that's cool! If anyone should have this absolute weapon it should definitely be you, Fluff!
That guitar looks fantastic!!!!
Awesome man congrats!
Fluff!!!!! I need this guitar in my life. It needs to be your signature model.
It looks So good Fluff !
Having just seen this today, I LOVE the new look for that guitar. Idk why they didn’t do that from the beginning. It’s sooooooo good.
I think the Armada was one of the most beautiful guitar designs ever. I was so sad when it was discontinued because the ones in the wild just keep going up in price on the used market. They were always just out of my price range and I had hopes that they would at least add it to the Sterling line. Unfortunately, that never happened so now I will just have to admire them from afar.
That guitar looks awesome
what an awesome story dude. Rad!
That first demo part sounds like early my chem, love it
Dude, how cool is that...?
Beautiful guitar with a cool story behind it. 👍
Ya dude, that thing is sick. They should totally make one as your sig model. Wasn't an Armada fan, but now I really really want one. 🤘
Yeah man thats just rad brother.
this is so rad dude
Love everything about that axe. I’ve not been a follower of EB guitars, but that body is great.
Hell yeah! Very nice geetar you got there sir, looks n sounds a beast!
Coming back to the channel after a while, so, sorry if this is super late but I'm really liking this video style where the talking and playthrough cut back and forth rather than doing one and then the other, feels oddly cinematic. Great video

Awesome looking guitar and cool story that goes with it.
Killer axe, sir! Tomas is a freaking *legend*!
Looks so much better with one solid color.
That thing is vicious, pretty cool hope they make more :)
Usually not a fan of that kind of shape, BUT THAT looks KILLER!
That guitar and the Quad Cortex are a match made in heaven!
This looks like it would make one hell of a Baritone platform with some new custom-voiced Musicman pick-ups.
Holy shit. That IS metal and that IS tough. Iceman-esque
It’s the corvette of music man line. Beautiful! I want one now lol
Wow! I've never heard of these before - what a cool guitar!!!!!!!!
That rules! I always loved the Armada’s silhouette but also was not into the Dorito chip down the middle.
next video will have a affiliate link to your signature for sure 🤣 but compared to what other guitar brands are doing right now especially when it its about just getting pricey, i think music man is top 3 of the most serious brands right now, the excact opposite of gibson for me! cheers 🎸🎸
Great story and that guitar looks amazing! I would buy one of those.

Those guitar are always a dream to play and record. That guitar has it. It actually comes thru in the video. Congrats on a gem Fluff! You still have 10 doritos on the fretboard.
Bring back the Armada! I would totally buy that version!
Favorite Armada I have seen.
You’re apart of Dragged Under? Wut?!? 🤯 I never thought I’d hear the Upright Animals riff just casually played in this video when I clicked it! 🤯🤯🤯
Dude, that guitar looks sick! I love it. Something about that guitar reminds me of a Fernandes Vertigo I used to have. Had Seymour duncan pick ups and a sustainer built in to it. Body was unique and was almost same color as your Music man with black hardware.
how messed up that I was thinking "Terminator" when you said it. WTF dude?!? what an EPIC awesome guitar. Holy smokes.
That. Is. beautiful.
I'm sitting at home swimming in guitars. All the while thinking i don't need anything else.
Then i see this.
Want.
One of a kind, and wow is that beautiful! The trash can story just makes it even cooler!
Great story, really cool they took your idea and actually did it. Great looking guitar.
I absolutely agree. I think the carved 3D Doritos shape is already enough, painting it a different colour is too "on the nose". If you look at the Kaizen and St. Vincent, they have the raised V shape too, but it's the same colour as the rest of the body and they looks very geometric and avant garde.
Thats a Nice Looking/Sounding Piece of "Wood".👌🙏❤
Greetings from Sweden..And a new Subscriber.🤘
These guitars actually are neck-through versus a set-neck, which makes them that much more awesome.
Me: How low do you tune your guitar?
Fluff: Yes!
I really love the shape and the look in general!!!
Thats beautiful!!!
These are fantastic guitars
Wow I would totally purchase this! This is the coolest music man I've ever seen!
My biggest regret as a guitarist was not getting an Armada while I could. One of my best friends plays Armadas almost exclusively and they're such a treat to play!
Uhhh?? Thats honestly the sickest EBMM Armada ive ever seen!!! If it had an ebony board?? 10/10. Please. Please. Please!!!!! Signature guitar!!!!
Sweet dude.... That is nice as hell i like the color...
My neighbors friend who works for our town, found a Jackson dinky in the trash and it turned out to be 1,500 bucks new... Someone must've pissed their girlfriend off.. but we cleaned it up and got it playing like a champ
The new Fluff model!!
What a beautiful guitar 🎸
No surprise here. Music Man is the best. Always has been. This is classic and totally fits the character of the company - from "trash" to thrash, what a killer looking guitar my friend. Glad it landed in your hands. :)
So fucking cool. The flex to say. It’s the last and only one. You can’t have it
That is one cool looking Armada 👍
As an rd and iceman person it scratches me the right way, what a beauty of a work it is!
That's a cool looking guitar right there!
