Unique Features
This beautiful Imperial Elite (MG Shape) was built with many of the specifications of a "true" Matt Garrison, with two important differences:  A Birdseye Maple FB (rather than Ebony) and 17.5mm spacing at the bridge (rather than 19.0mm).

The result is a beautifully playing and sounding instrument that has been strung E-C and was set-up with low action for effortless playing.
