Just took delivery yesterday. A new, 2024, MTD 534-17.

 

New strings and a setup. It's F'n amazing!!

Absolutely beautiful. I always thought the 534 meant 4 string so it shows what I know. So what separates this from a 535 (what I thought all 5 strings were?)

435, 434 are 4 string. 35" and 34" scale.

 

535, 534 are 5 string. 35" and 34" scale.

 

The actual model of mine is "534-17". 

 

Meaning. 5 string. 34" scale. 17mm string spacing.
