Pete DuBaldo is an EBMM premier dealer. If Pete says there is more coming, that usually means he knows there is more coming.

I will order another L3 if you release a ´21 version. During 2020 I bought a few Suhrs, obviously a couple MM:s and as of this week I have a Lsl Custom on order. It's all love - love guitars, love my fav brands which MM is on the top. 2020 even F got a custom order on an "S" guitar which is unusual for me.

Let's make 2021 EBMM great!

The revised L3 didn't come out until late August; all 4 L3 colors and both L3 maple-top colors are not marked "color discontinued". If there will be any color changes for the L3 I suspect that won't happen until August/September again.

You’re right about the L3. And I love the current offering. Have yet to try the new pickups but heard great things about them.

Wondering if the new Axis color announcement is going to come next Tuesday... for no particular reason...

Hey, I'm new to the forum. I have a Valentine that I really love and I've started to really have an interest in buying some more Music Man guitars.

I was just curious if the announcement at NAMM is it and we'll get future announcements during the year, or if there is more to come during NAMM.

My interest is really piqued.

I guarantee there is more (colors and models) but I can't speak as to when they will be announced. Hopefully soon, even as a teaser!

Just give me a purple Cutlass with gold hardware already!

**BrickGlass** · 01-20-2021, 12:47 AM

Man, I hate those "vintage" type colors on the Cutlass, or any other guitar for that matter. It just comes across as trying to copy Fender, whether that is the case or not. They just aren't unique looking in any way. That gator burst of the Sabre on the other hand....amazing, and far from the typical Fender look. More of that please.

me too
wouldn't it be easier to just offer the same colors for all models? I'd be fine with the new colors they got for the Stingray Basses on a JP or Silhouette

Yeah, thats what I don't get. Say you are painting the Stingray bass in 8 colors, wouldn't it be best for slimming down stuff to just spray say the cutlass and stingray bodies the same colours as the bass? I'm sure there is an answer that explains it and makes sense but it leaves you wondering.

Nowhere. I called them.

Although the website has been edited since then - today it says for almost all models, almost all colors that the color is discontinued but more colors are coming soon, and to call them for more information. Which I already did, so I won't call them again.

I'm sure you have better info than I do. I'm going off of one call to Ernie Ball Music Man earlier this week. I was told we won't know the St. Vincent colors until "later this year," but maybe he was being nonspecific for the surprise. I have nothing against JP or those models, but they aren't for me. I'd considered a StingRay guitar, so I'll see what they offer it in.
