BFRJP model or the ASS or the silo or the AL,damn i cant decide either because i want one of each!
BFR JP6 Bahama Blue Burst
25TH Anniversary Quilt,maple neck with tremolo.
IRISH by the grace of God
Steve Morse standard model; with the coil-splitting pot I installed (replaced the tone pot), I can get virtually any tone I want. With the proper right hand technique, I can even get a decent Tele bridge pickup tone...

I could post exactly what I want, but that doesn't help you.
I had been looking at the different EBMM guitars and thought for sure that a purple sunset Y2D was IT. I went and played all the EBMM models, courtesy of Pete, our resident EBMM supplier and found out what I liked and didn't like about every model available. I really do think you have to play what you're considering. Or maybe I'm just really picky. I've learned a few things lately.......that I share with EVH. I rest my palm on the bridge....I dig in (so center pickups are a problem) and if the volume knob is too close, I turn it down unintentionally while playing. Oh....and I'm almost as old as Eddie and had a crush on Valerie while growing up.....but that's another story.As it turned out, (for me), the Axis was the guitar that I could find nothing about that wasn't perfect. For you, it will likely be different.

Try the most models that you can. I didn't have the time or the money to do it so I went with the cheaper model (not counting SUBs, which are not inferior at all) and I don't regret it, I love my Silhouette to death. Great tones in all departments. Unless you find any discomfort with the neck (JP might be too wide, Axis too thin, Luke is a V etc) you'll love each and every MM you find and you won't regret getting any model.

Silhouette Hardtail Black, Tortoise Pickguard, Rosewood Fretboard, Matching headstock, S.N. G28918 born 7/11/05
I love the Silos (not the Specials, I like 24 frets) and the Petruccis.
Right now my favorite model is the Silouette Special because of it's classic look and modern playability.
The Luke. The v-shaped neck is just soooo comfortable, and the body shape is perfect too. I like the fact that it doesn't have a pickguard, and it's very versatile.

2007 EBMM Luke LE Blue Dawn signed by Lucious
I have to give some more love to the Silo Special - I guess I grew up on single-coil Strats and have successfully migrated to EBMM's take on the classic 60s version. I'll take the be alder and rosewood mix, thank you very much.![]()
Wowa. Nice guitars! Gave me some great ideas! Anyone else want to share their awesome guitar?![]()
Favorite model of EBMM Guitars?
Axis Super Sport. Maple neck. Honeyburst. Humbuckers. Tremolo.
I like 'em. I like 'em alot. I got two of 'em that's how much I like 'em. And, if I could get away with it there would be many more in my collection
btw, the first two pics are of my more recent re-acquisition. and the bigger pic is of some hack (me) with my first (and still numero uno)

Definitely go try several out if you can. To me, each has a very different neck profile. I've tried all of them now -- with the exception of a few BFRs. The feel of the body's are also very different. In the past several months I've been lucky enought to sample all of the EBMM's -- minus the Gold Roller and AL BFR. I've been extremely surprised and pleased with some that I previously had no interest in. It's down to decision time for me now....
2008 LE Silhouette Special SSS
20th Silhoutte w/Piezo (For Sale PM if Interested)
I can't pick just one. I love the regular JP and the BFR JP. I love the Silo Spec. I love the 20th Anniversary Silhouette. I loved the 2006 Limited Edition AL. I have an AL with MM90s, piezo and trem coming.
I still want a regular Silhouette, a BFR AL, a Luke, and an Axis Super Sport with piezo.
It doesn't end there, either. I still want more.![]()
