    Who would be the one guitarist that you would love to see play a Ball?

    If there was one guitarist that you would love to see play an EBMM guitar, whom would it be and which model would you think they would love to play?

    For me, it would be Nuno Bettencourt and the guitar would be a toss up between an Axis and a Silo. Nuno was always one of my top three guitar gods. Plus, between playing for Extreme and now Rihanna he can do it all and be globally respected. He’s also an amazing live player/technician (sound, tone, feel) and an awesome showman. So, who would you pick?

    I'll second Alex. I'd like to see him playing some 25th's, or some Axis guitars.

    Yeah, it would make pretty good sense since Alex is using PRS's and LP's. I bet he'd make the 25ths sound phenomenal on stage.

    Me. Oh wait ... I do already.

    Ok, I'll join the Alex Lifeson vote. Think I recall hearing that there's a vid of him playing an MM90 Super Sport on the Rush in Rio DVD.

    +1 and a great player.

    Alex is not a bad one either.

    My "metal" pick would be Alex Skolnick of Testament. Seriously underated player..

    left handed HH Al for Eliot Easton would be fun. +1 for the Alex Lifeson, Dave Keuning from the Killers on a 25th Annive. Mike Campbell with anything.

    Putting a 25th/Reflex in Robben Ford's hands and seeing what happens seems like an interesting idea.

    There is a short video clip of Alex Lifeson in a tuning room with what appears to be some form of Axis Super Sport. I think it is part of the documentary they included with the Rush In Rio DVD.
