Man o man, I wrote a book following this update and nothing was saved...oh well! short and sweet it is😄. Pics are very amateur but you can still admire the beauty. Once in the hands, You cannot put down... Not even for a set-up that will make her play even better. In due time my friends. Reflex ftw!!!! Thanks guys and gals.

Let me first say I'm not anyone of importance but I have a deep appreciation for EBMM guitfiddles! Well engineered and beautifully crafted works of art. This beaut should arrive by the 12th of this month and I'll leave it up to some of you to guess...

Hint: It was BP's best failure and a limited run at that!!!

I'm overly excited and big props to the seller/owner for working with me and jumping through more hoops than I care to share. I had to be selfish this time around guys or I would have shared the listing(I'm sure more than a few were contemplating). It's an early Christmas present to myself with no marital drama attached...

Happy Holidays to all!!!

Thanks guys! I won't spoil the fun just yet. I will say that I've only seen one pop up on the forum and that was many years ago before I joined the fam. Once she arrives... You better believe pics will follow.

Thanks! No, I just saw that 25th and figured I'd share the listing. That was my dream guitfiddle and it took everything I had to not pull the trigger... Good thing I have a quick "Reflex" lol. The one in question is quite rare compared to the 25th

Right! Can't stop looking lol. The neck is beautifully figured Birdseye as well... Which I will attempt to capture sometime tomorrow. This guitfiddle is MINT!!! So very fortunate to grab at an unbelievable price. Shes a keeper for sure. I name all my guitfiddle's at first sight... "Blondie" from here on out haha

Thanks guys! Blondie plays phenomenally. I've regretted selling my Black/Cream Reflex from the moment I listed it and as much as it saddened me to let her go, the monies from the sale went to a great cause. It was inevitable I'd get another but one with these specs were never a thought, as I had no idea this rare guitfiddle would surface!!! Thank you thank you thank you lol

I prefer rosewood boards on almost all my guitars but there's just something about an EBMM maple neck/board... especially the Birdseye maple necks I've owned over the years. Whether it be Silhouette/Axis/Reflex, They're stunning in looks and feel as if I'm one with the wood. This particular Reflex neck is a bit dry, action is quite high and I think I will try some 9s for a change. Once those are addressed, I'm certain she'll be my numero uno and for a long time to follow. This is one I'll never let go and the same goes for my '86 Music Man. Thanks again to the Ball family for creating the best guitars in the world!

*** I'll try and load more pics of this beauty in next few days ***
