decided to sell all my guitars..

[gerry d]

Except my EBMM.... I've just decided to offload all my other guitars because of the fact that they will never match my Luke and I just won't play them again.. I restrung my strats today and played them for a while and it struck me how much I have moved away from them, they no longer feel right... when I pick up an EBMM guitar they are just elegant well designed works of art, and when I pick up a strat I now feel lost... I wont miss them I'm sure and the money will go towards 2 more EBMM's.. even my little OLP which someone gave me is great which proves the design was right.. I'll never go back... EBMM's will be with me the rest of my playing days....

Amazing how this happens. I know the feeling! I've been through several different guitar (some good, some not), and there's nothing better, and definitely no better company. I feel good giving EB my money

I've always loved strats... and this is a bold move on my part.. I've been playing 27 years and a strat was the first guitar I ever had.. I've always had one but I've just moved on I suppose... I called my best friend who grew up with me and we've played together in many bands and told him I was selling my strats and he wasn't surprised.. bar none I believe EBMM to be the greatest guitar builder in the world...

"and when I pick up a strat I now feel lost... " This cracked me up!

It's kind of a love/hate thing: they spoil you into submission. lol

I really can't play them anymore... how weird is that...?? they feel so awkward... the body shape on the Luke and Silos are perfect... no going back...

 

[Tobin31]

I know exactly what you are saying. I am going on owning an EBMM for two months. My strat, tele, Les Paul are all up for sale. They do not feel right anymore. Once you discover EBMM everything changes.

Other guitars no longer make sense.

the body shape on the Luke and Silos are perfect... no going back...

Are they the same shape?

good work! This year i sold my remaining 4 strats, since i got my first ball in late 2004 ive sold 24 "other branded" guitars, now i just have my balls, plus 2 acoustics.

 

[phatduckk]

ya i like my MMs the most too. between the 20th, the luke and the AL i got all the bases covered.

the mm guitars are great. awesome sound, quality and value. im a fan

Whenever I think of crap I'm going to sell... to even think of selling any of the EBMMs makes me very depressed!!!!!

Looks like I have to liquidate anything else before I sink to that level!! the only non-EBMM I'd have a problem with is a strat I put together.... "frankensteining" for lack of a better term... though it's better looking then an over priced piece of beat to shi- wood!!! Plus there's some history between me and my wife that prevents me from putting it anywhere near the chopping block... at least for any price that may makes sentimental reasons worthless...................



Ugh, EBMM, make my life difficult, why don't you!!!

ps.... pardon my slightly tipsy posting......

Wow! You sold that many? No wonder you accumulate Balls at such an incredible pace.

I recently got rid of my U.S. G&L Invader and my Gibson Les Paul at the same time I ordered my JP. I knew the only way I was ever going to play either of them again is if my Axis was not available. I order the JP for the things it can offer that the Axis cannot. I secretly suspect it will replace the Axis as my main axe once I get it.

My brother in law plays a custom shop Strat. I do all of setup work on it, and every time I play it, I'm thinking "What a piece of $hit."

 

[threeminutesboy]

my strat is gone few weeks ago and my Yamaha SG 2000 was sold one year ago to finance the EVH

All electric guitars are now EBMM and it's just fine

 

[JDouglee]

I'm not selling any of my guitars, but regardless I'm keeping my Balls.

Sometimes my Balls come in handy, and they definitely get used!

 

[Karlsson-75]

I sold every other ones that i had..except my two Lukes!.
Those are the ones i'll keep and really want to play with...

I just recently sold all of my non EB/MM guitars because they weren't going to see any action and the money is nice. I did the same thing with my amps just keeping my Mesa Boogies. After years of trying just about everything out I think I've finally dialed it in. It's time to stop with the gas (other than the occasional EB/MM or Boogie).

+1 on change and evolution

most of my guitar playin' buddies came to the conclusion early that I had a serious addiction after getting my first Ball and my first Dr Z

and, now when I think about trading any gear, it's always the twins that get ruled-out first ....

that said, I still have a couple of non-Balls in the collection .... sentimentality can be a funny thing sometimes

cheers, eh!

Balls are the only guitars I have.
