I mean, the top on my BFR also sucks big time, but I believe it's because of the lighter green finish that the true sickness of this top shines through.

I think you meant suckness...

That top looks different than the EB photos because the flash makes the depth really pop. It is a nicely figured top to start with but it looks super defined with plenty of 'flip-flop' mostly because of the flash IMO.

I agree that flamed top is the way to go, D.K.! They have all been excellent from what I've seen! I would happily take that quilted Emerald Burst though!

That top is ridiculous. I hate it. Plus, everyone knows green guitars don't sell. Why would someone try to sell, or even build that kind of abomination?

Maybe everyone's right....no-one's bought it yet ....despite the extreme suckosity!

Though personally I'd love a pearl green SS

Well, BP is a father whose sons work for Ernie Ball/Music Man. Scott AKA Dargin works the Music Man side mostly. Brian works the Ernie Ball side mostly. Is he a big man? Well, he's not as big as he used to be. Maybe, we should call him Svelte Poppa. But yeah, like Don said, he's a larger than life kind of guy and has a big heart for sure.

Dude Big Poppa is Sterling Ball, owner of EBMM.

That is a really nice top, one of the nicest I've ever seen.

I don't understand some of the criticism here.

That is one of the best tops I've seen in a long time.

Now that pattern in blackburst.

Oh yeah.

Scooby, it's a running joke around here saying "That top sucks!!" when really it's that the most pissa top I've ever seen!!!

Hahahahahaha

With all the new members popping up, maybe it's time for a new EBMM FAQ to answer questions like:

1. Why does everyone keep saying that top sucks?
2. What the hell is a dargie?
3. Can anyone recommend a good dealer?
4. What's a Lucious?
5. Who is BP?
6. Does Smellybum's bum really smell?

You get the idea...
