Imaginary EBMM Custom Shop

[jamminjim]

Holy 2006, Batman.

and it started in 2003!

OK. I would want a double humbucker Albert Lee with an alder body with Koa top and the mahog tone block. The body would be chambered like the 25th. It would have a rosewood neck with African ebony fretboard with medium stainless frets. I would order it with open-diamond inlays on the 3rd 5th 7th and 9th frets and a double open-diamond on the 12th fret. The inlay material would be MOP. The headstock would have the identical Kao as the body for the veneer, and also the name would be hand inlaid with the same MOP. The hardware would all be black stainless steel. The humbuckers would both be 25th Anniversary PAFs with black covers. It would be a hardtail with locking hipshot tuners.

Not asking for much am I?

Would that be the real BP, or imaginary BP?

I would weep for a EBMM Ukelele.

I still want a green hardtail Axis!

I'd love a seven-string AL. Buttercream with a tortoiseshell pickguard, rosewood board and matching headstock, H-H pickup config, piezos. Essentially a 7-string JP with an AL body.

I'd like a Rising Sun graphic Axis Super Sport. Really. I'd probably sell a kidney.

7-string maple-board Silo, JP-trem and piezo, DD-paint. Yumm...

Silhouette HSH with tremelo, in this shade http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn116/mb99zz/NewColorSeaFoam.jpg. Maple board with non-matching head and white pickguard with contrasting black pups and knobs, with the JP tremelo arm. I would have a second pickguard, also in white, with a black EMG 85(b)/SA(m)/60 and black knobs.


Ultimate classy studio workhorse right there!

Edit: There's really not much custom to this

Left Handed Maple board Morse with Y2M setup.
Not particular of color, if it's an "imaginary" custom shop, I'll get a few of them.

 

[73h Nils]

7-String Koa JP, Gold hardware with Rosewood neck and Coco Bolo fretboard. One simple inlay at the 12th fret.

LOL! I guess my hunch is correct about that pickup set then? How's it sound?

wonderful. the 85 is everything the 81 is not. it has more bass and more bite but with rounded treble; always fat and full. the 81 is a bit more like a ****ty D-Sonic, with lots of mid and fizz.

the 60 sound like (sit down for this one) the bastard son of a p90 and a single coil... but a damn good one. it has tons of bass and treble and the clarity they promise is there. it's also the opposite of a 85 in the neck. it's so clear it sounds thin, if john petrucci played emgs, i dunno which bridge pup he'd use, but the 60 is a certain winner for the neck(meaning: you gotta play it and if u suck, it'll shows). it even does harmonics, a bit like an air norton. the SA is cool for pulling of the throttle and has an unusual sound when used together with a bucker, it seems to add mids, like a les paul or something.

besides that, it just kicks mucho ass.

but how come your getting an AL instead of a bucker guitar?

See, I love the 81 in the bridge on mahogany-bodied guitar, but I think with the more trebly Silhouette, the 85 might be the ticket. And I too LOVE what I have heard from the 60 in mahogany-bodied guitars, just wondering how it works in more stratty ones. Thanks!

Just encountered this thread....brilliant

And here's what I would go nuts about:

Reflex Doubleneck in Trans Grey on Spalted Maple
- upper neck > 12string / piezo only
- lower neck > 6string electric HH config w/ multi switching options and standard trem

all necks birdseye maple, rosewood fingerboard; matching headstock; locking tuners...
....and all hardware in black

YEEESSSSSSS!!!!

Funny how my tastes have changed since my '06 post. I now have an AL with BFR rosewood neck and 3 Duncans. I'd love a sister with solid IRW neck, or possibly a flamed roasted maple. It would need to be White Sparkle with pearloid guard, 3 X MM90s with white covers, gold hardware, trem and piezo.

Why is a rosewood fingerboard not an option on all Albert Lees? I showed Albert my '06 Limited (RW, black and gold) when we opened for him, and he'd never even seen a RW-board. He played it and liked it.

All pre-existing, pre-programmed...

Here we go...

Silhouette body
12 inch radius
Dimarzio D-Sonic in Bridge
Dimarzio Air Zone in Neck
Standard silhouette single in the middle
Hardtail

So not too custom... really, just a fingerboard radius difference and a pickup swap!

I did a similar thread some time ago.

Hindsight's a wonderful thing. Since then my ideal ball has changed. I've gone from an Axis Sport with Luke neck and HB,SC,SC to Luke BFR, to 25th with HB,SC,SC to AL with rosewood neck.

So for now it's potentially the latter although I'd still love a BFR Luke in tobacco burst, a sonic blue BFR Al with rosewood neck and the list goes on.
