Think about all the innovations that EBMM uses on their guitars.
Think about how sooner or later most high end guitar manufacturers implement them on their own designs.
The things I absolutely love about the way you guys make guitars are:
1) The heel design. So many high end makers are swaying away from the traditional strat design only to make knock-offs of the EBMM design. It is almost perfect in that it allows from easy access while keeping the heel thick at the most important contact point on the guitar. Absolutely brilliant.
2) The 5 hole neck attachment. No shifting. what more to say about this one? It is even aesthetically done well by making it 5 and not 6 hole. Whoever thought of that one I would really like to know. That is a small detail that goes a long way. Most would have just thought " duh, just make 6 screws" But putting 5 instead makes it so much more pleasing to the eye.
3) The unfinished neck. Amazing. Has won players over and over again. EBMM also has no problems with warped necks to compliment this. I cant say enough about how awesome this feels and SOUNDS as well. Thicker and warmer.
4) The headstock design. Has better string pull.
5) Last but not least the spoke truss rod wheel. Who in the heck developed this???! It is one of the most awesome ideas ever! Practical AND looks good too! killer
6) Use of the Gotoh trem. Not an innovation but EBMM started using these WAAAY before everyone else found out they are better than OFR.
Now.......yeah there is a "but" here and some may start flaming me. Whatever. I always believe in improvements no matter what. It is what keeps a amazing product amazing. So flame away guys if you want. lol
I would love it if EBMM implemented all this into a guitar but had a few plane jane specs as well.
this is what I would call an ALL Around Player for EBMM.
Kinda like a Silo Deluxe or something like that.
Such as:
1) Plain silo shaped body with Basswood and maple top.
2) 1.650 nut spec. It is more acceptable for most players than 1 5/8
3) Slightly wider neck than the Axis, same as nut width I mentioned above. Kinda like the Silo specs or what EBMM referenced for the 25th ann.
4) Floyded guitar without neck angle. Block it at the trem block so you can adjust the action without shimming the neck. You can have it slightly recessed to avoid angling the neck and to look awesome.
5) NO pickguard or with doesnt matter
6) 22 Fret
7) it can come in birdseye maple neck, or birdseye with rosewood.
So it would be a super strat Silo or something like that.
Something that is simple and all out rocking for all!
The thing that would be so killer about this guitar is that it would have alot of "plain" features that alot of guitars have out there ( cause alot of players want this kind of guitar) BUT it would all be about that EBMM vibe that is lacking from all those guitars. And that is all in points 1-6 that I listed before.
killer just killer.
I am still waiting for EBMM to do this model.
Everyone else is, but cant get it right like EBMM.
