Academy of Country Music Awards- OPENS WITH EBMM

[Big Poppa]

Brad is a friend. There are zero discussions regarding a signature guitar. He asked us to make it and we said yes....

 

[DrGonzo5150]

Looks and sounds awesome! Haha so cool.

 

[Sticky1973]

Sterling, any info on the pickups on that one?

Sounds terrific.

 

[Guitarburetor]

Music Man MM-90 in the neck and a DiMarzio Twang King in the bridge.

 

[Sticky1973]

Awesome, thanks!

Made my day this thread, really has.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Yup I saw the double neck too.

I think the "Paisley Axis" may have a B bender too? - judging from the way the guitar strap is attached - and I bleeb there was some "bender" action going on initially?

 

[Sticky1973]

Could be a G Bender. Think Brad favours them.

Detail mere detail lol

 

[Sticky1973]

Sorry spud, wasn't trying to be being pedantic!

With a capo at the 4th, it'd be a B Bender

 

[Spudmurphy]

Nah man - I could do with some cheering up right now - and banter like this on the forum is pressing the right buttons.

I was almost gonna get me a Tele with a Bender - then I discovered EB guitars - and the rest are history

Love the guitar, hated the finish, it just looks stupid. It's Brad's trademark so it's ok for him, but otherwise...
The Tele bridge is too cool, twang bite for sure. With a P-90 to boot. Now we know what Brad would like in his custom guitar.

 

[Sticky1973]

Really? I love the finish, it's looks to have a real modern James Burton vibe, and rocked by Brad.

All sorts of mods going round in my head right now. Fishman Powerbridge and a pink paisley finish......

 

[browndog]

I have a lot of paisley ties so I like the finish.

I wonder who did the paint?

 

[Norrin Radd]

Drool! That thing is f'ing awesome!!! Finish is fantastic.

You know, I've been having serious Tele Gas lately but I want to stick to EBMM. Maybe mod time is in order.........

Kudos to EBMM. The "he's a friend" thing says a lot about this company. I'm sure Brad appreciates it. I know he lost a ton of guitars in the flood. Nice of EBMM to help him get the collection part going again.

Dang, wheels are a turnin'.....

 

[Sticky1973]

So much in the same boat Greg; much potential in the Axis as a twang vehicle.

Let the mods begin.................

I'm actually sitting on a set of Area T tele pickups and a stainless steel bridge. All I need is a body to throw them on......time to start scrounging for an Axis SS with MM90s!

Love it! Kinda similar over here, just need to find some donor parts too.

I keep watching the Brad video. Really love that Brad is rocking an Axis (Super?) Sport with such a great country tone.

Greg, you have looked in the for sale thread right?

A beautiful BFR ASS w/mm90s is there.

I saw that. A bit too fancy for what I'm after. I'd prefer a beater I can mod without fear! Plus, for this I definitely want a maple neck. But thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated.

 

[Sticky1973]

.... I'd prefer a beater I can mod without fear....

I feel your pain. So hard to find an EBMM that can be modded without guilt.

They're all so well looked after! Grrrr.
