The most rare EBMM??

[Slingy]

Also I have these two pretty rare combinations.

For me the most rare EBMM is Steve Morse #1 guitar.
You can buy expansive, expansive inlays, but you cannot buy the fact that Steve played on so many albums with his trusty #1 and played so many shows with it.
Fender can fake the wear of a guitar with his relic guitars but it will never be the same.
For me Steve #1 is as iconic than Rory Gallagher 1961 Strat.

Gotta agree - it's the first one producted and he still uses it like crazy (saw him in June)...although there are pics of SM sig prototypes I've seen here...

 

[fbecir]

By the way, if I remember well what I learned a long time ago at school, shouldn't you say "the rarest EBMM" and not "the most rare EBMM" ???

François, you might possibly be technically correct. In English we often accept 'common usage' as acceptable too, so either version works. When I moved to France I fully understood just how ignorant English speakers are of the rules and grammar of their own language. Which is partly why it can be such a rich and fluid language but also why so many of us misuse things their/there/they're and it/it's and why we have such rich and interesting discussions about it all.

For what it's worth, I wouldn't say Morses #1 is rare. It's special, historic, unique perhaps, but it's still just a early standard model Morse, even if it was the first one and even if he did take an angle grinder to the heel.

That Dargie II Gold Roller Silhouette with the roasted maple neck is quite stunning!

Around Boston, we'd say that the guitar is "wicked rare".

.....then the dogs would all bahk at the cahs and we'd throw tea in the hahbah.

The Morse #1 to me is very iconic. I read somewhere Steve's wife used Finger Nail polish of simular colour to fix the scuffs & scratches on the Morse #1 , Very Cool !
I think I read here somewhere that Big Poppa gave Morse #2 to Steve recently as well.

Still my absolute favourite. It's so damn classy and that TONE!

Definitely!! I soo wish EBMM would release such a model with those pickups.. would be like having a JP-styled guitar but more of a Jazz-tone

Also I have these two pretty rare combinations.

I like this one and I allowed me to use it in my avatar to get a green avatar in honour of MBGreene (had my blue one as avatar before in the same way)

 

[dfrady]

I like my one off AL HH

 

[peterd79]

i would love to get my hands on the morse colored 25th... that's beyond beautiful

 

[Oh3AreSicks]

I take any opportunity I can get to post this damn guitar.
I feel it is in the relatively rare category... :-D

The guitar in my avatar is pretty rare. As far as I know, it's the only BFR Luke (mahog tone block, maple top) that also has a BFR rosewood neck.

I've saw that Greenish JP, and it was maybe one of the first of the newer JP models after bfr was introduced with the no cutaway, and no bfr logo. I though: "Finally they did it as I always wanted to be". I never liked the cutaway on the old models, because I'm not that kind of a guy who puts the arm and leaves it there on the body. I really like Steve Morse plays and other classical guitarists, because I did studied classical music when I was a kid and it just grew on my style of playing electric guitar. Now enough about myself and my opinion, that top is stunning!

 

[BrickGlass]

If I could get my grubby paws on something in this thread it would be the following guitar, and I would even trade my Blue Dawn HSS Albert Lee for it:

That is the best looking SM I think I've ever seen. If only it had stayed that way I would own one right now.

 

[dannymusic]

i played a GC exclusive LUKe BFR w/PIEZO. bahama blue flame front and sparkle blue back. Called the next day and it was gone. Never seen one again.

 

[GWDavis28]

Danny, MikeVT has one and a few others here do as well.

Wow a lot of really cool guitars that I have never seen before. The Global Warming ax is another masterfully done tongue in cheek creation like Mr Horsepower that just works when it shouldn't. Who owns that one -Nigel Tufnel lol. For me though there is just something about the neck on Sterlings Dargie Roller that makes me want to get my hands around it.

The first guitar in his collection......roasted neck, roasted top Axis. 1 of 1 prototype that was never made into production.
