Question for BP regarding your favorite tops

[tonelover]

Just wondering if there are any special flame tops that stick out in your mind as favorites over the years, or have you just seen so many great ones that it's all a blur now?

No I never ever get bored looking at fine figured wood....its like art...beautiful cars...you know the rest...I cannot think of a favorite though

your 25th Anniversary is pretty amazing in the top department, I got to have an up close look at recently ;0

Ha...this place is awesome. Someone asks BP a cool question and less than 2 hours later it is answered. Love it.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Ok so I know it's a question aimed at BP.
So I guess i'm taking a bit of a liberty answering here !!

I'm a lover of solid colours / burst - but I loved Dave Mark's bass

take a look at the photo of his bass in this thread

That Roasted Maple Top Axis that BP was playing in that thread (http://forums.ernieball.com/music-man-guitars/39837-torture.html#top) is the one that I have shown in this thread (http://forums.ernieball.com/music-man-guitars/47482-pics-philly-guitar-show-2.html#post785235).

If you look closely, exactly same body. After the BP photo, the neck was swapped out for a Roasted Maple neck (ebony fingerboard) and gold hardware. And it lives in my vault now!

Thanks BP and Derek! That is probably one of my most prized EBMM's in my collection. And it's definitely the most beautiful (and I have some nice Balls, so that's saying a lot).

[Warg Master]

Mmmmm... I love these guitars!

YOU DOG!!!! VOMIT - PUKE - HURL

Oh, how I wanted that guitar in the worst possible way!!!

Vault ?? Do you play or just collect??

 

[Dr.Strangenote]

Jeff let me pick it up out of it's stand that day, of course he was right there next to me as I felt the weight and balance on it. Lovely, just lovely guitar there. He's a good guy. I think him and BP are competing on who has the better vault. LOL!

Hey Tommydude: Nah, man. I play! But that one is too amazing and too rare and too amazing and too rare to be knocking around in my studio or, even worse, gigging with! I take it out maybe once a month and play it (just to keep it happy).

​

 

[tommydude]

As long as your play it, that is OK.

Send me a PM whenever you want to sell some Axis guitars!

 

[Big Poppa]

Tommy he actually gets to do what he wants! hahahahaha There are no guitar police here!

 

[dibart77]

There are no guitar police here!

Actually, BP, my wife is the chief of the guitar police!
