I joined this forum November last year. I had no EBMMs back then. Today, 200 posts and three months later, I have two EBMM guitars. That's one EBMM for every 100 posts...or one every six weeks. Man, I have to stay away from this forum or I'll go bankrupt. You lot are a bad influence on me. ;) (I really don't mind...but I suspect my wife is beginning to worry! :D )

To celebrate my 200th post, I thought I'd share a picture of my two EBMMs:

And here's a picture of the "family". Okay...so my collection is quite humble compared to what many of you have, it's potentially embarrassing, and I only have two EBMMs. But here we go...

thefamily.jpg

Back row: Ibanez Axstar AXB50 bass (1985), Washburn Taurus T25 bass (2004), Takamine F385 12-string (1983), Ovation Ultra 1512 (1984?)
Front row: Guyatone "Custom" (heavily and badly mod-ed) (1980), Ibanez Roadstar II RS530 (1985), The Dargie (2007), The BFR (2007), Ibanez AK95 (2007), Yamaha FG-336SB (1980)

Guess which are my 2 favourites?! ;)

I did some research yesterday, and it seems that Polar White was only available on the RS530 in 1985. I remember that at the time, I had the choice of white, white or, um, white. I was too young and too inexperienced to ask the store to source me another colour (like the trans marine blue you have). (I just love that EBMM provides so many colour options!)

Yes..I should probably wait a bit before I buy the next one...but the addiction is too strong...I need another one! (There is a little person dressed in red, with a pitch-fork, horns and a goatie beard, sitting on my shoulder, and whispering, "Go on, it's alright, order another EBMM, it's the right thing to do...")
