I heard that... same situation here.<br />
Although, Mrs. Bebop insisted I acquire that 'mystery' AL we were discussing. I negotiated a better deal on it and it should be here before next weekend. I already have parts & plans to make it rock. <br />
We're 'creating' funds for the purchase by selling off other gear (non-EBMM) to more than cover the cost...<br />
Kind of a 'trade in - trade up' thing...<br />

That's excellent , congrats!!!! I hear you there I use to have a one in one out kind of thing, but the problem is I'm at the point that I don't want to part with anything, so it's were it's going to be for a very long time. <br />
<br />
Can't see what you have in store!!!<br />

<div class="bbWrapper">Facing the same problem, I used to sell "other, non-MM, things" to purchase AL's. <br />
Sadly, or not, I have reached a point where I no longer can or want to sell things. <br />
As the MM didn't get cheaper in the meantime I'm afraid I'll have to wait a lot looooooooooooonger between two AL purchases.</div>

Is it really a problem ? I have numerous guitars EBMM mostly I just realize I don't have enough time to enjoy them all. Yes GAS is still there and I almost pull the trigger for one new this morning but didn't cause I think all the guitar I have now can probably last longer than me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I play what I have and I am very happy with it. Sometimes changing string or PUPs is enough to rediscover a guitar. <br />

I guess my wisdom is now bigger than my GAS, which is a good thing for my wallet</div>

It is not a big problem indeed! I've got far more guitars than my modest abilities suggest. <br />
<br />
I also have every guitar I need to cover the music I love playing. Twice. And have found MY model in the AL.<br />
<br />
Yet, I'm afraid they'll eventually pull-out an "out-of this-world" AL BFR that I won't be able to afford <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> <br />
<br />
I might soon reach wisdom too. But my GAS is still a hair bigger than my wisdom. And MUCH BIGGER than my wallet!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi all. Have read through this whole thread over the last two evenings. I haven’t posted on this forum for many years, but I just acquired an EBMM Silo Special after not having an EBMM for several years. I was curious if anyone can describe the difference in neck shape between the Silo Special and the AL. I have played a couple of AL models in the past at a store, but do not really remember how the neck was shaped. The Silo is surprisingly comfortable considering that I typically prefer wide and fat necks and I am gassing for an AL, but there are none available locally for me to try. I’d like to start with a SSS with Trem model first.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">My first MM was a Silhouette Special. I couldn't honestly tell you how different it is from the AL neck. The AL is just a classic round C shape. It fits perfectly in hands and is really comfortable for long gigs. No doubt you'll love it. Main difference is the AL sounds and looks so much better than the Silo.</div>
