And...the most all-around ebmm electric guitar is??

[Sub1 Zero]

Honestly I think every guitar they make is versatile as hell. But, it's going to come down to the Silo, Silo Special Axis SS, or a Morse. Maybe a Luke...

Including classical, bluegrass and hip hop?


Versatility is relative ... what kind of music does he like? Easier to figure out which one suits his style if we know he likes blues, prog-rock, jazz, etc.

Style aside, the suitability of a guitar has a lot more to do with feel (neck size, body size, fret height) and features than what genre it will be used to play.

Take him to a store with a few different EBMMs in stock and let him go nuts

hip hop?

Luke (or a Silo Special HSS if the Luke neck profile and EMGs aren't his thing)

I have some news for you people
After testing luke, morse,silo and jp (they had not any axis for testing), he made his decision

He ordered a full jp6 mystic dream...He told me when he laid hands on the jp full loaded model didnt want to leave it .He was thrilled!!In fact he paid 80 euros extra so that the guitar would arrive a bit earlier(is this possible or they guitar shop guy fooled him) .

Thank you all for your directions, mission accomplished!!

And there ya go. Function and beauty are in the eyes, ears and hands of the beholder. Cool!

silo special HSS. it does the neck single coil thang better than the Luke and the Morse and Silhouette, and has that extra position to use ( a 2nd bridge/middle split), so its a 6 way. cannot get more versatile than that.

SSH Silo Special for versatility... I really LOVE my JP6, though.

I'm a big silo special fan. In my opinion the best guitar ANYONE makes, period.

Probably the HSH Silo with piezo.
