<div class="bbWrapper">I don't understand the point of this thread, considering it was apparently an issue for some of us a year ago when they announced the axe. Would you not buy a Silo or Silo special because Benji played one? I doubt it. It's not like a pox on the instrument, he just dig's em and proved that they hold up on the rigors of the road. He's a kid like the rest of us who dig EBMM's, he's used them for quite sometime and while I might not dig his band, but you've gotta give props to a guy who has impeccable taste in instruments, regardless if his general audience isn't made up of virtuosos.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused :confused:" data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Sorry guys I've given the wrong message. I'm probably writing too much and then confused both myself and everyone.<br />
<br />
You get the chance to have your very own Musicman<br />
You have the chance to build ONE guitar that will have your signiture on it.<br />
The guitar manufacturer is Ernie Ball Musicman.<br />
You can spec it in whatever way you want.<br />
Therefore, spec it so it can play everything.<br />
<br />
I'm just bringing up the fact that if I had a choice of guitar that I can spec for everything, I will build one that is versitile to the extreme.<br />
<br />
In no way were my posts supposed to dig at BM, Good Charlotte or Musicman. Just questionning the reason behind the specs that BM chose. I could play Good Charlotte stuff on my Silouette (even though it's not my kinda thing) and then flick the pickup for whatever. Hopefully I've kind of cleared up the mess I made.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Does anyone hear the dead horse winnying? No? Put a fork in it, this one is done. <br />
<br />
Benji has a signature guitar. Great.<br />
It is a EBMM....Really Great.<br />
<br />
Enough said. I think as a company decision, it was a good one. Personally, I don't care. I don't own stock in EBMM (well, sort of, I do own their guitars) but I do not have the right to question their decisions.<br />
<br />
BM, he got what he wanted. If he decides to change, I am sure EBMM will oblige him. <br />

Far be it from me to compare EVH and Benji Madden, but no-one seemed to mind when EVH was using a single pickup guitar - he made some half decent music with one pickup (going for the understatement there). Although not one of my fave players, a signature guitar is just that - exactly what the artist needs- so the BM sig is justified

Thats true, but l ain't buying it, l like a bit of versitility in my guitars, l hate swapping guitars at gigs, l like to stick to one guitar. If it works for them thats cool, but when Eddie released those Charvels, and the price of those damn things, no way man.<br />

<div class="bbWrapper">What I have been saying is this...Benji had a chance to have a signature guitar. He was already playing Silos before he was signed. For what he does, all he wanted and needed was a single humbucker in the bridge position...What is so wrong with that. For what he plays, it's perfect. If I ever got a signature guitar, I might have only the neck p/up. For what I do it's all I need. I never use the bridge p/up, so why have it there? Benji didn't ask for this guitar to make you happy. I am sorry it doesn't fit everybodys ideal of what a guitar should be, but that's why we make others.<br />

This thread is getting really old, and I bleeb I'm gonna close it.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">That was kinda my point as well, it doesn't do nothing for me, either does EVH's one pickup guitar, but it's all cool, but l thought you were gonna close this one up, go ahead and do it, this topic is getting old, and l don't think anyone cares anymore, l'm just posting this message cause l have nothing to do at work, and l'm bored.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
