Bongoist with some EBMM guitar ?'s

[MingusBASS]

So I love my Bongos but I've decided I need to add an EBMM guitar to my roster. All of the guitars look sweet but I have no clue how they all play/sound. I was wondering if there are non-EBMM guitars that you could compare the EBMM guitars to? I would guess that the Silhouette is similar to a Strat? Perhaps the Axis is similar to a Les Paul? As you can tell, I am clueless when it comes to the fine guitars of EBMM.

I will say that I have my eyes on a few models:

The Steve Morse Y2D

The Luke

and

The JP

I'm wondering which neck is widest/thickest?

I need your help guys!

thanks

I'd say the Petrucci neck is the widest and thinnest.

The Luke neck is skinny and has a 'v' shape in the back.

The Morse Y2D is in between them. It's a really comfortable neck profile. A bit skinnier and thicker than the Petrucci.

To clarify my terminology, I'm using skinny and wide to describe the width of the fretboard as measured from the high string edge to the low string edge.

I'm using thick and thin to describe the depth of the neck, as measured from the top of the fretboard to the back of the neck.

Hope this helps a little.

The Luke is the only EBMM guitar (as fas as I know) that uses active EMG pickups. The other models use passive pickups, and I think they're mostly DiMarzio.

Thanks Steve! That helps me out a bit. Anything you could tell me about how they sound or would compare with other guitars?
