I decided I need to own another EBMM sooner rather than later. They are a bit hard to find around here, so I have researched and compared and graphed and read and plotted...ad infinitum, on the internet.
Things I like:
- wider fretboard
- flatter fretboard
- rosewood or ebony
- lots of frets
- stratlike body shape
- arm/belly contours
Finally I decided that the JP6 was calling my name...
...a coworker tells me that the Scottsdale GC tends to have some EBMM guitars in stock, so I went at lunch yesterday, and had hands-on time with a JP6, ASS and Luke.
<I'll skip to the end here>
Over and over and over, back and forth, A to B to C...and I gotta' tell you, that Axis SS called me back to it every time I picked up one of the others.
I guess the moral of the story is something about playing them in person, or trusting your hands and ears, or not putting your eggs in a stitch in time.
So now I'm on the hunt for something I would not have expected.
The End
