Question Discontinued guitar question

[littleneil]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post, having been a member and infrequent browser for a long time!! (and an EBMM owner for longer than that!)

I have a quick question... what kind of window is there between the announcement that an instrument/colour will be discontinued by the good folks at EBMM and the final order being taken for that guitar?

I don't want to seem like a kiss ASS [ ] but I'm continually impressed by the sense of family and friendship on this forum generated by the players and EBMM staff!

Thanks,

LittleNeil

usually, when they announce they are discontinuing a color, they announce the cut off date as well. it's a good idea to order it a little sooner, lest your order get delayed or lost between the retailer and the distributor.

Thanks for your response Dante!!

where do you look to find out when they will discontinue a color or when they will introduce one back?

I'm finding that EBMM does make some number of "one-offs". I came across a burnt apple Axis (floyd) with a factory tone knob (different location than an ASS) recently. I'm on the fence about buying it (expensive) but it was very neat coming across it in a music shop last week.

You keep your eye open here. Namm is in January and they usually post from Namm when they can, pictures and info.
