Do ALs, Axes, and ASS have more birdseye?

[roburado]

It seems to me that the Axis series and the AL have more birdseye than the rest. True? Untrue?

 

[robelinda2]

in the past I've noticed the same, but these days not many guitars come with any birdseye at all. More figured neck woods than birdseye.

 

[roburado]

Yeah. it's a shame that there isn't more birdseye out there.

 

[robelinda2]

some of the DD's that have been shown here have had some nice birdseye, and a lot of Luke's have bee diseased with birdseye in the past too, but the wood itself is quite rare now isnt it?

love this one

 

[Wide'Iwas]

Interesting ideas here my DD al ha nice birds eye and some good flames I am so happy .......

Are you saying I am very lucky?

[Larry]

Mine is pretty diseased as well.

GOD i love birdseye on the neck!! I hope my JP comes with a fair share of it (keep my fingers crossed)

That neck is just astonishing. Too bad the deal surrounding that transaction was just so shady.

I think EBMM use it when they can get hold of it.

 

[jagged]

would there be more preference given to say.... LE models?

 

[andynpeters]

My '99 SS has lots of it on the back of the neck, the '03 has none.
Why is it thought desirable?

 

[kompressaur]

because its just so pretty.what you want is birdseye,flame and heavy figure lines all in the same neck

If you say so Komp.....can't say I spend too long drooling over the back of guitar necks.

Well after looking all the EBMM`s I own the AL has the most but it also has a maple fretbord,
the 20th has its fair share and the Luke has the least, so I think it is a crap shoot whatever is available when the guitar is made.

I personally like watching the birds "wink" at me while I play

Here's the back of one of my Petrucci's

 

[King Hazel!]

As a strictly Silo man, I'm bothered by the lack of birdseye on the Silo necks! Someone outta show more love 2 the neck on that darn guitar! Or maybe I'll have to start drawing dots on my necks like kids did on their faces back in in the day to fake having the measles!

 

[Sub1 Zero]

Amen bro, I don't see many Silo's with birdseye necks

Ahh well, as long as it plays awesome

 

[fogman]

I believe there was a bunch of birdseye hoopla a while back since some people nearly demand it because they spend so much!
I seem to recall BP saying that the woods that have birdseye are usually separated and reserved for the guitar with a higher premium. But it's no guarantee since there is only so much to go around.
The 20th Silo is one of these lucky guitars, and I believe the Albert as well.
Today Dave's Dargie Al had some whereas my Silo has none.
Am I going to cry about it. Absolutely not. It doesn't really matter to me.
