Let's not confuse action and feel. FWIW, different radii and neck widths at the heel have a lot to do with how people will prefer one over another. Different body size will change our perception a little too, IMHO, because the instruments sits/hangs a little differently relative to (your) body.

amazon has these auto metrics and the prices move around all the time. the 25ths didnt sell well either and they were quilted....actually what would help is a huge famous guitarist playing one live...there are a bunch in the studio racks that I cant talk about but very very big artists.....

OK BP,
I will take one for the team and play one live; just for you. LOL !

If action is low though doesn't it feel better :D Anyways I just noticed the neck radius of the reflex is a 12 and the axis is a 10 considering that is so minimal i doubt that's what I'm feeling. I still ponder it has something to do with the engineering design of this guitar verses the axis. This guitar feels more shredder to me than the axis. Anyways not a big deal right... they're great guitars, but I'll take this one anyday over the axis! uh oh here come the tomatoes.

Gosh, I love the 25th so much that I bought two. I would have bought a third the other day at GC if it were a hardtail/rosewood--not a trem/rosewood like one of the ones I already have.

My 25th is hands down the best guitar I've ever owned. Better than the other 5 Balls I had prior and certainly the best of my current 4 electrics. I'd love a black/maple/trem Reflex.....total ROCKER.

I gave up on my lifetime dream guitar... Les Paul... to get my Reflex, because I knew it was a better guitar.

These prices are no mistake. Amazon changes prices on items that don't sell and then as soon as one sells they bump the price up. If you are looking for a smokin deal on an EBMM check amazon every day and hope your the first guy to jump on the ridiculous price. Look for the guitars where you have to see the price in cart. Those are where the deals are at. Like I said I know a guy that save about $600 on a JP6 and about $500 on a JP7 that way. If you have the cash ready to go you can find some steals.

I Have 2 or 3 Guitars i bought on Amazon over the years. My HH Surf Green AL came in the Original shipping box from EBMM to Amazon, with Amazons original invoice, and the price i paid was almost $300 less than that invoice said amazon had paid. mine was sub $1000 none of the others were over $1250. I'm not a wonderful electric guitar player, but i've got the coolest 25.5" 6 string I've every seen. That was April 1st 2011 they had one in every color at similar price points. I bought the Mint Green on and posted the others on the forum. I think most people thought it was a joke.

Those are sick prices for a new EBMM!!! Just echoing others - my 25th is the most versatile guitar I've ever played. The reflex can cover so much ground and the chambering helps gives an airiness to its voice.
