Hey Jon -
Here's some neck things I've wondered about for a while, since we all know how great the EBMM necks feel, that they come in different carves, and many of us have heard the story about how you guys digitized the neck for what became the EVH/Axis.
Questions are:
1) Are the other necks on MM's guitars digitized from the pet instruments of an artist (like one of Albert Lee's Teles or Lukather's vintage v-necked Strats), or from a particularly good feeling existing instrument in the case of non-artist affiliated guitars like the Silo?
2) If not, were they carved by hand and passed around to get a consensus on what felt good to the most people, or....? If a particular model's neck design was originally hand carved by EBMM, who do we have to thank for doing the great job?
3) What would be good general relative descriptions of one neck vs. another? For instance, I've been told by one of the EBMM customer service guys that the AL neck carve is very similar to the Silo, but still different...
I know there's a lot of "proprietary information" legalistic non-disclosure mumbo jumbo that might prevent the fully detailed answers we'd want to see here, but if not it would be great to get some kind of background on those great necks, esp. for those unlucky individuals in remote places where they can only sample an MM guitar model or two at a time.
Thanks!
