THERE IS NO CUSTOM SHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
That guitar is a Benji model before there was a Benji model. The only difference is that this one has a Silo Sp neck and it doesnt have the inlay at the 12th fret like the Benji production model.

So its a fake!!!!! Dang, thanks Jon you are the best...I'm calling him out, this cannot be tolerated!
I hope that EB stay without a "custom shop" aswell.
almost all MM guitars I have played are lightyears beyond anything the big 3 can make in a "custom shop"
We all know that an inlaid fretboard sounds better right
I actually find it patronising,and it only makes me question the quality of the "standard models" you don't usually get the level of fret work like MM and a customer service like this without paying through the nose to other companies,I mean posting questions to the guy who builds Petrucci's and Albert lee's guitars(!)
I love MM!
End inapropriate rant on custom shop's...

Oh, oh...I may have goofed then...here's his response:
We all have connections, and semantics abound. One cannot order this guitar anywhere. Therefore it's not a production guitar; therefore it's a custom guitar. "Custom shop" is (and has been for some time in the guitar market) a descriptive term as well as a literal location.
You are welcome to bid on my guitar, Paolo.
Have a nice day.

IMHO, every Ernie Ball is a "custom shop" guitar. Built with love and care by people
like jongitarz, for people like us. God bless America, and God bless Ernie Ball!

Actually Jon...I disagree...you do have a "Custom Shop". Every EBMM that is made is custom! No other guitar manufacturer can match your line of guitars unless they come from their "Custom Shop". Hence, they had to have a super special shop, charge out the tailpipe, just to keep up with you! Sounds Custom to me...hehehehehehehehehe.........You guys/gals soooooo rule.....

EBMM IS a custom shop! You can order one exactly to your liking, and get it (as long as it falls into play with the set boundaries for each model). Even at that, if you pulled one right off the shelf it would fit you well. So, it's a custom shop as well.
You buy an EBMM, you are buying the quality craftsmanship and materials that other guitar companies save for THEIR custom shops, instead of the POS's that they churn out quicker than Ashtray Simpson can point a finger at someone.
Raz, does that help to clear things up? (Sheesh, always having to keep you guys on the up and up...)

You said it better than me,but that's what I meant.
Also you are paying for design features that should be made the standard for other companies,like Bolt on's having a 5 screw sculpted heel and the silent circuit.

A neckplate that let's everyone know you paid 500 extra
Probably has a Nice top as well

Those neck plates go on the guitars with the upgraded tops. The neck plate and the tops are the only difference from the others. And the are made exactly the same way and in the same departments as the regular instruments. THERE IS NO CUSTOM SHOP!
