Had to send guitar back

[bigfishcatcher]

I want to thank each of you for trying to help me setup the blue axis super sport. I worked on it for hours and just never got it the way I needed it.

I broke my left ring finger in Jr. high school (playing basketball) and the coach just taped the finger to my pinkie. So now I am always doing the spok live long and prosper sign. So that is why I need the lowest action I can get away with.

I realized that the only way to get the guitar the way it would work for me was to put a 1/8 or 3/16 piece of wood between the body and neck. And I just did not feel that was something I should have to do after dropping 3K on a guitar.

It was the best looking and best tone guitar I have ever touched. And I really miss it. Not sure if I will own a Music Man or not now.

Thanks to all
God Bless

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Neck shims are not unusual on bolt-on guitars at any price point. None of my EBMMs have needed them to get low action, but I've owned quite a few other guitars over the years that did, including some of my current ones. It's not really a big deal, but at the same time, with that kind of investment, you need to be completely happy with it.

Wouldn't write off all EBMM guitars because of one bad experience.... just sayin'....

Money thing not that I don't really want one.
