Sure....but not in the basement....I have a matching doghouse out back though....plenty of room for a large adult male. But, if I catch you squatting on my lawn...I have a large caliber rifle to quell any attempts at soiling my lawn..... 
Cost is 1 EBMM a month....so, to not start off behind on rent.....order up three now and I will see you February!

2. Axis SS in tobacco burst
3. Silo in teal

sure you can move in.....hands off the wife though
Ever tried to sell one ? The resale is terrible. I was in the new Long and McQuades "superstore" in Oshawa last week - and I asked the manager why they didn't have any EBMM guitars - only basses. His reply was that they can't sell EBMM guitars - so they won't even order them in for stock - only for a customers prepaid purchase.Raz said:

At least you guys in Upper Canada have some great music stores with reasonable prices. I live on the East Coast (PEI) and we haven't got a decent store anywhere. I buy my Ernie Ball strings by the dozen from an a store in Florida off of Ebay, and I pay less than half shipped to me than what I'd pay here. And just like was said, if it doesn't have Fender or Gibson on it, or only worth $150.00, forget it. One store here has a beautiful Axis with a natural quilt top, and I think they want $2699.00 for it. Sheesh.

Yeah, you can't imagine my joy when I purchased my SUB1 for under a 1000.00 CND.

It's like that here too. People think if it's not Fender, Gibson,or Ibanez, it's garbage. I wish guitar players would get a mind of their own!

Hi Jim - if you are ever in Toronto - the Twelth Fret has some sweet EBMMs - I like the Sil Special and Axis Super Sport here.

It must be a worldwide thing, EBMM are hard to find here in Melbourne Australia too, there's one store here, l'm sure they only stock Ibanez, cause they are slowly taking over the shop. But it's always the same in every store, Fender, Gibson and Ibanez, gee, I don't know why l'm surprised anymore.

I think if you want an EBMM - you have to do what I did. I saw a review of a Sil in a defunct magazine called Guitar Shop, and my interest in EBMMs was already there because Steve Morse was using them. I contacted EBMM to find a local retailer and ordered a Sil. I have never regretted it - fantastic guitar - no worries about not having played one.

You rarely see them in the stores here in the UK. All my new ones were custom orders. People need to open their eyes and stop buying the evil F-Word!
I went down to Denmark Street in London a few weeks ago and asked in every store that didn't have any EBMMs (which was ALL OF EM) why that was and got pretty much no believable reason.
Then I went to Sound Control over on Tottenham Court Road (still no EBMMs) and was told that it's because nobody knows enough about them. Nobody asks about them (except me it would seem) so they have no reason to stock them.

It really makes sense though, I have always felt that the norm, or mainstream, just like music and culture, as always, appears to favour popularity as opposed to quality...so I am not surprised

*LOVE* the 12th fret! Years ago I took their build-your-own-guitar course. Built a "strat" from scratch including neck, trussrod, fretwork, etc. Their work is second to none- I won't let anyone else work on my guitars! Those guys absolutely rock.
BTW- Steve's Music in Toronto also stocks EBMMs.
