and to think I had nothing on the horizon gearwise this year!!! I may finally pop for a bass after all!
Dang. And here I decided not to go to NAMM this year. I bought a Squier Classic Vibe strat as a backup to my Silhouette Special a few months back because I couldn't afford another Silhouette. The Squier is ok but I can't get with the neck and to me the silo neck is king.
These look good and here's hoping for a Sterling by Music Man Silhouette Special!!

we have to remember that many people for whatever reason would love to own a Music Man but can't. I never carried OLP but this is exciting for many reasons and one of those reasons is those people that wanted to get into MM but couldn't now can. The name is great I personally will be ordering many... Nice job BP.

- I'm personally delighted abou this whole Sterling line, 09 is gonna be a poop storm for alot of people in the UK (and probably everywhere) -so not having to find a couple of thousand this year to buy a new ball means I could maybe get 1 or 2 Sterlings without breaking the bank, Pretty good timing and clever to boot!

The photos sure look cool. Can't wait to check out the JP50 & Silo20. Do the numbers mean anything?

The numbers equate to how many of each you have to buy in a 12 month period!

When will these be available in the UK? It was the OLP Axis that made Mrs OLPlayer buy me an EBMM Axis SS. I'm hoping that if I buy a "Sterling" Silo, the same will happen!!!
They all look cool and I'm sure Mrs OLPlayer will be buying a Ray 34 when they go on sale.

So, I've had a few days to soak this in and get some crazy ideas in my head... here goes. LOL
Silo Special would be awesome... Strat tones with a much cooler looking guitar. lol
The JP50... I could go on all day with this one. The biggest thing that excites me is that I can get this and play with pickup configurations and get an idea how close I can get things to sound like I have in my head, without buying a MM JP6 and never having the nerve to change something out that I don't really know how it will work. Granted, pickups isn't a big deal... don't like them, put the originals back in, but unless I really know I want it, I don't want to alter a guitar that is otherwise perfect, and the change is really not because of disliking the original version but checking out what could be done if I had multiple instruments. So, I see one of these in my future... if the price is right, multiple. Hopefully some cool plain jane colors will be offered that I wouldn't normally get so I can get some variety going in my life. LOL
The basses are where I get really interested. I'm guessing it wouldn't be too hard to find some MM pickups on the bay or somewhere... I LOVE the MM bass sounds. But, I'm a guitar player and thousand dollar basses aren't in my budget. I liked the OLPs, but these actually have me Gassing and not just thinking they are nice for someone else. If a six string is ever offered... I'll faint. LOL
So, there's my little narcissistic pointless post of the day. I thought someone might get a laugh out of my continued adolescent love of all things EB guitar related. lol

Very much looking forward to these guitars, with the prices going up everywhere it will be a good thing to have the opportunity to purchase a great quality guitar at an affordable price, all the Sub's I ever played were fantastic.

Is it wrong to ask what other guitars the Park family builds?
These look really nice.

Maybe he means that by slamming it because of the name you are burning his ASS so to speak... I'm sure he will clarify if he so desires.
Me? well I'm just happy to have another opportunity to get a mid-level line in the store that is quality, and that I have the ability to help out more knuckleheads and some local yocals

From my brief talk today with the guys at Sterling by MM, these will be VERY affordable, and priced near where the SUBs were. It makes me want to stock a LOT of them...
More details after NAMM, so I don't step on any pre-release toes!
