try hanging with Amy Winehouse, she's hell bent on it!!
Poor Amy
This girl was full of knack but drugs destroyed her
She needs help and sarcasms (and papparazi) will not help her. Remember, she's just 25 ...
I hope she will recover.

Wow, these look great! I've been dying for a Silo, but don't have the quid so this may just be the ticket. What options will be available for each model (guitars mostly - not really interested in a bass)?

This may be my entry point into the Silo and the Axis BEFORE I can clear the purchase of the ACTUAL Axis and Silo with my Chief Financial Officer!
They look pretty cool to me and with the QA being watched over by the EBMM gang, how could you go wrong?

the petrucci model seems to be better well build than the olp one...
I've got an axis LE 2007 and a luke and i need a third guitar tuned in D so it will probably be the JP50. The trem seems to be better than the OLP version and the cavity under it seems to be better finished... Hope it's sound good and comfortable to play.
How about the neck, will it be the same shape as the petrucci MM ?

Go to Sterling by MUSIC MAN and download their brochure. Not many options available for each model as yet......and nothing yet for us lefties. Shame....I quite fancy a Sterling Sterling!!!

On the last page of the brochure it says "PRAXIS MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS CO".
Want to echo a question; Are the neckplates on Sterling guitars 5 bolt like EBMM guitars? I think I remember seeing a pic earlier of a prototype at NAMM that had a 5 bolt neckplate. And in one pic above, behind the AX40, is one that has a 5 bolt neckplate. Looks like they are.

The neck on the JP50 is thin and flat. While it is not exactly like the MMJP, it is very close. The nut width is 42mm on the JP50, which is ever so slightly narrower than on the MMJP. It was very comfortable to play...

Pete, since you played one, are the necks finished or not?
Lionel, I know many that are thinking the exact same thing man!!!
Not me though.

the necks are finished in a very thin satin acrylic coating. it still feels like raw wood, but protects the neck.
we wanted to do the oil/wax treatment, but felt that the satin finish was the better way to go for us. The guitars, being made in Indonesia will travel thru some different climates and the acrylic finish seemed like safer choice for us.

The JP50 does have a thinner profile than the rest of the guitars in this line up. Its an even taper. Its got a slight U profile, and is thin!
the AX20, AX40 and Silo 20 use the asymetrical carve. It feels great and is very comfortable.
I hop on a plane tomorrow morning for Indonesia to supervise the first round of production.

Pat, I was pleasantly surprised by the asymmetrical neck on the Silhouette, and I can't wait to get our first batch. Have a good flight!

Thanks Pete. It's a long flight but worth it. I get to hang in a guitar factory with a lot of these guitars. Can't wait.

Hello Pat and all at EBMM. First and foremost thank you for taking the time to post all this info. I don't want to seem ungratefull by any means but I was just wondering if there is goint to be any Silo Special type Sterling guitar? The reason I ask is because the SS is by far FOR ME, the most confortable, most versatile guitar ever made.
Thanks
Thanks
