Just to say hello.... and more

[EddieVanZ]

Hi everybody, as this is my first post I would just like to
1) say hello to everybody from Italy
2) sorry in advance for typos/grammatical errors (English is not my mother tongue)
Well, I'm a proud owner of a red EVH EBMM Model, bought second-handed. It was an ex-demo from MusikMesse in Frankfurt, or so I was told.
I recently got it fixed from a luthier near where I live, as it wasn't almost played in 4-5 years for various reasons (marriage, band split).
Now my baby is in perfect shape and ready to kick-ass again!
I read some posts this afternoon, and it seems to be a pretty cool gang here, isnt' it?
I'd very much like to buy a LukeII for its versatility and I wanted to hear some suggestions from members who owns both. As prices here in Italy are way too high than US I alternatively look both for a new one or even an used one to be shipped.

Thanks for your feedbacks

Ciao
marco

Hello Marco

Welcome on this forum.
Don't bother with your english ... we are quite few here who are just TRYING to speak english.
We need to see some pictures of your beauty (your guitar not your wife ). Ok if you have also nice pics of your wife you can post them.

Again welcome

Welcome Marco!

And may I suggest you wait a bit until after NAMM 2007 to see what the new Luke model is going to be all about?

Ciao Marco, I live in Canada but my family comes from Sicily. Welcome and I'm sure you know this but for balance purposes:
due sfere (pallina) sono migliori di una!

2 balls are better than one

welcome to the forums. i'd say we definately are a cool bunch around here

Hi guys. It was a pleasure for me to see your post this morning in ol' Europe.
Thanks for all the welcomes/suggestions. Raz, I've been in vacation in Sicily a couple years ago, it was gorgeous man. Nice food/sea/people and... congratulations for your italian also. I will send some pics of both my wife and guitar very soon Thanks for the advice on the new upcoming Lukes. The flamed top one (Freaky Friday) is really stunning. Anyway I don't think I'm going to have it built from scratch from EB factory. I think a stock Luke 2 Blue will fit the same
I've been thinking of grabbing one for three years, now seeing your forum my fever raised. I consider all of you guilty for this
See ya until next time buddies.
Have a great day and keep on rockin'.

ciao
Marco

...You're a luky dude, man.... Saw Stevie last time in Milan nov 2005 with ElGrupo at the Blue Note. I was 10 feet from the man and shot some pics together.
For Steve, I'm from Lake Como, north Italy, 30 miles from Milan, man.
