I was just thinking ealier, what happens to the ernie ball guitar parts that dont quite meet the quality control standards i.e. through blemishes or slight unforseen problems. I think I have heard somewhere that they are used for the artist's guitars, am I correct? Anyway this is just a thought in a moment of boredom lol!!! Later everyone :cool:

bad guitar parts are rejected and scrapped. we will never assemble a guitar with defective parts. Cosmetic seconds are used for demonstration,artist relations, and empployee purchase. If there is a problem with a neck or body that is out of speck it is cut in half...we dont sell seconds!

That's funny I thought that all of the items that EBMM rejected was throw in the trash, then F@#$%r & G@#$%n steal them to make their custom shop models :D

"F@#$%r & G@#$%n the guitars Ernie Ball reject.

or should that also be

F@#$%r & G@#$%n the guitars that discerning guitar players reject?

That would be cool.

NO seriously.. I don't want to make money from this... I would like to take maybe a jp6 or an axis body that has been cut in half and use it as an art piece in my house. I think that would be sick! cut it in half or thirds... I don't care! It would be hung on the wall as MORE THAT YOUR AVERAGE FINE ART!
