EBMM will most likely never do a set-neck or copy another guitar design.

No? Like the bolt on, HSH and SSS configurations were so original to begin with? Not slagging on EBMM here, but I would like to think they can take something existing on the market, and improve it like the way they did with the Silo Spec.

I'm sure if they decide to do a set neck, it will be great, and not just a ripoff of the LP design. There are already so many variations of the set neck in the market. Surely EBMM would be able to produce one that slays?

From what you're describing, I think 25th has it all. Check it out and it's got more tonal options than a bunch of LP's put together.

I take it you've never really discovered the beauty of the Les Paul control layout? The 25th is a step forward, but not having dedicated volume and tone controls for each pickup really hampers the guitar's ability, or so I've discovered.

I disagree. I think a master vol/master tone with versatile switching is much more practical in a live setting than individual volume and tone controls.

Now a blend pot might be a cool compromise...

Versatile switching is good. Not disputing that. Though I've not really had more than 3 positions used per song before on stage.

The versatile switching would be great for a few songs, but the dedicated controls would be very useful IN-song. You can set each pickup for a vol/tone setting, and switch without having to fumble about for knob settings. I find that's the one thing my Les Pauls have over all my other guitars. The use of the dedicated controls. Of course, if it was a SSS/SSH config, then 3 vol and 3 tones would be nice.:D
