Hello Everyone I have a cool story for you all I work at Bass Central one of the largest Music Man Dealers in the world we sell mostly basses of coarse but we stock about 30 Ernie ball guitars at any given time. We keep most all models in all finishes and we are located in Central Florida. The Make a Wish Foundation had sent a young boy with cancer and his family to Orlando to have a nice vacation at Disney and Universal Studios, there last stop on their trip was our store. The foundation had arranged to buy him any Guitar in the store. He was looking at JP 7 stings he checked out the Pearl red burst and the Mystic dream and the Graphite Pearl. His favorite of all in the store was the JP 7 Mystic Dream Matching headstock, Tremolo Piezo, With the Inlay and that is exactly what he took home with him. His mother said it was the guitar of his dreams. I'm Glad we had it here for him. So hats off to Make a Wish Cause that was one of the coolest sales I've ever made.

Hope you like the story and don't forget we have a bunch of Limited Editions Coming soon.
Later
KC

That is a very heart-warming story. That kid is going to remember that for the rest of his life! Great taste in guitars, as well! :)

I'd love to visit your store one day, KC. Man, 30 guitars...I'm lucky if I can find 5 JPs in the same city.

Fantastic story! I think there are fewer than 5 EBMM guitars in Metro Detroit stores. I can think of one new one, which may have been sold already and one used one, which also may have been sold. There's one JP6. That's between GCs in Southfield, Canton, and Roseville; Huber & Breese; and Motor City Guitars. Okay, fine. There's the Allen Park GC, but I haven't been there. So, they may have one. Of course, I've definitely seen more basses.

Make A Wish made some cool things happen for one of my friends when things got ugly. I'll always think highly of them

I also recall that Make A Wish made possible the wish of two kids: meeting metallica. I remember how Metallica and Make A Wish arranged to take the kids to Met HQ and they mounted a "shop" with very rare merch and they could grab everything they wanted.

Then Metallica received them with applauses for their struggle against their disease and jammed with them for over 2 hours over the songs the kids were choosing. If I recall correctly the whole session got recorded and delivered to them.

Make a wish definitely is a good charity.
