Hello All,
I just recently joined this forum but have owned an Ernie Ball Axis since 2001 (Translucent Orange).
I had attended the San Jose GC event last Friday after seeing the poster for it a few days earlier.
The show was great, as I am sure you all know and the interactive nature of the show made it even more enjoyable.
After the event was over we had some free time to mingle about and eye up the line of EBMM's they had on display.
I didn't know much about the BFR's at that time so I asked Scott Ball to give me a bit of the background. The story was great and I enjoyed talking to him but didn't want to take up too much of his time. I was really intrigued and I grabbed one of the Luke's with the Rosewood Neck.
It felt really comfortable in my hands and was silky smooth to play. Scott comes back and asked me what I thought. "I think I need to plug it in" is what I answer.
So we head into the backroom to plug it into a Bogner they had setup (I have a Rivera Chubster that I love so wanted something close to it). Needless to say it played just as well plugged in.
Scott had been in the room with me and we chatted during the test drive. A few minutes later Sterling Ball came in and told me even more about the guitar........then not too long after that Steve Lukather came in and talked about the guitar.......then grabbed it from my hands and started playing........
Anyway, after all that how could I say no........but to be honest, the guitar pretty much had me at "hello" once I picked her up and my biggest fear was that I would walk out of there with it........
So I am now the proud owner of a Cabernet Red Luke with the Rosewood neck.....
Attached is a pic of me and Steve Lukather, even when posing for the pic he continued playing.....
