New EB Prototype

[OrangeChannel]

That's awesome.....it has the JP control layout too I see....but recessed....that's hot!

I was gonna guess...The bongo guitar.

The knobs look similar to the bongo knobs

the neck matches the body color...the comp. nut, recesed controls...

and that's about all I've got...haha

I like the Neck-through Mahogany Idea a lot. This is a good path to follow. Maybe add Korina to the list of woods. I love the tone of my JP6, but it's my understanding that Mahogany and Korina are the best tonewoods.

A few years down the road we'll be saying: "Gibs*n who?", and someone on the the PRS board will be asking how many PRS' they'd trade in for a EBMM.

Basswood is a lot like mahogany in it's tonal characteristics...truth be told there are no "best tone woods" it's all up to personal opinion and interpretation.

what happened !!!! did a gibson firebird & a parker fly have sex & have offspring ?????

 

[J-Nick]

This is a very cool guitar!

Is there any technical reason why the headstock was extended?

Your right about the subjective nature. I had a friend who had one of those lexan "see-thru" acrylic guitars and actually thought that sounded good. I've had a number of Mahogany body guitars and really liked the depth of the tone, not to mention my Martin, which is mahogany and sounds incredible to me.
