Excellent playing! I remember his Samick signature model from the early 90's! oh dear lord please don't make any lefty AL HH's [Reverse psycho-something] I'll buy it! the AL SMOKES!!! Thanks for the vids!

 

[Mikey]

Cool videos.
The thing I like the most about it is that Blues seems to be as excited as all we knuckleheads are about these new instruments. I guess he is a fanboy, too!
A few clean sounds would have been cool, though.

 

[ScoobySteve]

Very cool.

I love my 25th. And by love, I mean, love love love love love love it!

 

[threeminutesboy]

[mbgreene]

Hey , a 2H Al that sounds and plays like a dream
Who'd a thunk it?? hehehe


Thanks for the vids Colin

NICE! I'm beginning to take a liking more and more to the HH-AL...not the biggest fan of the shape, but the tone is so AWESOME!!!! I love the in between positions. Crap...another GAS attack hahaha. The Reflex is great, and I'm glad that they are part of the new line for EBMM. These guys really do create magic!

Thank you Colin for posting. Notice in the backround in both

video's the Al Gold Sparkles never leave his sight. I wish the

Music Man site had demo video for all the guitars. The UK site

did a nice job putting it all together. After watching the Reflex

demo, I really liked the vintage sunburst and the tone from the

Reflex. Very nice guitar.

Cheer for the post Col

 

[Hendog]

He is truly one of the best guitarist that I know of.

You guys at EBMM hit the nail on the head getting him to demo your guitars.

 

[mb99zz]

Awesome videos. Does the "classic white" look like that in person or is it the lighting. I think it looks great, but it's got more of a yellowish tint to it than how it appears on the MM site.

 

[Hendog]

After listening to those 2 demo's a couple of times, it's amazing how similar those guitars sound. Do they have the same pickups? I know they have the same pickup selector configuration.

 

[beej]

Yep, same pickups. The Axis p'ups with covers.

In person, they feel and sound different. Not radically, but there are some sonic difference (notwithstanding the series/parallel setting the 25th has that the AL doesn't).

 

[browndog]

Great demos. Blue’s is such a genuine likeable guy. More I hear him play, the more I like him.

I seriously want a Reflex!

 

[DaPatrooch]

They both sound amazing, but that HH AL is really something else.

 

[straycat113]

Great demo of both guitars, by the way does Blues ever age.lol He does such a great job and comes across as such a likable guy. I know both guitars have the same pups, but to my ears their was quite a noticeable difference in tone from one guitar to the next. I guess that is why you should own both.

 

[mb99zz]

He does such a great job and comes across as such a likable guy.

I totally agree. All of the EBMM artists appear to be super nice and humble.

For tuning stability when using the vintage trem is it better to float it or leave it flush (AL HH).
I haven’t changed the setup since I’ve had it but it’s going a little out of tune every time I use the trem, I could never use it like Blues does on the videos because it would go hideously out of tune..
Any ideas guys

 

[Tone?]

The way I setup my Al HH is by raising the bridge a bit by the posts and having the trem
rest on the body at a bit of a back angle. This seems to have a more precisise zero point on the trem rather than having the bridge set all the way down.
When you set it all the way down to me there is more of a chance that it will not rest well on the body everytime you use the bar
my trem this way can almost be used like a Floyd
works real good and the guitar to me sounds way better this was as well
