Texas Finally!
So I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I bought a new EBMM, someone thought I bought the Emerald Green Luke 4 HSS and well I did :) So pics of it, awesome





But that was not the only one and this was the first, had been looking for an Axis hardtail for awhile but slim pickings and either beat to hell or way, way over priced.

So one Sunday afternoon I was looking at Reverb and this guitar popped up, looked in good shape EVH hardtail, I messaged the seller about condition. case etc, stated good condition, all original including the case, so I asked best price , came back wit a reasonable price and pulled the trigger, very fine shape for a 31 year old guitar, strings were crap, non EB, and upon trying to replace realized the tunes were crap, original tuners but three barely turned. Seems the dude I bought it from had it as a case queen but in early life someone played it a lot.

So I contacted EBMM and they did not know a direct replacement with locking tuners, suggested I contact Schaller, so I did nice fellow with DR in his name responded quickly with the replacement parts. No where to be found in the USA so had to order directly from Schaller, took forever but got them and direct replacement, love them, 30 minutes later new tuners installed and kick ass, so here you go a rare bird :)

Thanks Glenn, love the EVH, it is my buddies as soon as I cant play anymore , which is still now but recovering from the elbow issue.

God has blessed my wife and I with the ability to retire and not worry, we will never work again in any capacity , especially corporate America, just evil, time to enjoy the time we have left :)

Congrats on both guitars !
It seemed to me very likely it was you who bought the "one-off L4" after your good news about your recoveryand and the news you have bought a new guitar. And all of a sudden that green L4 has dissappeared from the vault ...;)

Beautiful guitars Keith. It’s so funny how the forum guys know your NGDs before you even post. I almost wonder if EBMM is making one-offs and saying “This Luke is definitely going to Texas - print Keith’s mailing label.”
