OLP MM1(F) with flametop

[salokin]

Hi All,

I've been browsing ebay and have seen this posted: NEW OLP MM1 E Ball Licsd Guitar w Floyd Rose Maple Top. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2384&item=3776729609&rd=1 and http://www.olpguitars.com/mm1f.asp

Does anyone know anything about these?
are they a limited edition thing?
I have been interested in the olp mm1 but worried about the look of the finish, these look great.

Thanks for any info

I had one once....it was used for when I traveled. It did not have the floyd. I got it because it was cheap and I did not care if it got man handled by the airport "throwers"...my work for baggage handlers. Needless to say, it was run over once and finally, the neck snapped in half. I got it because of the price. Cheap.

Now, for the price. It was a decent axe. It was by no means an EBMM Axis, but, it kept me practicing and what not. It is better than some, worse than others. I have a hard time with this "Limited Edition" tag being put on it though. Dude, I have seen stomp boxes priced higher. Not to knock the guitar, but, it sounds like a sales pitch more than anything else. Of course, my opinion.

If you want a decent guitar to get to start out with or as a second to use for those out of town trips, this would be the one. But Limited Edition, I have a hard time buying into that.
