I left the OLP (distant cousin several times removed) doubleneck out of the photoshoot - now that one costs a fortune in strings on its own! :rolleyes:

Hey John,
If I counted right that is 13.... unlucky number.
I think you need to add one more. :D

I think of it more as a yummy baker's dozen....;) But...I am still looking and buying.

(and for those wondering - I have played and do play them all on stage with the exception of the SR5. I was back in the guitar gig when I got that one)

Damn John, that's a very nice collection you've assembled. I think it's fair to say you are the Canadian Ball King.:D

You've come a long way since getting your first Amber Axis.

Yeah, we used to do them in green. Actually... we do them in green now too! You can get a Ball Family Reserve Axis or Axis Super Sport in green.

A very humble thanks to you Scott, but I doubt that I come close to that title!
(However, TONS of thanks to you for helping to get me to where I am today!)

Believe me, it is my pleasure to share pics with my fellow forumites!
And, with the exception of the SR5HH, I play every one on stage at least once every two months - I am fortunate enough to play in a band that is relatively busy (most months, 3 of 4 weekends), and with bandmates who humour me and allow me the flexibility to play different guitars with different personalities (and sounds) every weekend!

If I do nothing other than make others interested in EBMMs, then I am happy!

(Plus...I GET to play all these FABULOUS guitars! Can it get any better?)

They must have been pretty rare before they became a BFR?
