I usually try to stay out of these type threads as to try and not sound like a kiss ass even though the feelings and thoughts are warranted.
This really isn't just about Mr. Petrucci's newest guitar. It a celebration of the ongoing efforts made by everyone related to the Ernie Ball products. The company (everyone involved) are constantly going beyond the call of duty to improve, reinvent, and bring things to the next level. The product quality is already amazing, yet there's still the drive to improve! Beyond that is an incredibly amazing bunch of people with passion in everything they do with the end focus being the customer! You are all leaders in the industry, and a business model that any industry should try copy.
No pun intended, but you're on the Ball!
My hat comes off to you all, and I am extremely thankful for the experiences and information that is shared at this forum. Both on an industry level, and a personal one too.
All I can say is Thank You.
The openness and responsiveness of the EB staff is truly amazing. I guess I'm ever the engineer, I love knowing how things work, and this forum provides a fascinating window into how EB works as a company. I love reading about the history, the present, and the future of EB, straight from the people who made or are making it happen. Not many companies put themselves out there so plainly, especially on a forum where people can talk back! I'm glad that I have the opportunity to share in it.
