new to ebmm, but not new to guitars, 30 years of playin and a pro touring , records, videos, etc., Owned and played too many guitars. current list 3 lado custom builds, anderson drop hollow t, 4 l.p customs, 1 l.p deluxe, 2 jackson soloist, 2 70's fender strat modded into super strats (floyd/humber), 5 high end high gain amps - diezels, wizard, modded marshalls.
Anyhow, tried ebmm a few months back.. my first experience with ebmm.. -luke3, jp6 bfr, axis, albet hh,-- liked the luke hh for ergonomics not too sure about the tone at that time.
Next up jp6 bfr, very nice playability, versatility, was impressed, did not expect it, sound was good, but not to die for. Next albert hh - great playability simple and it works, again tone ok, but not knock my socks off.
But i left the store with a very good positive attitude of embb 's. I think i have been brain washed all these years playing the big 2 giants as nothing is better than the 2 gaints.
Months forwarded, back to music store, i head straight to the l.p's - zoom, pick up the vos expensive one, i play and play, but am not comfortable with its playability, i want to luv itv(because its expensive), but not working, pick up another, than another, and another, well, am searching to fond that special bond in my hands ( were still talking guitars here !). I had enough of $4-6k of promises. Sales dude says come check this out, grabs an ibanez shredding lazer machine, so i try it, fretboard too wide for my hand, and these are suppose to be small necks ?, well no not for me. Fine, we move on, now he says this is my favorite, pulls the standard jp6 , and yes it feels comfortable. next albert hh, , feels nice, next luke3 again feels good. Next a moorse w/floyd - oohhh not so nice feel, action was too high and neck curve was not right for me, no thank you. So, am slowly converting to ebmm. Come home grab my l.p. custom and , oh no, this is terrible, play for an hour it gets better, but i can not stop thinking about the ebmm's that felt great right away. The 1 thing is the tone from the les paul that keeps me hooked. What model ebmm will get me that tone ? Or model + pickup swap ?
thanks for your time
