My #1 is my only one.

1993 EBMM/EVH, Translucent Sunburst.

Although, I have owned Axis's in the past. A Natural, a Trans Purple, and Cherryburst.

Having owned the Axis and the EVH, I have to say that the Axis is pretty much the same guitar. There is a slight tone difference, and the neck feels slightly different once you get past the 8th fret, but other than that, it's about the same.

I've heard guys with the EVHs say that the EVH is far superior. Sorry, I just don't see it that way. Not enough of a difference to matter. In fact, EBMM really did do the right thing widening the neck slightly. It was an improvement. I suspect most of the perceived superiority of the EVH over the Axis is due to the fact that it bears a signature.

I'm a fan of the music VH, so for me, it's something to own one. I have to honestly say that if you're not a nut like me about the band, the Axis is for you.

Nom noms to that above! :D

My JP7. I rarely play my 6 anymore, which in a way is sad, because it's so gorgeous...

This is it at the moment, but something tells me it could change in the not so distant future.

Having owned both the EVH and the Axis I would have to agree with Nobozo... but Ill take it further... Once EVH was no longer in the picture BP and the rest of the MM team really took the Axis on step further. The new placement of the toggle switch makes playing the Axis so much more natural. But the real improvements started with the Axis Sport and the Super Sport? BP turned a great guitar into a TONE MONSTER! In a way, I'm glad EVH went to the "Big F" to try and polish a Turd... I for one prefer innovation and class. BTW, the Axis is more cost effective then the EBMM EVH... I was scared to play mine in the end.

Digging those G&G cases :D
I own 2. They are better looking with age & a bit of mojo....

I still prefer them to the newer moulded plastic ones, even though they are less practical / hard wearing.

Anyway If I ever scrape enough £ together to get a BFR, I will have another G&G case to add to the collection....

Brett, you have entirely too much disposable income. :D

Seriously though, you have a great collection. A couple years ago, I was going to buy one from you, but decided to go with another guitar instead. Looking back now, I should have taken the deal you offered me.

I haven't had enough time to really play either of them yet, but that rosewood neck is so addictive, and the JP forearm contour is so comfy that I have a feeling it's going to be the Orange Firemist JP6 with the BFR Rosewood neck for a very long time.
