My local former EBMM dealer has this up on the wall, and when I took it down I noticed that the color and sparklies really changed depending on the lighting. The sold it to me cheap, and it plays as nicely as it looks.

That is sweet dude...

I miss the Subs.... best value in a guitar I think I've ever seen, and they played like any other MM in terms of fretwork and ease of navigation. I never heard one plugged in, but I can only imagine that it sounded good, and changes would be made pickup wise based on choise, not sub quality pickups (no pun intended at all.)

I was very sad to see them go, but I think MM's appeal to players that are more developed in thier tastes and younger players that tend to need budget priced guitars are usually not as far along in thier guitar choices (I.E. would rather pay 500 for a Korean guitar that looks like the most current trend, than a bit more for a guitar as good build quality wise as any other 1500 dollar guitar.)

I'd still like to pick up a couple for some of the house band stuff I do....
 
WOW! Is that really cinnamon, or is it a custom job maybe? I have a graphite, and there is absolutely NO sparkle to the color. Just gray. I like it, but it's nowhere near that fancy...

It is all-original, except for the pick guard. It is the textured Cinnamon finish. Ugly as a turd in some lights, but amazing in others.
