the one that got away

[blkcloud1313]

Here is the BFR Axis that I had ordered a couple of years ago. I never took delivery because of some stuff that the salesperson was doing (underhanded stuff; he is no longer in the business), ended up canceling the order. The store ended up taking delivery anyway, but sold it before I could get funds together.

This is the one that got away; I wish I could have gotten it. Will someday order another.

Sad story but this model is not discontinues so you still have hope

as much as i hate to hear stories like this i'm glad to see principal won over desire to have a great guitar. If its the same store i'm thinking of i had cash in hand to buy a silo that was stock and the salesman blew me off... I walked and found a minty one on Craigslist in the bay area for 1/2 the price... LOL

The store is one state over, in the biggest little city in the world if that tells you anything. Love the store; the owner is sketchy, and his internet sales guy had some questionable ethics.

I only buy strings at the local stores, especially after "S..p" of S..p's Music "purchased" that old lady's in the Foothills late husband's guitar collection. No ethics or compassion.

That is a hard one to let slip as T-Black is classic. But as stated as long as it is not discontinued yours is out there waiting to be bought.

A beautiful guitar. No wonder it haunts you. You'll have to order one, I can see no other way for you.

 

[blkcloud1313]

Funny, I am seeing no other way either, lol.

There's this place called New Jersey Guitar and Bass Center that's about a 40 minute drive from me. They're the largest EBMM dealer on the east coast apparently. They had a lot of great stuff, like a couple 20th Silos. They had one with matching headstock, trem, and quilt top, and I wish I would have jumped on it. But then again I didn't have the money at the time, and if I got that I wouldn't have gotten my JP, so I guess it all works out in the end.

Maybe I can contact them and see if they have the Axis configured in the way I want. Thanks for the info.

I actually don't really like the one you just posted.
Does nothin for me.

You should count you're blessings you missed out on it and get the trans black one I posted.

Was that the one with the rosewood board and amazing top? If so, where is that one available at? That guitar was gorgeous.

[PeteDuBaldo]

The one that got away is the reason I started posting on this site. I sold my Sunburst EVH serial # 80850, in 1999. I bought that guitar from NJ guitar and Bass Center in Edison, they were the first guys on the east coast to have the EVH's.I was 13 and I had my holy grail guitar. Ten Years later, I moved out on my own, was broke, and really a stupid punk kid.The frets on the guitar couldn't be dressed anymore, and I didn't have money for a refret,It was like a fretless guitar. I started gigging, and didn't wanna bring the EVH out to shows in NYC. So I posted it on Ebay and sold it to a guy named Rudy Chavez in California. I swear when I packed that guitar to ship it, it hit me. I felt like I was selling my soul, I started crying like a b$%tch. Every time I surfed the net, I would always go to EBAY, and search EVH ernie ball.I found 1 post on a random site by Mr Chavez dated 1999. I guess he sold it right away. Recently I have been OBSESSED with finding it. I've had 2 Axis Sports since but they were not the same, but recently I played an Axis, and it felt like Home. I'd buy the Axis but I'm gonna hold out a bit more to see if I can find my old Guitar. I will pay big bucks for it. Thanks for putting up with my relentless posts here on the forum guys, I hope to join the ebmm family again soon!!!
