When I got my first Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar (my amazing Metallic Maroon Silhouette) the only thing I knew abou them was what I had read in a guitar magazine about eight years ago about Eddie Van Halen and Steve Lukather and some kind of guitar they were making with Ernie Ball. I then vaguely remember seing something about Steve Morse. But the guy who has influenced me the most in my loyalty to Ernie Ball products has to be Tony Levin.
There is probably no one in music that I admire more, or that inspires me more, than Tony Levin. Even though I am not a bass player, Tony has been a huge influence on me. I find that any time I would listen to a song and be totally blown away by the bass playing, if I looked, nine times out of ten it was Tony.
I have had a great experience with my Silhouette, and wouldn't trade if for any other guitar out there. But the thing that keeps me even more into Ernie Ball products, is that I feel like if a guy like Tony uses them, they must be great. I have so much respect for him as a musician and an expert in his field, that I trust his judgement when it comes to gear. I have since felt the same about Morse, Lukather, Lee and Petrucci also.
So thank you Tony, for being the man! Or something like that....
