Between being slammed by work and fighting a nasty cold, I'd hardly picked up a guitar for a couple weeks. This morning I work up early and finally had the energy and inclination to play a bit. The closest guitar at that moment was my rosewood-necked PRS Custom 24 so that's the one I started playing. After about ten minutes I put it down because I just wasn't feeling it.

A few minutes later, I grabbed my rosewood ASS. It was like coming home! That guitar, like its twin (another rosewood ASS with trem), just feels right in my hand. Things that felt a little awkward on the PRS just a few minutes earlier suddenly felt comfortable and effortless when played on the Axis.

I suppose that's why my Balls have gotten most of my playing time since I got my first one 18 months ago. :)

Gotta agree with you -- I just received my first EBMM guitar, a pearl blue Axis Super Sport HH in the mail today. I've played quite a few guitars in my time; some well made, some that played like splintered 2x4's strung with chicken wire, but when I tuned it up for the first time and started playing, I felt like I was playing an instrument designed just for my hands. Comfortable, lightweight, gorgeous and inspiring to play -- the tasty riffs just keep comin'.

The cops will probably show up tonight -- I plan on playing it until the wee hours of the morning.

Man, is that not the truth!!!! It just "feels" right compared to any other guitar. Although I have played a few other nice feeling guitars, nothing can compare.

Oh yeah, I forgot about your bad week Al; playing something that just feels perfect is also "therapy and stress relief"!! I know you already know this.

Definitely true. I traded off a bunch of very sweet PRS guitars to get my current stable of Music Man guitars. PRS makes a fine axe, but Big Poppa and crew make the best.

I've got a beautiful PRS natty quilted custom 24 10 top. Most expensive guitar i own. Bought just before i discovered Lukes.
Havent played it in 7 years and its the guitar i'd loan out to a friend before any of my Lukes. Just sayin'.

I know, Alec. That same guitar turned me onto EBMM. Since I first played that guitar, everything started to change for me, too. I have gradually shifted away from other guitars and definitely play my EBMMs more than anything else. Glad its worked out so well for you! :)
