Too much long time

[Olivier]

Hi Steve Morse's friends !!
I am French, my name is Olivier and I am 13 years old. I ordered a Music Man Steve Morse signature at the beginning of October . But it does not arrive!! It's too long.....How long did you wait ?
Tell me more, please !!!
Best Regards,
Olivier

I ordered a Albert Lee which took about 3 months before it arrived. It might take a bit longer for international orders but I'm just guessing. Either way it will be worth the wait for any EBMM guitar. I hope it arrives soon for you.

You can always give EB a call and check the status.

Hi musikarero!! Hi bing4sons !!

Many thanks for your reply. Tomorrow I will send an e-mail at EBMM.
With the telephone, with my bad English it would not be easy,I will tell of them you more the next time.
Which model of guitar do you have?

Best regards,

Bananas.

I have an Axis Super Sport, which also took 3 months.

I have two Albert Lee's one pearl blue the other trans gold. Both non trem hardtails. I hope you can get a shipping date on your guitar when you contact EB. Be sure to send pics here too when it arrives. We all love seeing and admiring each other's stuff....

Hi friends

While waiting for my Steve Morse signature, I am useful myself of that of my father, Strat Plus of 1990.
He is 49 years old and lived best the moment of the rock'n'roll, with ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page, Tomi Iommi, Alvin Lee, Johnny Winter, Van Halen, and of more recent as Steve Morse (That which I prefer) Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Mike Keneally, and John Petrucci........
I don't know Albert Lee, my father told me, beside Hendrix, he was the mentor of Ritchie Blackmore, that's right ?

I'm not sure about that.....maybe someone else might know. Albert Lee used to tour with a lot of different people years back including Eric Clapton for a while, Joe Cocker, Emmylou Harris and a ton more. Most of this being back in the 70's and 80's. He was on a couple Steve Morse records too. Look for the tune "General Lee" and you'll hear both of them tearing it up! His major influence for guitarist anyway has been in country music I suppose. Especially with the "chicken pickin" style. Although he learned from players before him many of todays biggest guitarist credit Albert Lee as being the one who made them want to play that way. He is also an extremely gifted pianist. Today he tours with a band called Hogans Heros all over Europe so you might get a chance to see him. There is a lot more to his career that I'm sure someone else can tell you more about and also correct any mistakes I may have made.

Too much long time.

Hi friends!
Which is the price of a EBMM Steve Morse in your country ? In France they are 2200 Euro. And your models ?

Bonjour mon amie!

Je ne connais pas que l'exchange par euros et dollars Americain, mais un Steve Morse EBMM est $1000+ ici.

J'espaire que je aidez vous, et excuse moi que mon mauvais francais. Je parle comme une petite enfant qui ne parle pas dans le passe or le future.

 

[bing4sons]

OK, I think I got the "Excuse my French" part...

 

[peter71]

Oh, the nerdiness that as me knows no limits...

On the bright side, taking French for 10 years had virtually no effect on my ability to impress girls. Which was the whole reason I took the language.

Boo!

Hi to the bests !!

The EBMM' reply :

Thank you for contacting Ernie Ball Music Man. We apologize for the delay. Unfortunately, due to the shortage of choice poplar wood that we can use for the Steve Morse in blueburst, the standard wait time is anywhere from 6 to 9 months.

PS : bing4sons, musikarero, peter71, Where do you live ?

Best regards,

Salut Olivier,

Moi aussi je suis Français, et j'ai une Axis Supert Sport et une Luke 2, j'ai du attendre 3 à 4 mois chacune, mais l'attente n'est rien du tout comparée à la qualité de ces guitares, crois moi c'est le top du top !!!
P.S : moi aussi j'adore Steve Morse, j'ai tous ses albums !

 

[bing4sons]

I live in the SE U.S. in Atlanta, Ga.

I purchased an Axis SS, which is basswood with a maple top, not the poplar.

Hi Friends!!!

I sent a message EBMM and they told me that they missed woods(poplar) for the EBMM signature Seve Morse.

Hi Friends!!!

I sent a message EBMM and they told me that they missed woods(poplar) for the EBMM signature Seve Morse.

I saw that in your post above. That is why I stated that the Axis SS uses basswood with a maple top. I don't think your long wait has anything to do with being international (versus being U.S. based).

EB's message to you stated that there is a longer wait for the Morse, due to a shortage of poplar (EB is having to wait longer to get the raw poplar wood, therefore the time you have to wait is longer) . Since there apparently is no shortage of basswood, maple, and ashwood the wait time for the Axis and Albert Lee models is not as long.

[musikarero]

It will be worth the wait! Mobile Alabama here.....a long way from France...

Salut Antoine !!
Apparemment la Corse est plus près des States que de chez moi !! Rires ...
Moi j'habite pas très loin de chez toi, dans le sud, arrière pays de Fréjus. J'ai vu plusieurs fois Deep Purple avec Steve à Monaco, Paris, Toulon en Octobre dernier, et mes parents m'ont emmené les voir à Cologne il y a deux été de ça. Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas plus de vidéos d'eux !!
A+

Thanks to all the forum's friends,

Thanks to you it is less difficult and you help me very well !!!!

Il live in the south of the France, near Nice.
I know the EBMM Luke, but not the EBMM Axis Sport, It's the Van Halen's guitar ?

Not a good language, sorry !!
