Well, I'm finally an "official" member of the EBMM family... pics inside!

[PeteDuBaldo]

Thanks a bunch, everyone! It took a while to finalize the deal, but I'm glad I didn't let it slip past me.

Dats nice.

Blue Dawn w/o a pickguard is killa!

Yeah it is! Here's a better pic, "pro shot" style.

Pete...It does look like the p/ups have been changed. Are those flat pole pieces?

Nope! I don't have a regular JP here to compare them with, but from what I can remember, these look different to me.

You may Live. I think that your guitar pictured with mine (rare sparkly loaded burnt apple pet) would make an awsome picture together.

Dude!
What you got is the shiznet!

Thanks NorM! I think it would make a great pic, too - as long as we dont try to keep one another's guitars afterwards

Congrats buddy!!!! I'm glad you got that special JP you've been looking for. I'm also glad to hear your axes are flying out the door as quick as you get them. That's awesome. I too frequent your site and would like to see a update when you get the chance.

Okie-dokie, guess I will be updating tomorrow night - I found a nice spot in the parking lot for outside shots, but I was a half hour too late for the right lighting

Pete, with the new pics, I think those pups are stock...I can't wait to pimp that mutha for you

Good I can't wait to send it to ya, but I do wanna play it for a month or so first. It appears that the neck was sealed once before, is that something you guys did?
SN G15395

A few of the frets have noticeable string wear in them, you will have to let me know if they need to be replaced or just recrowned.... I'll email you when the time comes

Edit-
I popped off the control cavity cover, and there was still that plastic stuff under the screwheads - no signs of the circuitry being molested!

Yo Pete- that is one sweet Pet! Congrats. Hope you find the time to keep posting with all the playing you're going to be doing

 

[Bowks]

I like that, a LOT! Congratulations on some good GAS there.

As soon as I saw the headstock, I thought it was handsigned............you can tell by the 'oh damn, another 36 headstocks to sign' signature that mine has too! I just checked my SN against yours and ther seems to be no order behind allocation as mine is G15857.

Hope you enjoy it.

Right, look how the "I" is dotted outside the swoop. On the screened sigs the dot is inside. I saw you mention that yours was also signed in the SN thread. Very cool

I think the pen was running low on ink when he signed mine

BD is soooo hard to capture just right in a picture, but that close up of the headstock is the best representation of the color I've ever seen.

Captures it poifectly.

Reminds me of my Luke...well, one of them anyway.

 

[Warg Master]

DAAAAAMNNNNN That's nice **** there! I WANT ONE NOW!!!


Just goin got have to get a RAd Red Loaded Pet for my next ball.

 

[fogman]

Am I reading this correctly?
I was under the impression that the signature on the headstock was a decal of silk screen.
Are they actually individually signed?

 

[blackspy]

I think some of the first batch were hand-signed.

 

[jongitarz]

There were some in the begining that were hand signed. I am not sure how many there were, something like 100 or 150. All the others are silk screened on the headstock

 

[Bowks]

IIRC, the first 100 were hand signed by JP. 50 for the US market and 50 for the rest of the world.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

From what Dan @ EB said, JP signed the first 50ish of both 6 and 7 string models.

Thanks! I usually just take some quick snapshots (like on page 1), but figured I may as well take some quality shots of this one. I did take a few photography courses a couple years ago, so I can pretend I know what I'm doing.

I'm heading outside in the good light to take pics of the instruments at the store so I can update the site tonight. Should be fun

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Hey SteveB and francric....

I updated the EBMM section of my site, the only thing I didn't get to was the listing of instruments on order.

I still have about 12 instruments at the other store that I need to take pictures of. I hope you nags are finally satisfied

 

[SteveB]

Pete,

I checked it out a few minutes ago.. I'm satisfied.

Some very nice photos.. I like that spot in the parking lot.
The buttercream silo is a gem, I'd love to see that with a trem.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Thanks Steve! I have enough pictures to make a page for each instrument, which I may do on Tuesday night. Front/rear/neck shots of pretty much everything. The amount of birdseye on the Luke and Axis is sickening

And yes, that Butter Cream Silhouette is VERY nice. I think I have a Sterling on order in BC, too.

 

[Warg Master]

Just took a look at your updated mucic man stock......

Nice stock you have there!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Warg,

Ideally I would like to double the number of in-stock instruments, but the rollover rate isn't high enough on my off the shelf EBs yet

Wanna help a feller out and buy sumpin?
