What are Rare EB's?

[cjames83]

I know a lot of companies have rare guitars. Are there any rare Ernie Balls? If so, what are they?

Wow, man. There are a lot, probably too many to even try to list. One rare one, for sure, is Mr. Horsepower. I think 25 were made. EBMM also has an absolute ton of one-offs, which of course would be the most rare. I won't even try to list them all.

 

[Slingy]

Rare or not. They are all awesome.

BP's full mahogany reflex with Koa top and gold hardware. Sexy beyond words.

Spalted maple JP, purple reflex, F'ing's roasted JP that's NOT in black sugar, I know where there's a burnt apple Axis custom with a factory tone knob (not a supersport...a floyd Axis), Dweezle's Al, Blues S's Al, Honey Burst Silo and Silo Spec (Johnny Hiland and one at DuBaldo's) etc. They're out there, but they don't get publicised very much. These are all just off the top of my head.

Been told my Silo is one of a kind. Recent model with Floyd and Birds eye maple neck with sparkle finish. The neck profile is more like a Morse than a Silo. Great guitar! Was made for an endorsee (24/7 Spyz???) I think.

Didn't realise the first run pinkburst ALs were so rare! My dad has one - I'll have to tell him....

There were only 2 of the silverburst JPs and 50 of the 46th anniversary GC JPs that were signed.

How about the autumn redrise Petrucci. I have never, ever seen one for sale in years. Beautiful color changing sparkle, wish they would bring that color back.
