Who DOESN'T have an Ernie Ball......

[akozols]

Who here doesn't have an Ernie Ball, yet still posts or lurk? Why?

I'll start. Years ago, I had an EVH and later had a Silouette Special. I sold them for financial reasons. I miss the Sil and will someday get another one.

I found the forum after I sold them and now check in every day. I like the regulars who post here and the friendly nature, but mostly I like to look at the guitars. EVERY EBMM I see is a work of art. Also, hearing the users rave about them proves they are more than just good looking.

I do my own fretwork and they come out pretty good. One day there was a closeup of the frets showing Jon's work. I was amazed, they were perfectly round. I wanted to see if it made a difference, so I redid one of my necks. I used a triangle file and spent about 5 minutes on each fret. I made sure they were as perfect as Jon's. It took a long time and alot of effort, but the results were amazing. Paying attention to the details made a big difference. EBMM does that to all their guitars; they spend the time to make them perfect instead of just cranking them out.

Someday, I'll hit the lottery, pay off my bills and use the leftover to get some nice EBMMs. I'll post pics when I get them,,,,till then, I'll look and crave.

Don't own one, but have one on order. An Axis with premium natural flame maple top. I think the next one will be a Benji Madden. Not because I'm a big fan, just like that it's a simple guitar. Fixed bridge, one pickup. I want it for lower tunings. Hope you get another one soon.

i think id really like a Benji with MM90's ... even better, a 1 pup (@ the bridge) MM90 Axis SS. it would almost be like a Les Paul Junior. woah, maybe a SUB version

now im dreuling ... and imagining it being the Billie Joe Armstrong sig model. ah yes ... id buy that.

I don't own one yet nor have one on order. I'm currently still in the drooling phase. I am not a lurker. I would call myself an active poster. I think I've got a few under my belt.
I basically am one of those guys who use to play guitar years ago, and found something was missing in my life. I started looking at guitars, came across an OLP thought it was bang for the buck. The EB sig on the headstock had me curious. So I hunted for info on EBMM only to be very pleasantly surprised! Found this spectacular forum and the rest is history!
I spend way too much time here. As it is said.
I'M ADDICTED!!!!!! and don't want any help!

I own an OLP that is guessed to be the NAMM guitar from last year. It's an amazing instrument that fit my bill and what I wanted. I am a very active poster and active musician. I found this site by accident and just so happened to find a great group of individuals who are very informitive and extremely wealthy... OR in debut up to their yahoos! Either way they are still great to talk to!

I have an EBMM Axis and a G&L Invader XL. I love them both and kinda consider them to be distant cousins given the founder of both companies.
