Will there ever be another "SUB"?

Polar is a great body wood and nice to work with too.

I agree with an earlyer comment about the Sub name, never worked for me.
A better choice would have been The Working Man

I think Leonidis would have been a fitting name All the Schecter's and LTD's are just the army of Persians I suppose

So let's turn this into a fun thread somehow. What would you do to a Ball to attempt to make it more affordable?

I'd endorse it. That would make the value go down for sure!

The Sub1 (gotta jam those four * for the search engine) is my favorite EBMM guitar. It's fantastic for metal and those stock pickups are absolutely magical. It's a no BS, grab and go guitar that will deliver night in and night out without so much as a sweat and if it skids across the floor after falling off its stand, who gives a crap? You don't have a 4A quilt top to fret over.

I hated the name (it implies SUB par) but aside from that, all else was purrfect. In fact, I wouldn't mind it returning as a Korean import as long as the guitar was actually inspected by Ernie Ball here in the US before shipping out to stores or customers. I'm not a cork sniffer by any means. Guitars are tools. If the company can provide a quality, lower-level instrument with the quality still intact, it is a great way to develop brand loyalty from the younger set who can't afford the big boy models.

I can buy any EBMM I want but I keep going back the Sub1. It drips with sweaty chicken-wire mojo right out of the gig bag.

I think SUB1 implies being sub-$1k?

I'd rather not see it as a korean import though... for far too many reasons to list.
