Thanx Kev. EBMM sure is big time into the block inlays lately.

[Astrofreq]

That Sabre is unreal.

 

[racerx]

These all look great - that Ray is dripping with more sex than Barry White getting out of a pool.

 

[tbonesullivan]

Oh damn those are nice! I guess the questions about a Trans Amber Axis have been answered!

 

[EBMM_EVH_1992]

Quilted Translucent gold maple double top front 'n back looks sexy AF.

 

[Slick64]

No roasted neck on the Axis?

 

[beej]

Yeah- that sabre is dead sexy.

Thanx Kev. EBMM sure is big time into the block inlays lately.

Glenn |B)

Yeah. I used to be primarily a Les Paul player so it's ironic that I just don't love them on the EBMMs.

That pink burst Sabre, though. My my.

 

[GoKart Mozart]

The double bound Axis...wow!

 

[Fro]

That Sabre!!!

 

[jayjayjay]

That Axis is quite the looker, although I can't say that I agree with the decision to not sculpt the neck joint. That's one of the selling points for MM instruments for me. Looks like an ouch.... putting aesthetics over function...

 

[wannarock8]

I might need that Stingray fretless bass.

 

[Lucien2]

The Sabre. Goodness Gracious. I guess I'm saving up for a Pink Champagne Valentine, but that Sabre....

 

[francric]

The Sabre is nice because of the black limba but no one has anything to say about that JP7?

 

[Bartman1]

That Sabre —I like it

 

[Astrofreq]

UNREAL!!! Wow!

 

[dibart77]

Wow! Congrats! That is pretty amazing!

Can't do a translucent finish matching headstock on roasted maple, unless they were going to veneer it.

OK, I'm going to show my ignorance on woodworking and finishing techniques here, but... don't they finish the neck after roasting? Why couldn't they match the headstock then? Or is it that the wood would be too dark compared with the maple cap?
