I'm still loving the hell out of this guitar. Simply incredible. I know I sound like a damn broken record, but it definitely makes me want to play more, my fingers were really sore on Saturday from playing it so much over the week.

I took it back to my local store last night to show my old guitar teacher and he was blown away. He played it for about 15 minutes and just kept shaking his head. And it definitely draws a crowd. I had one guy ask if it was a PRS... Nope it's a Musicman... Really?!?! The look was priceless.

I've got some new gear coming in today (Tech 21 SansAmp Tri AC) so I'm excited to go home and play some more. This thing just oozes tone.

I think my wife has finally come to the realization that any free time I can find in a day will be spent playing with my Balls...

Fred, that was a cool thing to do. I am hoping to draw a small crowd when I open the box on my Y2D at my local dealer. Great chances to plug EBMM.

Glenn,
You've never have a Y2D... They don't make 'em in sparkle. :D

And thanks, I am enjoying this guitar.

Fred, one can only hope that sparkles will be the new LE color for 2006 or 2007???

Let me dream a little bit will yah.

I actually had my PRS 20th Anniversary Standard draw a few crowds... at first they're puzzled because it doesn't have the typical "pretty boy fancy top" of many PRS guitars... but then they're stunned at how it plays and sounds.

It has a one piece mahogany neck, one piece mahogany body, matte NITRO finish (vintage orange) that really lets the guitar breathe and resonate. It rings and has clarity that is pretty amazing.

I'm almost to a point where the guitars I have (PRS standard, EBMM Silhouette, Koa Charvel SanDimas, Alder Strat, and Ash Eddie-type Charvel) just about cover the spectrum of sounds I'm looking for.

I just need to finish my Semi-Hollow Axis. (photoshop representation)

Oh that's right you're waiting for one aren't you??? :D Hey I know where you can find a couple right now. :o

Sorry Beej, just messing. I hope your shows up soon...
 
EBMM guitars certainly do rule. I love it when people who have never played a MusicMan, or have never even seen one get one in their hands and just shake their head in disbelief. Yes, they're THAT good.
