Found a shop a few hours away that carries EBMM and they had several is stock.....so I went today for a look.....and came back with this

EBMM Axis Ball Family Reserve in Blue Berry Burst
BEAUTIFUL quilt maple top
Subtle birds eye on the neck, nothing too over the top
Needless to say the feel of the neck is the neck is the best part of the guitar
The guitar feels very small (because it is) still breaking her in

Re: NGD.....Its not a Wolfgang lol

looks amazing! the shape and all isn't my thing, but lovely top and neck
 
Re: NGD.....Its not a Wolfgang lol

Nothing short of fantastic. I can only imagine waht it must be like to have a high end guitar like that! Makes me wanna dump all my junk and get one.
 
Re: NGD.....Its not a Wolfgang lol

I don't have really long fingers, so the smaller neck feels really nice. Its actually easier to play faster with higher action because I can get more of my hand and fingers around the neck to the strings
 
Re: NGD.....Its not a Wolfgang lol

Im actually originally from San Luis Obispo, CA, where the EBMM guitars are made. So its pretty special that I have a guitar made from my home town
 
Re: NGD.....Its not a Wolfgang lol

Wow... gorgeous! Love the blue quilt and the neck! You say it's small... what's the scale length?

Ya it basically is. The reason I went with this over the wolfgang is A) the bigger frets and B) the neck shape. The neck on the EVH wolfgang I used to have was a tad flatter in the back, but still very small. It also had very small frets, so with lower action, it was too hard for me to grip the strings. I do miss the stainless steel frets though

It is a big awkward going back and forth between it and my SC245 at first. flat top vs carved top, 1 & 5/8 nut vs 1 & 11/16 nut
 
Re: NGD.....Its not a Wolfgang lol

I will say that the quality rivals that of my PRS. and the PRS is basically flawless. I never thought id find a guitar that was on par quality wise with the PRS
 
Re: NGD.....Its not a Wolfgang lol

That is stunning. I may have to try one of those out. I don't have long fingers either. Congratulations.
 
Re: NGD.....Its not a Wolfgang lol

holy cow it is so much brighter than my PRS. It has a full on, flat maple top, I can see it in the pickup cavity......but the PRS has a a thick, carved maple top. I think since its a BFR that it has a mahogany tone block inside the basswood body, but I'm not 100% sure
 
Re: NGD.....Its not a Wolfgang lol

That maple top is outrageous! Beautiful guitar.

I had a purple one years ago, another one that I wish I still had... I would buy another Axis over a Wolfgang any day, I actually love the looks of the MM, and they play amazing.
