Re: Tried a couple of Ernie Balls today... Wow!
Back when the EVH model came out I tried a few. Was the first time I played any EBMM. Totally blew my mind. Wish I would've gotten one back then. Every one I've touched since then has had that same high quality to it. When a buddy of mine and I went to the Dallas Guitar Show this year, we stopped by their booth and I playing a few StingRay basses. Not a single dead note anywhere on the neck. Every note rang out as it should. The necks are incredible. I think if I was to get a 5-string, it would have to be a EBMM. Just crazy comfortable neck.

Not in the quality department. As for the lineup, I don't care for the JP or the Morse. Nice guitars but not my thing. I like the Silhouette, the Axis and the Cutlass in the guitar line. The Armada has that classic meets modern line going for it. I like the design. The StingRay bass is my favorite out of all the basses.

Yeah, I'm sure they are great, but I've been burnt on getting non-OFRs (including some very high-end contraptions) enough times that I am just not going there, unless I have the opportunity to make sure that it is rock solid over an extended period of time. The JP16 looks great, and I really have to try one at some point. The extremely flat fretboard isn't my thing, but I really like so many of the things EB are doing in general. Regarding colours, as Mincer said, I think they mix them up annually.

Hah! That's awesome to read, knowing that I have a share of responsibility in your purchase.
Congratulations! I'll be expecting a more complete review.

When you go back, try a St. Vincent. We're all dying to know.

Sorry, a bit late to the party, but even Sterling by EBMM has some great quality products. I have a Sub AX4 and it is a phenomenal little Wolfgang copy at a reasonable price.

Given that the Wolfgang was based off the EVH/Axis, which is the direct source of the AX4, it's rather the Wolfgang that's a copy of the Axis
