Musicman guitars..

[charlestheguitarist]

hey guys..not been posting lately but now i gotta the chance..anyway i have been researching on music man guitars..looked in the forums and found some of you EBMM owners in some sites so now i have calculated cost and everything..and it seems that since my mum would only allow a max of two guitars...i might save up and buy a Steve Morse in the future...so my question is 1) are there any local dealers in singapore that can help order a custom EBMM besides Sinamex(I think,so correct me if im wrong)
2) will the cost be high..i dont mind waiting if im going to order..
3) Anyone has a steve morse EBMM besides fgl(i think)?


sorry if this post is too long..cheers.. 8)

By the way do you think SOFT is underrated? =P

The only dealer is Sinamex, but i've seen Davis bring some SUB1 guitars in.

 

[charlestheguitarist]

okay...seems like i might have to order the morse..can anyone roughly suggest how much shipping would cost?..thanks

 

[momorockstar]

hey go to the sinamex website and write an email to the sales guy. name's nigel i think. he replies pretty quick with price quote.

hey guys..

Just my opoinion. Steve Morse's guitar has too many pickups. It has 11 combinations (i Think) if u know how to meddle with it. Why don you consider LUKE or JP models? I think its too complicated 4 me. If you insist on Steve Morse, why don you get his new Y2D model? It's nicer & i think its much simpler.

hmm well is that a transparent pickguard?

if it is, be warned: transparent pickguards don't look good at all 5 years down the road, with scratches, dents, dirt and stuff on it. that from my personal experience.

Too many pickups?

Its just 2 hums and 1 single, in a HSH config.

 

[subversion]

it's never too many pickups if you have some use for them...

 

[charlestheguitarist]

well...as the saying goes..the more the merrier :lol: But too much of a good this is also kinda bad 8) ....keep in moderation...yup..i like the new steve morse y2k...but i think more combinations better as i can get lotts of tones...and i dont really want to keep too many guitars...plz dont recommend the variax....im already saving for one of those with the maple neck for my recording stuff when i get my pod this 22nd(my birthday! yah!)

cheers guys...

each player has his/ her eccentricities... the new Steve Morse signature model has actually 1 pickup (single coil) lesser than the blue models. however, prior to the EBMM endorsement, Morse actually sports that 4-pickup configuration in his telecaster.

 

[charlestheguitarist]

wow...puts my tele to shame..even though its a squier :lol: anyway sub thanks for the info..so anyone played a morse before..i might try it this weekend if im free...btw..anyone tried the axis supersport looks hot as well...argh! G.A.S...

Hmmm, if you're going for the older steve morse version, i think the user "fgl" is selling his. Might be cheaper, and you might be able to try it first too. PM him and ask.

 

[Lyn]

Oh, and if you are looking for the JP model, they have 1 or 2 left that they just shipped in. You might wanna head down and check it out soon, before they're gone

sold to Malaysian collector already...

 

[LimpPisskit]

If I was U I would order from Sinamex and wait.

So many horror stories about shipping EBMM guitars in those molded cases cause neck crack. Just read it on Ernie Ball or JP forums.

 

[fgl]

yep..dats why Malaysian collector got his S'pore fren to collect it from me....

Hey all, it seems there are a number of Musicman users around here. Thought I'd ask you guys about it.

I'm looking for a good electric guit with a budget slightly over 2k, and musicman looks like it's pretty good. I was tempted to order the supersport axis with HH combination but I feel very hesitant to order a guitar that I have not tried out myself before.

I play rock, Christian music and almost everything else but mostly rock and the one thing that's important to me in an electric guit is a good sustain. So I guess Fender's out for me.

Thanks in advance for the help!
