BEHOLD! Karl's New EBMM Ball Family Reserve JP7 (Photos Galore)

zimbloth · 06-24-2008, 06:08 PM

I recently helped my buddy Karl Hungus acquire his dream guitar, an emerald quilt EBMM Ball Family Reserve 7-string. I scored it on his behalf and I'm going to be installing BKPs for him as well.

Here it is! What a ....ing GORGEOUS guitar. I didn't play it yet but damn what an incredible neck profile. This really does look like the $3000 guitar it was.

Seedawakener · 06-24-2008, 06:09 PM

Are you ....ing kidding me?!... Karl... I'M COMING TO GALWAY THIS SUMMER JUST FOR THIS! So ....ing awesome!

See you in a month or so! (Most likely!)

That's really rather beautiful, and I bet it plays well and sounds great too...

wannabguitarist · 06-24-2008, 06:21 PM

Beautiful

I played a regular JP7 over the weekend and the neck/trem are the best I've ever played on a 7

Karl Hungus · 06-24-2008, 06:52 PM

Oh, and I have to thank Nick for posting this thread and taking some decent pictures, because we all know that my camera facilities are lacking severely, so if I had waited to take pics myself, they would only be 19.5% as beautiful.

kmanick · 06-24-2008, 06:57 PM

Damn that is gorgeous!!
Nick I need to come by and check this thing out before you ship it to Karl.
I've never had the chance to see one of these in person before.
pm me.

Crucified · 06-24-2008, 07:14 PM

No, it's a mahogany neck and body with an alder block or something.

Karl Hungus · 06-24-2008, 07:28 PM

Alder body with mahogany tone block, and a mahogany neck.

yellowv · 06-24-2008, 07:29 PM

Man that is awesome. After playing around with my cheap ass OLP I really want the real thing. They are just the perfect feel and shape. The only thing I don't like is that they can't have the awesome body cut b/c of the top, but that top damn sure makes up for it.

Mahogany neck, alder body, and the "secret" mahogany toneblock.

Nevermind... Karl beat me to it...

I'm playing it right now, it has the body/arm contour thing, it's just not as drastic as say an Ibanez. This thing has the nicest neck profile I've ever seen. I'm honestly jealous, amazing.
