The old rumour was EBMM lost money on each one so stopped production, these where at the time musicmans attempt at what prs have done with the S2’s, made in the same factory but with OEM pickups, tuners and bridges. The textured finish meant they could spend less time sanding and the painted maple necks meant they could use lower grade aesthetic maple.
Ive had silos in the past which is what this is most closest too but these feel lighter and more nimble to me. I definitely want more.
HNGD, I love the colour and the treadplate guard.
So if the guitars are like the basses, poplar body which is what they used on the solid colour full fat ones, maple neck, painted to hide poor figuring as per alnico and proper bits.
Absolutely stunning instrument with cost cutting in all the right areas. I think sales understandably went mad and cut into the real ones sales figures.
Nice find, play it a lot
I have on just like yours, except in the Dark Blue finish. Great guitar and if you find a cheap one an absolute bargain.
The feel is just like a Silhouette I had years ago, but obviously without the contouring. I keep watching out for a trem model too as a pair would be great.

Happy NGD @grungebob !
Think I still have the neck pickup somewhere if you ever decide you want to make it a HH.
Also stripped and waxed neck was a joy to play!
The guitar's getting well used and gigged fairly regularly. I swapped out the bridge pickup for an Irongear I had in my parts drawer and it definitely sounds better than the stock one (to my ears anyway).
I'll let you know if I decide to move it on but atm it's going nowhere!
