EBMM has been releasing odd and unique shapes for the last number of years, and I must say, I really dig all these weird new shapes they're doing. Thumbs up to the design-team (and the respective artists) on creating new designs that actually look cool.
What a beautiful guitar!!! Sounds amazing and no buzzing when played in clean modus. Even the name "Butterfly" fits spot on!! Henning, keep up the good work you crazy German dude. Still, like your vids. Animals at the end.
Love it. Two volumes is underrated. My Gretsch is the same, and very common in that brand. Never thought I'd want that feature but when dialing in a sound in your head, it's awesome. Allows you to blend in the smooth neck sound with the treble bridge tone. The white and black look great, although I'm not loving the gold hardware, which no doubt is the reason for the +$100. Also weird, no left hand guitar for a left handed signature artist.
Well you did it. After hearing the chunky tones you got from this guitar, when I came across a used one for sale, I got it. Thanks for the tip! I would have passed it up if I hadn't heard the great tones in this demo!
Some part of me wishes the headstock was also odd shaped! Love the color and the body design...too cool for words! 60 Cycle Hum Ryan's head probably just exploded! Oddly...I really want one! 😎🎸
Guitar is available lefty on Ernie Ball’s website - Vault section. White and Black are more money because of gold hardware. I prefer the pink and green colors as well as the knobs, though pink could’ve been nice with gold hardware.
Wow I love it! Agree with you about the knobs, but that can be rewired. (Also basically agree with you about The Mars Volta, but I respect their musicianship - it's not easy to be a band that plays songs with almost no recognizable structure) Great review! As always!
Picked up a Sterling by Music Man Mariposa as a beginner without any prior knowledge on what a "classic" guitar is supposed to be. Boy to I love the comfortable shape! And the tone coming out of the sub $1k guitar is pretty great too, with nice clean tone without buzz and can go loud and heavily distorted without sounding thin.
I love it! Like a postmodern take on a Jazzmaster. .. But really, it's just an Albert Lee, with some minor reforming. Though I gotta say...every time I see block inlays I think...,"Boy I love block inlays!"
Can I just say (for my 7th and final comment!) ...that I am learning that a guitars' tuning and intonation stability, and whether it's built to "ring" with clear, in tune notes time after time....are the most valuable features to look for. Sooo much more important than flame or caramelized maple necks ,11-piece necks of wenge, jatoba, walnut...etc.... Umm Neck binding. Any binding!! Inlays (shape, material). Anyway. You can really hear this delivers on that front (i.e. the tuning and intonation and clear ringing fronts) Not nearly as visible a feature to value a guitar from behind a utube screen as those other features...but nevertheless, I am learning, are the number 1, 2 & 3 priorities for me nowadays.
Hey Henning! I remember on last week's livestream, I first told you that mariposa means butterfly in Spanish... Well, if I'm the friend who told you that then cool hehe... That's a super and great sounding guitar honestly, very nice indeed.
Henning, how do you find the time to practice?? The back of the neck/headstock area looks amateurish...the way they taped it off to spray the gloss. They should have glossed the back of the headstock only, and none of the neck area. I think you said this is around $2500...I will pass, thanks.🤣🤣🤣👌
Jack the Rabbit Henning is the most underrated axeslinger on Utube, right?! I'd go as far as to say, he is the best shredder on utube ( miles in front of Tyler & Robert Baker - sorry Bob!)
Luey Sixty-six I also really like Jonathan Koh. Check out his playing if you haven't had the chance...but, yeah, Henning has gotten much better over the years.
For real, no lie, I’m listening to this video while walking my dogs and I spot this huge beautiful butterfly fluttering around some gorgeous pink flowers. Coincidence? Yeah, probably. But cool nonetheless. Great video! Cool guitar! Got to get me one!
Update: bought a Mariposa partly based off of your video and I LOVE it! Light, comfortable, awesome neck, and it sounds great (more so when you play it than me but I’m working on it). Got me the Sahara Sunburst and I could look at it and play it all day. Btw, experiment with the middle position and adjust the volume controls for some cool tonal varieties. Admittedly, I didn’t get it at first until I played w/ it for awhile w/ different genres of music - great for 60’s rock tones. Again, great video and awesome playing! The MM Valentine is next! Have you done a video for that?
Awesome as allways Henning, well done👍 You should try out a Music Man Luke 3, my most favorite Guitar of all time. Just stunning an it plays like butter. The internal buffer is awesome und the boost capability is just stunning.
Judging by the Sweetwater photos the case you’re talking about is probably standard. Also this is a total shot in the dark but the black and white have gold everywhere (including the truss wheel) and even the knobs are different so maybe that adds a bit to the cost. Potentially the gold laser etching material is more expensive too? No idea. I kind of like it but I wouldn’t own one since the jack placement would kill me since I sit classical style
I love the shape, love the colour. The headstock doesn't really go with it, but it's the EB/MM shape so I get it. The colour is like a lighter version of the Sky King. I'd engrave my own pickguard, though.... and fit Phat Cat P-90s.
I haven't even finished watching the video yet I just want to shout bravo bravo bravo and of course I know you've probably never heard of Steve Vai ;-) that was super fabulous brother
It's a subdued explorer. There is a lot to like there, really like the color and the pickguard. I am down for another body shape than the classic s shape, but not 100% on board with this shape.
It does sound sensational, no doubt. It reminds me very much of the Albert Lee, a guitar I lust after. One negative for me is no tone control, another is the first volume control is a bit far forward for my taste, easy to catch when strumming. It´s an unconventional beauty!
Not My Style of Body Shape, Neither was the Albert Lee or St. Vincent but it Sounds Real Good!, I think the Valentine, The Silhouette, The Axis Are My Style of Body, I Never Heard a Bad Sounding music man. The Original Sabre was My Favorite!
I respect how nice the guitar is and it sounds terrific but the body style is not to my taste. A little pricy as I’m just a poor boy from a poor family...... Your playing was wonderful... as usual and the vid was very informative. Thanks I always learn something here.
Hallo Chef. Ein Grund für den nicht versenkten Elektronikfachdeckel könnte folgender sein: Ich habe mich bei meiner LTD Eclipse mehrmals grün und blau geärgert, wenn ich ans E-fach ran musste, weil der E-Fach-Deckel derartig stramm in der Versenkung gesessen ist, dass ich den nur mit zwei feinen Schraubenziehern aus einem Uhrmacherwerkzeugset raushebeln konnte. Da besteht dann ständig die Gefahr, den Lack fürchterlich aufzukratzen und man braucht ständig zusätzliches Werkzeug, um das Fach aufzukriegen. Wenn der Deckel nur aufliegt, umgeht man das Problem. Liebe Grüße
The body and the concept are just not that much different from a Gibson Firebird. So not all that weird really. Its even got that country spank at low gain. It doesn't have to be THAT different from a Stingray any more than a Firebird is all that different from an SG. Unfortunately I have too many double H guitars or I'd be all over this one. The funny thing about the review is he says he's not a Lopez fan but coming out of the Marshall and the Orange amps he's pulling off all of Omar's licks. Great overdrive pickups. So much crunch and bite.
When dealing with Omar Rodriguez, the words, "too weird" don't apply. :)

Yeah it’s cool to have something that isn’t a strat or Les Paul copy like just about everything else.
At first I didn't really like the look of this thing, but it's starting to grow on me. Think I've found my dream guitar.
One of my favorite guitarists with probably the most beautiful damn guitar I've ever seen
Listen to some At The Drive In. They were so ahead of their time. Amazing band 🎶🤘
Best sounding guitar I’ve seen you demo. I know you said it’s a prototype but that one wouldn’t be going back.
Not in the slightest weird, actually a really stunning guitar! Goes great with the tone king amp. I want one.
Omar rodriguez did 6 albums with the mars volta, and more than 60 on other projects. You can't reduce it like this after all he has created.
Opening jam is literally some of the best playing I've heard literally. Ever. Imo
What a beautiful guitar!!! Sounds amazing and no buzzing when played in clean modus. Even the name "Butterfly" fits spot on!! Henning, keep up the good work you crazy German dude. Still, like your vids. Animals at the end.

Now with Sterling's version getting into the wilds and player's hands (wild players' hands?), I think your review will attract more attention.
I'm in love. Something about it. Hope to see your thoughts on the new 2021 Sterling version still in Dorado Green!
Badass looking thing. The colour is tasty. Would take one over a stingray 👌
yo yo.... I needs to get some MP3's of all the new stuff.... where do I goeszes??
@@EytschPi42 Go to your Facebook messages and you shall find what you seek, good sir

Absolutely lovely sounding guitar. I really like the design. Looks comfy to play.
Haaaaa, now you know how I feel when I try to pronounce "Friedrichstrasse"
Feel the pain! :-P
Budget version of this announced for the Sterling line, around £500 I think
Watching one on Reverb right now. Super tempted.
Omar is my favorite guitarist, wish I could afford this

that is an exceptionally good looking guitar
Damn that is a lead MONSTER!!! i didn´t expect that at all ... noice :D
9:51 it's probably more the cost of hiring an artist to design such an intricate piece IMO
I’ve never seen a butterfly that color before but it fits 🤘🏽
Hey Henning! I remember on last week's livestream, I first told you that mariposa means butterfly in Spanish... Well, if I'm the friend who told you that then cool hehe... That's a super and great sounding guitar honestly, very nice indeed.
I like it. Love the color. I'd like to see how balanced it is with a strap.
Henning, how do you find the time to practice??

15:13 sums it all up. Great guitars!
What a Great Looking Guitar that is, & the sound is just as it looks!

9:48 that cable yank- marshall head slide effect. Wtf? Hahah Love it
I love this guitar and your playing is awesome
the block inlays and the pickguard... mmmhh... I could do without those
I'm guessing the black and white models have gold hardware that bring the price up
Killer jam man🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
The black and white versions are $100 more because they have gold hardware?? 🎶🎸
The Ibanez sig had a hotrail bucker..
Awesome as allways Henning, well done👍

I like the look of that guitar..Which is kinda funny, because it's not really my style...lol
Nice review and awesome playing🔥
weirdly beautiful!!!
I'd do just about anything for that guitar to have tone knobs, yet I wouldn't want to wreck it by drilling/carving it out to add them
Does it match that Tone King Sky King amp? If matching headstocks is your thing, matching headstock, cord and amp is really cool 😎
I love the shape, love the colour. The headstock doesn't really go with it, but it's the EB/MM shape so I get it. The colour is like a lighter version of the Sky King. I'd engrave my own pickguard, though.... and fit Phat Cat P-90s.
I don't know which is more painful: the 5 fret stretch or the face that he makes while doing it.
Lol
Mariposa =butterfly.
Like that weird thing!
Mariposa = butterfly? Nope
Well, after 48 years speaking native spanish, finally Id realized I was wrong because mariposa dont means butterfly.
Even google translate is wrong.
@@eduardoritos not an universal thing though.. here in brazil, mariposa means moth ;)
@@eduardoritos there are other languages, you know?
@@mleite1 yesh, but Omar is spanish speaker, not portuguese.
The guitar looks like the Burny Vulcan Elite made by Fernandes in Japan and has been for at least 30 years!
I haven't even finished watching the video yet I just want to shout bravo bravo bravo and of course I know you've probably never heard of Steve Vai ;-) that was super fabulous brother
Its also the vague dimensions of the st Vincent. (I mean...as well as the Albert Lee, of course!)
It looks like the pickguard is covering the pickup height adjustment screws on the treble side?
Looks like a happy Guitar. Reminds me of the Albert Lee model. I wish you would do a review of that one
It's a subdued explorer.
There is a lot to like there, really like the color and the pickguard. I am down for another body shape than the classic s shape, but not 100% on board with this shape.
All the MusicMans went up in price a year ago. Tariffs?
I dig it. Reminds me a little of a '60s Danelecto.
You should have just kept playing, cos that bit was really good. This guitar is stunning.
It does sound sensational, no doubt. It reminds me very much of the Albert Lee, a guitar I lust after. One negative for me is no tone control, another is the first volume control is a bit far forward for my taste, easy to catch when strumming. It´s an unconventional beauty!
great playing man
i think the body shape is really cool BUT needs a different headstock.
One of your best intros ever, very pink floyd, even if you claim to know nothing about famous guitar players
Guitar looks good on you young man. Killer jam!
Such a nice guitar! GASSSS
It looks like that time my 5 yr old tried to draw a guitar. Sounds great though 👌 love the pickgaurd!
The sound is great and I like the color, the shape is so lala, but nice guitar.
I can dream...muahahahhah! Looks great, and it sounds great in the video. Animals at the end! :)
Heard the first notes and thought „wow, that sounds amazing!“ :D Really like the design too!
Asian version on the horizon? 😬
Looks like a Teisco Del Rey, my Mom bought at K-mart, long, long ago,sometimes this guy plays pretty freaking good.
thanks!
Not My Style of Body Shape, Neither was the Albert Lee or St. Vincent but it Sounds Real Good!, I think the Valentine, The Silhouette, The Axis Are My Style of Body, I Never Heard a Bad Sounding music man. The Original Sabre was My Favorite!
Do a review of the Music Man Luke model pls!!!

Yeah, it's priced way above its value. It's new and different. So, they're trying to cash in on the niche market.
Hahaha I'm a poor boy from a rich family! Which is somehow even worse!
Its also the vague dimensions of the st Vincent. (I mean...as well as the Albert Lee, of course!)
Its also the vague dimensions of the st Vincent. (I mean...as well as the Albert Lee, of course!)
Nice playing.
They should have called it ‘Schmetterling’
I think they are great
God that's such a... "musical" guitar!
(Seriously, no pun intended)
ORL makes a guitar that doesn't have a left handed option despite the fact he's left handed?
Cheers...
I'm not paid for this review, just given a 4K euro gift - LOL
💀
Look like Albert Lee guitar
That's basically what it is. A ripoff of the Albert Lee guitar.

That's an awesome guitar.
Can you make a review on the Music Man Sabre guitar?
I’d like to
butterfly guitar, Mariposa
Yeessss ! It's a nice guitar and it's MM guitar ...one more in my list !
The body and the concept are just not that much different from a Gibson Firebird. So not all that weird really. Its even got that country spank at low gain.

That intro was filthy.
I like it very much
okoume, that's a lot of money for a plank they normally use for making plywood...
I like it.
Hab mal wieder zum Spass die automatische Übersetzung der Untertitel aktiviert - und YT übersetzt Pickguard als Schweinekunst... 😀
What is "too weird" I love offsets and weird s**t so this is up my alley haha.
You can get the Stingray RS for $750 less....feel wise, sonic wise probably the same guitar.
Lost interest in the axe a long time ago, it's Hennings playing and bizarre banter that keep me watching...
Geeezzzusss you can play
