I think because it was too bassy. I love it as well, would love to live in A6, but I really wanted to go to single neck so E13 won out. Bright, snappy, just a bit more versatile. LOVE the deeper bass ... | |

One more thing, if u get a 10 string made, be careful of string spacing. I got mine with 3/8, like my old Gibson, but it's a bit wide. Would go with 11/16, I think that's what it is, or something slig ... | |
