John Petrucci BFR Pics!!!!!!!!

[lpcoco]

The time for production of the 20th Anniversary Silhouette has already ended.

I think the only way you'll ever see that particular burst offered is if John Petrucci himself gives the go-ahead. That's generally the way the artist models are handled at EBMM.. whatever the artist wants, they get!

It's GOOD to be an EBMM signature artist!

I'm very far far away to have that statement
I have to talk personnaly to JP on his next visit in Quebec

And suplier him on my knees to add this colour to its BFR model.

SteveB I like your avatar.

lpcoco,

Thanks for the compliment about my avatar. I love the look of that guitar!

I should clarify my earlier post. The time for ordering 20th Anniversary Silhouette has ended, but the factory may not have produced all of the ones that were ordered yet. I hope not, for the sake of Sigmund's Couch.. who is still eagerly awaiting his 20th Silo!

Okay so far, I have a question;

The JP F-1 will be released as a part of the BFR!?
So it will be available in 4 different colors and a quilted or flamed top!?

In addition there will be released a "standard" JP F-1 Model?
If that´s correct, where are the differences between the standard one and the BFR one?

The F1 is a BFR... 4 colors, quilted or flamed top.

I thought that it was already answered... Mahogony necks have to have some sort of finish on them... I know I can't think of a guitar that has ever had an unfinished Mahogony neck anyway.

It won't feel any different than the Ibanez JPM did once the satin was worn smooth really. It doesn't seem all that shocking to me I guess.

Gosh, I just can't wait to hear one... When JP brings out the proto on Score, you can litterally hear the differnece... but now that it has a mahog neck... I really wonder how it will sound.

Oh, I hadn't read that. I didn't even realize the neck was mahogany. I love the prototype's tone. I was at the Radio City show when he brought it out and the tone is defintely more vintage than normal. But that one had different pups than the F-1.

When do the order books open?

[robelinda2]

i went to see my dealer today, but the distributor had no info on the BFR's yet, i figure its too early, but i'm so keen!

"ERNIE BALL HAS BEEN BERY BERY GOOD TO ME"

I love this color.

what is the price expected to be on the JP LE?

[Lou]

Dammit! I don't know if I'd rather have a LE or a BFR....

[rmh925]

I have the same dilema i like them all, but of course i can't not at the same time....I do love that Blue Dawn LE JP man does it look sweet...(nice case too)

To answer Bierschinken question there will be a BFR and the standard model of the JP F-1...The BFR version will just have an upgraded top in other words LE, and they will be releasing them little by little from what i have gathered.

I'm not sure that is correct. I believe that all F-1's are BFR's. They are considered "standard" BFR's along with the BFR Luke in so much as their availability won't be a limited run. They will be continuously available but fewer in number than the stock JP and Luke. EBMM no longer offer "upgrade tops" as they are all "10" tops from now on.

[rmh925]

Maybe your right kneeoh.....I just thought that they were going to be available as a standard model, and on the upgraded tops i did know that they are not available anymore i was just comparing to a standard and a BFR model if there is going to be a standard model of the F-1 i'm still a little confused on BFR, but will see after my dealer gets back from NAMM and comes back with all the info....

[mesavox]

There is nothing to be confused about the BFR... the F1 is part of the first run of BFR's that includes a Luke as well. The F1 is totally a different instrument than the regular JP or any LE. LE's are a standard model with different finishes and trim, and now 12 fret inlay.

In short, the F1 is a BFR period. There is no other version of the F1.

Both of the two BFR threads provide all the information that exists on them by EB higher ups. You might reread them with your specific questions in mind... that might helpe you find answers more specified to what you are wanting when you order.

Thanks for the info mesavox, and i have read the thread on the BFR,S as i,m on the forum everyday that's why i thought the f-1 was going to be a standard issue model and not a limited edition model that was what i was confused about, but just like steveb said on this thread lets just wait and see after the NAMM show is done and smoke clears, and we get our questions answered.....I just hope this will end on this....thanks
