    First BFR Luke in Australia...

    She arrived today!!!! (Photos follow...if they don't show up, you can see them here.)

    BP and co, you make a killer guitar (understatement)! Colin, thanks again for everything!

    Colour: Ruby Burst (The top is really hard to photograph…can’t do it justice or get the colour how it is in real life!)

    Thanks guys...I'm very happy with this little gem. (Two weeks ago, I'd given up hope of owning a BFR, so I'm still in a state of disbelief!)

    It plays beautifully...so comfortable. I've been playing an old Ibanez Roadstar II for decades and it has a wider/fatter neck and fatter frets. Not a bad instrument, but playing the BFR Luke made me realise I have been fighting with the Ibanez. The Luke feels effortless in comparison. I started playing the new Luke last night...could not put it down. Such a pleasure to play.

    As for sound, makes the poor old Ibanez sound a bit dull and thin! To be honest, I haven't had time to experiment with the Luke's sound as much as I'd like to, but will do so tonight.

    Make it the south-eastern suburbs, and I'll be there regularly!!
