BFR AL - Who's buyin' ???

This is a discussion on BFR AL - Who's buyin' ??? within the Music Man Guitars forums, part of the Gear Talk category; I was in until the Blue Dawn AL fell in my lap, so I went with 08 LE instead...

    Would the Y2D be the Morse BFR already? I guess you would be adding the tone block?

    I have to say, even though the pics of the BFR AL provided by EBMM and others (NorM, etc) are incredible, seeing and feeling the guitar at NAMM demonstrated to me how special of a piece it is. This guitar is just amazing.

    No rumour, just me hoping out loud. That's all.

    They did make Steve a BFR tone wood prototype, but I don't think it went anywhere. I'm just hoping it eventually happens, and if so I'll be lining up early for it

    BFR was going to be whatever MM felt like making- artist prototypes, one-offs. Who knows what cool stuff we'll see down the line.

    Can someone explain, or post a link to what is meant by "mahagony toneblock"? I hate to sound like an ignoramous, but I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. I feel even more stupid as I have a 20th which is equipped with said toneblock.

    I remember reading, that Steve played it somewhere and there are pics of it. Do you remember when and where that was?

    I'm waiting for that exact one too Twan! But i'll take a LE 08 ASS MM90 in the meantime, as well as the BFR AL, that should do for a while i think!!! Gotta be conservative, you never know whats gonna come next, need to have some money put aside!
    My name is Rob and I'm an AL-coholic!
    The MM90 AL is the most underrated axe on the planet!

    I buy my balls from the number one EBMM dealer in Australia, the all round nice guy and legendary Colin!His website is www.guitarplanet.com.au Give him a call to order your balls!!!!!
