    BFR AL - Who's buyin' ???

    Ok

    So Dargin very kindly posted and put the rumours to rest - so who, (APART FROM ROB!)

    is ordering - I've sorted all my car problems and the live earth guitar was blown out my price range before I woke up so got me some BFR AL cash (UK RRP TBC!)

    Who else is going for one...????

    As for there only being one colour - DAMN RIGHT - why would you want to mess with that perfection.....

    It does look awesome, but I'm happy to say I'm sticking with my original pinkie (and saving for that BFR Morse down the road ...). If it mysteriously disappears then put me down for one.

    before I answer...

    what does the BFR upgrade get you on an AL.

    I see:

    upgrade top
    BFR badge

    anything else?

    It gets you pinkburst, which you can't get any other way. And the BFR stuff too.

    I'm still trying to decide how many to get! Maybe SSS hardtail piezo, plus SSS trem, i dunno.
    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!!!!!

    I doubt if I'll get one as nice as it looks - too much for me (I'm guessing)

    I'll be getting a second hand something or other though!!

    the toneblock. Okay, that makes it a MJR upgrade and not just cosmetic diff. NOW, wer'e sounding JUICY>>>>

    Unfortunately, I'm out. I decided in NOV not to wait. I needed my AL by June. I have a run of summer shows and couldn't chance waiting and hoping that the BFR would make the deadline. RAD RED is close to pinkburst, aint it??

    It's beautiful, but I think I'll be happy with the stock colours.
    I'm going to save my BFR richness for another offering.
