Yeah the MF Green was not a very popular color, and had been discontinued, but Benji liked it so we resurrected it for him.

Hello Dan,

As always hope you, your family and Bailey are well, been a little preoccupied with the wedding planning so a little late in posting these!

First- G45018
Second- G20420
Third- G42285

And on the BFR AL maybe you can shed a little light, as usual came from DuBaldo, but when i posted the pics, BP responded and his quote was " that Al is special", well all BFR AL's are but any thoughts on why this one is more special

Thanks and take care,

Keith

I recently swap one of my guitars for a silhouette of my friend, serial number 90500, it's 6 bolts and not sculpted neck joint. HSS, not a silo special. On the neck plate there's 2 men playing guitar logo and serial number in lower position.

Could someone tell me when is this guitar made? 1990?
The original owner changed the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan, which dimazio is the stock spec?

Thanks a lot!

Hi. I just own a 2d hand 97's Axis Sport, with hardtail. I enjoyed when I've try her unplugged (with a Tele style sounding), but I was really surprise when I plugged her (she's my 5th one). So I decided to check the pickups, to be sure they were the original ones. I've only read "di marzio, made in U.S.A.", but no "custom". Are they the right pu ?
Best regards.
(I'm waiting my 6th one... I'm just crazy 'bout that axe !)

Any info you can provide for this JP6 would be awesome.

G41577

Thanks!

Wow Keith, a wedding? Yours, or someone else's? And somehow you still have time to pick up more Music Man guitars - that is very admirable!

Bailey and the family are all fine. He lost some weight so I was able to ease up on his diet a bit, so he is a bit happier these days. That dog loves to eat, like most dogs.

First- G45018 - Axis SS hardtail Natural finish with rosewood board built 1/29/09
Second- G20420 - Axis SS in Stratus Blue (rare color, esp. for Axis type guitars!), maple, matching headstock, shipped originally to Music Center, Kenosha, WI.
Third- G42285 - Your Albert Lee BFR in Quilted Pinkburst, with tremolo, built 05/15/08 - I am not sure why this guitar is any more special - it is one of the first ones made, other than that - ? Maybe it has been blessed with a special kind of magic.
Take care!

Dan

gouqizi, welcome to the Forum!

Yes, your guitar was made on 06/06/90. In those days, we used a 6-bolt neck plate, and there was no sculpted neck joint. We used to offer the Silhouette in 4 configurations - HH, HSS, SSS, and HSH, and the pickguard assemblies were interchangeable (still are) with solderless nylon connectors. It was one of the first to offer that option, you could change pg assemblies for a whole different sound without having to remove the strings - though loosening them was a good idea.

Oh, and your guitar was originally shipped to Jay's Music Center in Augusta, Georgia. Congrats on getting a great guitar!

Thanks Dan!
Next time when I change strings I would see what's the mojo under the pickguard~! I love this guitar!

Thanks as always Dan,

Yes it is my wedding, happening March 18th and never too busy to ad EBMM's

Glad Bailey is happy again, when we get back from the wedding we have to get bunny on a diet and more excercise, shes getting mighty chunky again.

Take Care,

keith
