New BFR's don't have matching headstocks?

I should have answered that we were the only company dumb enough to think that we could match stain color on maple and mahog and have it come out everytime....

I don't see why folks are getting so worked up - IT's ONLY PAINT!

It won't help you play faster
It won't help you get chicks
It won't increase the value on the instrument
It's not going to make you weird in the band,

DIFFERENT IS GOOD! - I have balls with matching and those without, when I'm playing them I don't notice, and when I'm not playing them they're in the case.. yes matching looks nice, but it's hardly the most important thing on choosing an instrument no??? -
As an aside I see 'anoter' company is doing limited runs of matching headstocks right now, yet we've had the choice for years, and we still bitch....

For everyone who's moaned about the lack of paint, I submit that you possible have too much free time, perhaps a boost in fibre intake?? just my 2 cents.

I agree with Smelly... its only paint...

Why don't we do something more constructive with our time? I say we pick on the Mutant Ink Draggers again!!! Come on... who has a good Lefty joke????

Yes, I agree with Smelly.

The problem here is that we're spoilt. We have so many great instruments to choose from, all are supremely made, the best customer support in the business and our very own forum. And, the head of the company regularly contributes to the forum! I don't think you'll find that with the likes of Fender or Gibson.

Perhpas the only issue here is that the change wasn't communicated or we missed it.

Apart from that a BFR is to die for. I'm hoping to get my Luke BFR very soon but the 25th is giving it a tough time right now.

Let's remember, our friends at EBMM need constructive criticism in order to help them understand our needs better so let's make sure we don't start using our forum to give them a kicking - we're all better than that.

I don't think any of us really have an appreciation regarding production and the decisions made every day to keep the wheels moving. We'd all like a "special - one off" EBMM but the guys have to weigh up commercial viability too. After all, if they spent thousands in development only to sell 5 guitars someone has to pick up the tab. And they don't want to lose our business by pricing these amazing instruments at PRS prices.

So come on, think before you type because we need EBMM in our lives and we like to remain one big happy family.
