I've been looking for an Emerald burst BFR Ass with a hardtail & maple board for a while. A guy on the forum had one for sale but refused to answer any of my PM's regarding it. Almost 2 weeks ago, I gave up & inquired about ordering a new BFR in Bahama blue. I happened to have a GC promotion of 15% off but was advised that it was only good for "in store" items. I asked my GC rep if he could search their entire inventory & see if there was an Emerald BFR hanging around somewhere"undiscovered". He assured me that nothing was showing up in their entire inventory. I even called AJ (EBMM cust. service) and he couldn't find one either.
i proceeded to hammer several beers and play my 4 existing Balls. After about a six pack, I came downstairs to give my fingers a rest and relieve my bladder. I jumped on the forum quickly, and low & behold, there was a post from BP that was 2 minutes old. It was the post about the EVH at Sherman Oaks GC. I didn't believe what I saw. I immediately called there and spoke with the sales rep. He shot a couple of iphone pics over to me and I made a quick decision to purchase it as an investment. Within seconds of receiving the pics, my phone rang. It was the salesman from GC asking if I wanted the EVH. He had to know immediately as another prospective buyer (Jackson 2112) was also inquiring. I immediately responded in affirmation and the deal was done. The GC rep called me a few other times to let me know how heated things had gotten between the 2 salesmen. He had to show him my initial phone record to prove that I did, in fact, call first. I think I was about 4 minutes ahead of the other caller.
Crazy as it is, 2 days later Icedlatte posted pics of his new AL all rosewood neck. In one of the pics, there was my dream Ball; an Emerald BFR ASS. It had been hanging on the wall of GC Hollywood for nearly 3 years. Again, I panicked and quickly raced to call Adam at GC Hollywood and brokered yet another deal. After hearing my story from the week before, he honored my expired 15% discount. I don't think I can advertise the price, but PM me & I will be happy to tell you how much I stole this jewel for. Here's the pics of my 2 latest and a family shot:
