Glenn,

Yes I do like the bound neck, never had an issue with any brand and bound necks. The EBMM one is classy IMO. Plus I love that the pieces are limited. My current EBMM collection are very limited pieces.

In the UK sucks has wayyy different meaning - i.e. here it means its terrible

It means the same in the USA as well, but on the forum it's a bit of a joke.

When the first JP6 BFR guitars came out the depth of figuring was incredibly difficult to photograph, and there were some terrible photos taken by owners & dealers. Naturally the internet reacted in an extreme fashion claiming "that top sucks" - this eventually prompted EBMM (for a time) to photograph all the BFR models prior to them leaving the factory, and "that top sucks" became a joke here due to the high quality and beautiful figured maple. EBMM even made a BFR shirt with "that top sucks" on one side, and the BFR logo on the reverse.

Pete's explanation is spot on, it is a joke on the forum Wish I still had one of those BFR That Top Sucks t shirts, wore mine totally out.

Keith I still have mine I believe I'll try to locate it and take a picture.

And it arrived today, perfect, thanks Pete:) Still think this needs a reissue, different colors for the t shirt, maybe the BFR label on the front using the new neck plate font and the back with multiple sayings maybe like, this top sucks,my pin ball Morse, it is sparkly etc.
