Welcome! I purchased my Balls without ever touching one before...I've never looked back. Simply the finest guitars I've ever played.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

I had never tried an EBMM until i saw the BFRs come out and my jaw just dropped. I then rushed down to my local music stores and tried to find one. They had a few or the regular JP6s but none of the reserves. It just so happend that the EBMM Sales Rep was in the store at that time...and i got to talking with him. And we agreed the he would send me a bunchov pictures of the BFRs they had in stock. All was going well, until i realised that we hadnt actually talked about the price. BASTARD TRIED TO CHARGE ME £2850! I know these are brilliant guitars, but i doubt i will ever pay near that for a guitar.

So...i started talking to all my American Dealers, shopping around for the best top and the best $.

I found it quite quickly from a good friend and purchased it within days.

I have the serial number, but can't find it on the EBMM BFR Official Pics Thread.

Here it is:
G34510

and a little taster pic (doesnt show the top that well)

Nice score EBMManiac. That top is amazing. I'm sure you'll have many countless hours of playing ahead of you with that beauty. Congrats and welcome to the forum. Stick around.

Hello and Welcome! What a nice way to enter into the family!
That one was probably made before they started taking pictures and posting all the BFRs that leave the factory.

Have fun...we look forward to more pics when it arrives.

Use some discretion
Don't start a thread that says "Hey check out my ESP and Jackson"

But if you post a group shot with the new BFR and say "Hey this BFR looks great next to the rest of my guitbox family" (and that is a cool top by the way) we can understand and appreciate.
