DuBaldo NAMM Pics '08 fo' real yo.

[Colin]

this is going to be a great year....

You cant please everybody....we introduced the bongo 6, the JP baritone in bfr, new bfr colors, the sterling 5 and the albert lee bfr and the 2008LE, and the BFR rosewood Stingrays...I thought we did a lot...

no complaints from me BP, i'll be ordering several of the new AL's very shortly, look out Colin!!!!! boy does that LE 08 look nice! might even look nicer with a maple board i reckon. i like dark body colours with maple necks.

No complaints here either - everything looks outstanding. The AL, straplocks, wah, etc are all looking/sounding great and the JPB is an innovation that I certainly didn't expect...

Sorry to Don BP for sounding like I was b*tching or making it sound like you "didn't do enough". Didn't mean to come across as whining or anything. It was just my pre-NAMM speculation that something Axis-related was brewing.

I guess that's the problem with thinking out-loud or trying to convey feelings or humor through text on the internet - it's often misunderstood and a couple-few sentences can end up requiring an entire paragraph or two to explain what you meant..

What are my color options for a 08' Albert LE and BFR?

confused consumer

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Still wanting to know the possible AL BFR finishes

The BFR color choice is SSS pinkburst with a natural headstock. You can choose quilt/flame, and trem/hardtail

The 2008 LE is only offered in one color, but you have a choice of natural/painted headstock, SSS/MM90s, trem/hardtail, maple/rosewood

 

[robelinda2]

wow, thanks Pete! so you can actually choose quilt or flame on the AL?!?! seriously COOL!

 

[Sweat]

and I am assuming an LE 08 AL has a peizo option?

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

I did not mention that because last time gold hardware was offered on an LE the piezo was not offered on anything but the JP. I will double-check tomorrow as far as I know it is the same thing this year.

 

[travs]

thanks pete. i want that 08' dark green w/quilt on my next al.

pinkburst what is the history behind that shady shade of pink? some of you lucky
peeps have that color already.

My only complaint is that I now have too many choices!!!!

(But that really isn't such a bad thing! Great work BP and co!! Love ya work.)

Any chance we could get some more photos of that Green BFR Luke? What type of green is it in real life: olive, emerald, etc?

+1 for Muir Woods. A nice selection of hiking trails there and the trees are amazing.
Janice

I'm in San Francisco right now and I went to the Muir Woods Tuesday. I gots lots of love for the Redwood. That thing is B E A U tiful!

 

[jchalas]

From what I've seen of these great pics, the Purple JP6 BFR and the two green quilt tops get my votes. That is *some* color. An outstanding job by the whole EB crew.
Janice

Ohh man, the purple and green kick so much ASS!!!!!

BFR AL looks great. And the 08 LE looks pretty cool, too.

The Bongo 6 is a monster.

Thanks for the pics.

 

[jchalas]

Janice

[NorM]

Sounds like a lot to me. I just want more pics.

More pics coming up!

 

[SteveB]

Poppa, all this new stuff is amazing. Period.

Damn.. now I have to hit the lottery or something so I can score BFR versions of the JP, JP Baritone, *and* Albert Lee! These guitars are begging me to own them!

 

[fogman]
