Well folks,

It arrived on Wednesday - I've switched on my PC to run backing tracks but other than that my hands have been on my BFR AL!

I F*****G LOVE this guitar, it is simply out of this world ( I am not just saying this 'cause it's a ball)
I admit I was anit-BFR from the start, I even asked POppa if it was gonna be along the lines of PRS private stock - but it 's so not!

The BFR AL is a bit thicker than my other AL's - every guitar I've ever owned combined into this one, I have a habit of playing a guitar before plugging it in , the tone block makes the sound go on forever, I felt like Nigel Tuffnel!

once you plug it in the orgasam of sound carries on - this guitar is simply amazing, I have played the hell out of it for 24hours - I even took it to work!

I can't say enough good things about this guitar, it's amazing, Thank you Sterling for making these, my only criticism is the benefits of the BFR over the regular models isn't publicised enough!!!! - I'm selling 2 of my balls to fund another BFR - and I don't regret spending what I have on this BFR, I often argue I don't have the talent for these tools but SCREW IT! - the sound is like sex, I plugged this straight into my fender hot rod deluxe and it's the best tone ever - I have NEVER had good tone without FX, this guitar is AMAZING!

I cannot say enough good things, and this probably makes no sene but I need to tell people how wonderful it is!!!!

I'm super lucky as this the one from the UK bash that Strummer won, be both put in £50 worth of tickets, and he won, after the bash I think it was bungo and I recreated the draw and it was my ticket! so this is justice!

The fact this is signed by Sterling (twice) , Brian & Scott, makes is super special - I love this more than my Dargie Luke (and i love that a lot!) - this guitar goes with me to the grave.

Thank you Sterling, Thank you DaveB, thanks to Jimmy, Spud, Bungo, Dstocken, and Strummer of course, this means a lot to a guy in the middle of nowhere playing the hell out of his BFR AL!

Texas Finally!
Smelly congrats on a great AL, but you really need to post pics you know the company line, your initial post is just what i have been saying since I got mine from Pete:)

Guys I have said it from the moment I recieved mine and Smelly's reveiw is head on.

Get one and get it now, I know Pete had two the other day and there has been one on the evil bay with peizo, worth the bucks!!!

Great news, glad you have been reunited at last!, I know how gutted you were at the bash.

Smelly, great to hear it's finally in the right hands:)

I think I may have forgotten to tell you this, but I... erm... slept with your guitar...

Smelly'll be busy playing, but here she is in my bed:D
