New ASS BFR - Just Delivered

[maceos]

After taking a few years off from playing I recently decided to get back into the mix once again. I had owned several Ernie Balls over the years so I knew that once I got back in I would be coming back to the brand I love. About a month ago I found a new ASS with a vintage trem online and with the help of a fellow forum member I pulled the trigger. While I love that guitar I started to lust after the BFRs that have been posted here in the forum. Being a fan of the ASS I started looking around and found one I liked online. I decided to pull the trigger as present to myself for my 36 birthday. After waiting almost a week the new BFR ASS was delivered this afternoon. The guitar has exceeded all my expectations. I now want to get another I wonder what the wife will say about that.

Kudos to Ernie Ball/Music Man group for making a fantastic guitar and for making my return to playing that much more joyful.

Dude, great looking guitar, but remember green guitars don't sell, as someone around here said once.

Congrats.

Thanks for all the comments. I've always been a big fun of green guitars and glad I pulled the trigger. I wouldn't mind getting another one, seeing that the don't sell all that well

Love those tight flame tops. How is the tone on the BFR compared to the standard?

I did a very quick A/B between the two and the BFR is warmer than the standard. I'm hoping to test further today if time allows. It also is more aggressive sounding but I believe part of that comes from the fact that the bridge pickup sits a bit higher and therefore closer to the strings. I think I may find some spacers to raise the standard bridge a little higher to see if it makes a difference.

Thats a beauty! Is that the one on eBay that I have been lusting after?

It could be. I originally saw the guitar in the official BFR thread and tracked it down. I'm glad I did!
