It's here, and it's beautiful!!!! I must say, this beast was hard to photograph. The color just won't come out right. It's like the Dargie I - you have to see it in person to fully appreciate it. I guess the closest pic to reality is the body shot without a flash. The metal flakes appear to be about the same size as blue dawn. Many thanks to Pete and EBMM for an incredible guitar.

PS: You can see a little of the chicken grease that Pete left for me in the closeup shot (just kidding...it's my fingerprint :)).

I can't wait to plug it in. It is noticeably lighter than all my other guitars - so it will be interesting to see how the chambering affects the sound.

Enjoy!

Bkrumme...Yep - it really is a classy guitar. The thing that surprised me the most was the weight. I'll be interested to know if you notice the same. I can't wait to spend some real quality time with it.

Thanks Slav!

Now I have to clean off all the fingerprints I put on it taking pics. ;)

Mike, nice pics. They really show off the metal flake. I've gotta get my hands on one of these. Congrats and enjoy it! Any chance of some sound clips/videos?

Even the case is sweet.

...and why that type of case and not the plastic flight case? Whats the diff.

This is the case they put the BFR's in (at least all my BFR's are in them). My understanding is they were originally supposed to get the SKB cases, but they were changed to the G&G cases at the last minute.

I think the Barolo is cool looking.... but if they came in Mystic Dream I think I'd be sold already :)
