Thanks for the heads up! Now I really have to decide on that BFR AL.... is it safe to assume that there will be some new colors for the Axis and Y2D as the Axis is left with Trans Gold and Natural and there are no colors for the Y2D?

You gotta be Kiddin me
Does this Mean the entire JP Standard and BFR Line will be discontinued??

Edit: Oh Wait, only the Lefty Models, Right?

 

[Razzle]

Woah, this is gonna be seismic.

 

[GoKart Mozart]

Wow...major shakeup.
So...what color is left on the Y2D exactly?? Maybe I'm reading it wrong...

 

[Dargin]

Sorry, the Y2D will be available in quilt or flame Purple Sunset.

 

[Axis-of-Evil]

I don't want to ask 50 questions but am I reading that the Axis Super Sport won't be available with a piezo anymore??

 

[Dargin]

The reason we are discontinuing finishes is so we can streamline what we are selling vs. what we are offering. These finishes represent a small percentage of what we actually make. Discontinuing these various finishes / models provides us flexibility for future models and custom runs. It has become impossible to stock and offer so many body models, finishes, and pick guards. In the near future you will see many different shapes, sizes, and features on multiple guitars and basses!

 

[Dargin]

I don't want to ask 50 questions but am I reading that the Axis Super Sport won't be available with a piezo anymore??

Yes, it will not be available in piezo.

 

[ozzyrules]

Wow!! I better hold on to my Bahama Blue Burst BFR Ass. Was gonna put it on FS thread

 

[uOpt]

So sorry but that list causes more confusion than anything.

We can't see which models are terminated entirely.

Can you annotate with "colors that are left", if any?

 

[BUC]

Does this mean that now's a really good time to buy a reflex?

I'm excited to see the new models...but the reflex is going away?

 

[Samoht]

So no SSS or MM90 Albert Lee guitars?

 

[Stratty316]

Does this mean that now's a really good time to buy a reflex?

I'm excited to see the new models...but the reflex is going away?

they didn't say the game changer was discontinued so you can still get a "reflex"...

 

[Stratty316]

So no SSS or MM90 Albert Lee guitars?

SSS with Trem wasn't on the list so that looks to be available still.

 

[A.J.]

Wow!! I better hold on to my Bahama Blue Burst BFR Ass. Was gonna put it on FS thread

Of course you should, it's a great guitar!

So sorry but that list causes more confusion than anything.

We can't see which models are terminated entirely.

Can you annotate with "colors that are left", if any?

We will do that when we have a new price list that includes new models. If you have any questions about what is available feel free to contact me directly: [email protected]

Does this mean that now's a really good time to buy a reflex?

I'm excited to see the new models...but the reflex is going away?

Yes, this is correct. Aside from The Game Changer, the Reflex will be going away.

So no SSS or MM90 Albert Lee guitars?

Trem SSS only. No more hardtails or MM90s or BFR.

they didn't say the game changer was discontinued so you can still get a "reflex"...

Correct

SSS with Trem wasn't on the list so that looks to be available still.

Correct

 

[beej]

Wow- big shakeup here. Onwards and upwards guys, I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision to thin the herd. Really looking forward to the new stuff.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Exciting times as EBMM! Looking forward to the new guitars!

 

[Samoht]

Wow- big shakeup here. Onwards and upwards guys, I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision to thin the herd. Really looking forward to the new stuff.

Beej, why do you always have to be so mature? You're right of course, and that thought allowed me not to have a strange overreaction to something that I probably can't grasp anyway. BP, do yo thing! Can't wait!

 

[JasonT]

Wow! That's a lot of changes! I'm surprised the Reflex is gone. I guess it didn't sell well enough.

I'm also surprised that Pacific Blue Burst is gone. That's one of my favorite EBMM colors, and I thought it was a good seller.
