First Post AND first EBMM guitar

[ThatDude]

After looking for a good few years, I finally pulled the trigger on my first. A brand spankin' new Axis BFR model. I originally from San Luis Obispo, so Its pretty special to own a guitar from the same place.

*I think* its Blue Berry Burst
Quilt top is amazing, The neck is amazing, The guitar is just amazing.

cheers

Yes, unless the body is already mahogany.

Its pretty light. It must be the typical basswood, but with the mahogany block like you said

They pulled out 5 Axis BFR's for me to try and they were all such high quality, it came down to which top I liked best lol

Yup - it's an embarrassment of riches picking out an EBMM, ain't it!
