Question Any talk of plain-top or solid-colour BFR-type guitars?

[darren]

I really like the wood combination in the BFRs (alder+maple with the mahogany tone block) but i'm really not all that into fancy tops these days. Has there been any consideration of offering the same "tone recipe" in a plain top or solid-colour finish option?

What do you mean by plain top?

 

[bkrumme]

I'm assuming plain top means maple, but not figured.

The new Dargies are a start. I think I heard there will be some solid-color options coming as well, but I have no evidence to back that up.

Plain top as in the color that you may choose for the standard Pet models.

I'm not aware of any solid color BFR's with the exception of the Dargie II's and the one-offs that John has.

I wanted a solid color BFR as well which is why I ordered my two Dargie II BFR JP's.

My Silo Special BFR is solid pearl white.

And my Silo Special BFR is solid sterling silver.

I guess more to the point, i'm wondering if there any plans to bring these into more regular, non-limited production. The Dargie IIs do look quite nice, but they're limited in number and only available in one colour.

Plain top means non-figured maple, with a simple transparent finish or burst. Solid colour is opaque paint like on the production JP models.

You could go with the GR --- Solid Gold Baby!

I can get behind what Darren is saying; I too prefer a simple solid color generally, though I do appreciate a great top. Solids just fit my personality and style best.
