Is it BBB? I'm not sure but a flamed top pacific blue burst with maple board and natty hs is my all time favorite Axis combo. Beautiful!!!

All natty quilted Axis coming in at a close second.

I love BBB, PBB, and trans Blue on the Axis SS.

The UK distributor has a fantastic pic of one at the moment:

BFR Supersport current stock

Can't go wrong with any blue on an Axis/Sport/Super Sport.

Love them.

i found this here and this is what i had in mind. is there a way to see all color options they offer? and how much of a price difference is there between the regular axis and the axis BRF.

but this is bahama blue burst with maple fret board correct?

No. This is Pacific Blue Burst (PBB), a non-BFR color. See the fretboard inlays as comparison to a BFR?

You should check the Music Man website. i think there are closeups of Bahama Blue Burst (BBB) on the Axis BFR page.

Rule of thumb: BFR = BBB, regular Axis = PBB when you see blue.

PBB has shades of turquoise/green in its which us hard to capture in pictures.

Did you ever actually check the music man website and pricing?

Hit the main music man site, the Axis BFR page show the options, just hover over the BBB colour to see it.

axis-bfr | guitars | instruments

Additionally, the Axis Super Sport BFR page has great BBB pics:

axis-super-sport-bfr | guitars | instruments

EDIT: cm_17 we're on the same page, nice.

You don't see any Axis guitars on the links I posted?

not in the store. i did find the pics of guitars and the BBB was gorgeous. do you know how much more the RFB would run compared to the reg axis?

 

[Sticky1973]

Pete would be best placed to advise on pricing, fella.

Either way, you'll have a very high quality instrument.

Great great guitar.

BFR's cost alot more. The reason they cost more is the inlays on the fretboard and the mahogany tone block plus the more exotic color over the maple top. They tend to use more nice birdseye maple on the bfrs too. But alot of the regular Axis are drop dead gorgeous too!

I had this one in the for sale thread for a few weeks... I gave up and sold it after a day or two on a non Knucklehead forum! This still is the best looking Axis I've seen...beats the BFR I owned for looks and tone too!

How about a NOS Amethyst Burst BFR?

I know of 2 for sale.

A have an amethyst bust BFR Axis, they run around $2500, at least when I bought mine a couple of years ago. I also have a few regular Axis guitars which typically run around $1900. These are just estimates, Pete will give you a more definite answer.
