OK Here it is....There will be a glossy and glitzy formal announcement shortly...
But we have created a new level of dealer. It is called the Music Man Global Premier Dealership. What we have done is identify the best Music Man dealers in the world and developed a program for them to get special pieces, meet and greets and the ability to get first call on one offs. We are also working on alternative ways of distributing these in Europe in particular that will reduce the cost slightly.
We are launching this with the true Gold Rose Wood Luke Guitar.
BTW Pete and Colin are among the first of these dealers.
Now wait for the details....
Before you act all let down this is a significant development for you guys to get limited runs Globally...Before they were just Guitar Center and maybe the odd run for Japa.n and England
I know the dudes that own/run Guitar Guitar in the UK. They approached EBMM at NAMM stating they were wanting to be a major UK Dealer for EBMM and that they would stock all EBMM models ... now i wonder (read : hope) they will be one??!!
EDIT: I've been bugging Dargie, AJ, and Billy about making special Indy-only runs for a few years; thanks for listening and thanks BP for making it happen!
That's a great announcement. I live in Europe and I welcome that announcement!
Could you make it in a way that "reduce the cost slightly" becomes significantly?
There's so many people in Europe that would gladly pay the american price for an EBMM, but by having to pay around double, ends up buying something else. Also for standard models...
By the way, I vote for all lefty models to be considered "special pieces".
This is serious News! Thank you for the Luke RW True Gold BP. I cannot wait to order it. Luke really signing the back? The Global ordering is huge as well. Dealers like Colin deserve it. I'm going to have to drive down across the boarder now because Pete D.will be putting on the Clinics!! What a great day!
