Bye bye bfr finishes

[mr.b]

gutted! the green flame-topped luke BFR was THE nicest looking guitar i've seen.

 

[robelinda2]

Interesting! I was thinking that there were a lot of colours available and which ones were selling, dont see many green or walnut out there.

 

[Oh3AreSicks]

I'm glad I got mine then because I totally love the color!

 

[YtseJam92]

That's too bad but hey, gotta do what's needs to get done.

Glad I bought mine when I did.

 

[brasco68]

Oh3AreSicks...that top is just sick! What a great looking axe...I'm envious.

 

[RocketRalf]

I liked the purple, specially in a flame top. Oh3AreSicks' guitar is a very fine example. At least there's cherry burst now.

 

[mesaboogieman]

Glad I got the Tobacco Burst when I did -- love that finish. My Bahama Blueburst is awesome too.

 

[fatkatz77]

I am glad I got my Amethyst burst when I did. Too bad you are discontinuing the emerald burst. I would love to have a guitar in that color.

 

[SteveB]

I'm a little bummed to see Amethyst burst go since that is my birthstone.. but then, I certainly trust EBMM's business acumen. Plus, they always come up with more awesome colors to replace any that are retired.

I wish my purchasing power could keep up with the colors and models though! Man, I'd still love a pinkburst or Blue Pearl AL.. a Cherry or Amethyst Burst BFR JP6.. a Blue Dawn silo.. Koa luke..

It's been a few years since I've had the scratch to buy a new EBMM but I've managed to hang on to the ones I've bought, so that's a bonus. Maybe after the 'great kitchen remodel' I'll be able to stash some cash away for more MM goodness.. but I digress. Farewell, Amethyst burst.

 

[Big Poppa]

not to mention...it might help the dealers whom have been sitting on them, to help the move if they are discontinued...in which then they'd reorder more guitars.

brilliant move.

howd you get that avatar pic?

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Steve, if your collection isn't growing that's ok as long as it isn't shrinking! Kitchen remodels are never cheap, nor are they easy.

Amen, brother.. the Jenn-Air double oven was delivered this morning.. that could have been a BFR! Ugh.

 

[marduke]

damn.... tobacco was the next one i was going to order, but cant for afew months.. and now i cant order it at all... ohwell i guess you gotta do what you gotta.
tobacco is the only real BFR colour i want (well apart from cherry burst but im still on the fence with that one). its a shame they didnt sell very well, i thought for sure that they would be at the top along with bahama blue and black.
but if its what you have to do to keep costs down then thats what has to be done

 

[DavidOfOz]

D'oh! My next order was going to be a Luke in Emerald Green. (Hmmm...this is probably fate telling me I should stop spending so much on guitars!)

...Or...maybe the choice between Emerald Green and Koa just got easier. (Please don't tell me that Koa has been discontinued too!)

 

[Sweat]

Oh well all good things must come to an end, glad i got the amethst when i did, plus new things happen and discontinued things add up in resale value eventually

I need a pic of all your present guitars, Keith....I really can't keep up....and I am trying to. Not keeping up by buying guitars....keeping up by knowing what you've got..... I usually like everything you buy.

 

[DaPatrooch]

Very surprised about Tobacco Burst, thought that was popular on the JPs. Oh well I probably wouldn't be able to get one for several years anyway.

Out of curiosity, was Tobacco Burst on the BFRs the same as the standard Tobacco Burst on the Axis, ASS, etc.?

 

[agt]

I'm sad to see walnut burst go. My favorite finish. Ever. I'm glad I bought my walnut burst BFR ASS. I just hope Koa stays until I can afford another purchase! After that, it's a ruby burst Luke on my GAS list ...

Good luck BP, I am sure that any finishes to replace these are going to be equally beautiful. EBMM has changed finishes over the years but all of them have been killer. Can't wait to see what's next!

 

[DrGonzo5150]

Got to do what you got to do...
But i am sad to see Amethys go, love purple!
Can't wait to see what's next

 

[Josh O]

Get em while you can.........

Wow, the one on the right sure looks familiar!
