[lumberjack]

...someone better tell Frogger that 2007 is the year that he better BUY one...



Darrell

Who's Frogger?

I agree Darrell. With all the choices that Foggy is going to have for 2007. He better get a Ball..........or he's banned from the forums.

I come home at 4AM, and there is 5 pages for me to read of these beautifull instrumnets coming up in this 2007 year, closely aproaching (and creeping up) on US.
I am just patiently waiting for the 20th Silo to come into my posession (one AMAzing piece of art), and a "regular" A.S.S. fully loaded. I thought that this would be ultimate instrumentation (phylosophically thinking, but not an actual word), but it seems that this world is better for one self through other good minded people; than one actually thinks!
.....................
What I'm trying to say.........is..that I LOVE EBMM!!!
I shall NOT touch any other piece of wood.....other than a real TREE in the woods, or a Music Man, CRAFTED of natures wood !

Edit: I'm a bit drunk .

 

[robelinda2]

Luke Mapple B.f.r

Since BFR's are whatever the Ball Family wants..Here are the frst two that will be avialable on an ongoing basis. The ordering window isnt until the January Namm. Prices wont be announced until then either.

The new John Petrucci F-1 model. This is a alder bodied, MTB (mahog tone block) with a stunning maple top. THis will only be available in the new JP configuration. THe colors will also be announced at NAMM

THe maple topped LUke....Alder, MTB and maple cap.....colors and any options will be announced at NAmm also

So the crux of this message is that we will be offering what was once just torture to uyou catsorinos next year.....

hello
i'm in France

i wait for a mapple Luke for a very long time( i was suggest some photoshop proto on this forum) and it's impossible to haven't one

'Roubster's' post and 'robelinda2' reply was just too funny! Nice laughs in the mornin' . . . ah that was good.

Cheers

Okay, here we go. Blue Dawn, JP F-1, Maple/MTB Luke... Oooh boy. I think a Blue Dawn AL will have to be the one for me in 2007 if I can only have one guitar, but I want it with rosewood. Unfortunately, when I talked to BP in Dallas, he didn't know if the AL would have rosewood. I might have to be a BD Bongo 4HH or HS instead, but we'll see.

Can't wait to hear the F-1 in action on the new DT album and on tour. Then, of course, there's the prospect of having one. At least, the F1 and the Luke will be around if I can't make it happen in 2007.

 

[roburado]

I'm wondering if the BFRs will have some sort of logo on them to denote that they are BFRs.

I sort of envisioned "Ball Family Reserve" painted on the back of the guitar like "Dargie Delight" or the "Limited Edition 200x." I can sort of see a John Petrucci signature on the back of the F1 with a little F1 car zooming along.

Can't wait to see what BP and the boys have cooked up for this.

 

[Jonny Dubai]

Lovin your work BP and co. Just great news from a company that has guitar/bass players at heart.

Cheers,

Jonny

I just registered specifically to chime in and ask about a seven string version of the Petrucci F-1. I'm looking to buy a new high end guitar shortly after NAMM and if the F-1 is available in a seven I'll be buying one.

The short answer is that only EBMM and Petrucci will be able to tell you. I don't know if they even have had that discussion with John Petrucci yet. I asked Sterling Ball in Dallas last week if he had any clue when the F1 would be available. He intimated that he didn't even know when the F1 would be out, because he hadn't had an opportunity to talk to JP about it since JP returned from the South American G3 dates. They may have talked since. It seems likely, but I just want to say it's also quite likely Sterling doesn't even know the answer to your question yet.

Thanks, that's what I figured. I just wanted to add to the chorus to express interest in a seven string version of this as it's gorgeous I've been hoping for a non-basswood Petrucci seven for ages.

You are getting the news as we develop it...We are working on the seven string F-1 proto but no promises until the process is completed

Congratulations all of you.

I love you, man!

 

[Rossie]

At least it's in January!
The wait isn't too long away!

I hope that the waiting period after placing my order won't be getting longer and longer and longer...

 

[robelinda2]

well i'm guessing/hoping the wait is gonna be at least 7 or 8 months, gives me time to save!

really looking forward to the announcement of the Luke options.

 

[Zaarin]

Nice BP! I want a 7 string and that would just be freaking awesome!
