I did it...Axis BFR coming.............soon?

[rockerjt]

Hey All;

Just got off the phone with my guy at Bizarre Guitar in Reno, and I cancelled my order for a Historic Les Paul and applied my money to an Axis BFR in Blackburst (Quilted). I don't think he will place the order until tomorrow, so obviously I have no idea how long my wait will be, but it is cool as I have my current Axis to keep me company in the mean time.

After playing Les Pauls and SGs for years, I never thought I'd play anything else. I got my Axis and fell in love with it. I play so much better on it than I have on ANY guitar from my past. I played a Les Paul today and realized how much harder it was to play, and how much it has been holding me back from a technical standpoint. I decided at that point to add more EBMM's to the pack instead of Gibsons, and figured the BFR is the way to go. Plus I am going to save $2K.

So, I guess I am an Axis user for life.

Great choice, I wish a Axis hardtail was a choice I would be all over it, congrats on a fine choice

$2K is a HUGE difference for probably a better built guitar.

No probably about it; better company, better guitar.

Buying a BFR and SAVING money...now that's cool!
I was just in reno/tahoe this past weekend. Wish I'd known about a guitar place while I was there.

On a side note the Grand Sierra Hotel (formerly a hilton) is a steal at around $60/night. Stayed there Sunday night.

congrats on the BFR Axis. I'm thinking a BFR Axis SS with rosewood board in purple would be cool

I thought it was an option on the BFRs, no?

Yeah, Bizarre Guitars is ther, on Oddie Blvd. They are a fantastic Guitar Store, one of my favorites. Lots of old and new inventory, really good quality stuff there. Tommy Skeoch (ex-Tesla) took me up there once, and it's been my favorite place since. Both Tommy and Frank Hannon shop there a lot.

What about the Super Sport?

Congrats on the guitar, I think Blackburst looks amazing with the cream binding and knobs and everything.
