Yes. They've done away with bfr inlay and have instead gone with a neck plate at the joint with the bfr insignia there.

thanks for reply, BTW it's a bad news for me,
BFR inlay is very good-looking for me

I liked it too.

Me, too.

But, just as many people didn't care for it.

They can't win! People either love it or hate it when they make a change

I must admit in the begining I didn't like it, now I'm used to it and actually love it.

Good thing about the 12th fret inlay is that your guitar is immediatly recognisable, there is a huge 'wow factor' in it. My band mate said when he first saw the 25th 'wow you got your self a BFR !!!! '

I would have thought if BP loved it then it would have stayed. Shame it was a nice touch.

There was a thread a while back about this and it seemed as if most people liked it.

 

[Benji Peterson]

I love it and my OCD is going to go off a little when future balls don't match my current collection.

 

[Dr.Strangenote]

I liked the bfr inlay too.

I liked the bfr inlay too.

I'd happily pay an upcharge to get the BFR inlay on my future guitars. I love it that much. It looks classy to me. I love the font, especially the capital B.

There are people who never considered a BFR because of the inlay who will now start to look at them with the intention of purchase. I also wonder if it saves $$ not having to have an entire different run of fingerboards from the exact same wood sources just to put an inlay at the 12th fret for one batch.

Whatever the reasons, I'm sure they are well founded. Some people prefer the clean look on the fretboard combined with the subtle nature of monikering a BFR on the neck plate. YMMV.

I like the inlay because it seem big different between JP6/7 and BFR model,
I would take more $$ for 12th inlay with my future EBMM guitar too...

 

[TSHOW]

I loved it too....I think those who didn't like..,probably did not want to pay for a BFR anyway...

I always liked the inlay and like something different on the 12th fret of any guitar
