Listen you guys need to know how hard everyone has been working and not sleeping so if they didnt post yet it is because it is probably still in set up.

Please everyone dont react anymore when someone complains about a price when we havent announced one and calls guitars cheesy that they havesnt seen or played. Pics are really hard and these are just seak peaks because we are actually working our asses of to get ready for a show that determines our year. When we get more time we will post cleaner photos. Wish us luck.....I remember the dismal sparkle year...we were so excited and thought we knocked the cover of the ball and we pooped our pants....

I wish I wasn't some plain ol' Joe who can't get into NAMM, I just want to hold one. Can't wait can't wait! I'm getting more excited by the second!

Dang....even with the compressed pics, that blackburst stopped me in my tracks. It's beautiful. GREAT job guys!

Check with your preferred dealer on Thursday for pricing. All BFR's will have "10" tops. We no longer offer the upgrade top option. The pictures are quite compressed to fit onto this forum, so maybe the tops don't "pop" as hard as they do in person. These tops are also stained...

Does that mean on all the other guitars with maple tops, like the Axis, Axis SS and Y2D? The upgrade top option is gone? Just curious.....

Adam, you should have told me you were interested!

Yep, it's g-g-g-g-g-gone!

Well, that changes things.

D'oh!!! I had no flippin' idea. Oh well, you're my source! I'm looking so very forward to the scoop. Thanks for the terribly bittersweet revelation, Pete!

Good Luck to the entire team in SLO (and Coachella).

I guarantee you've sold 1 JP-F1 in Pittsburgh so far. I'll be asking Aziah for build codes after you give the all-clear!

I can't wait until a bahama blue BFR JP-F1 comes out of setup and poses for a purty picture! Then the wait will be ON!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Steve,

I'm almost positive that Bahama Blueburst is gonna be the color for me, too!

Well, Pete... you've always had good taste in guitar colors, what with the Blue Dawn collection and all, so I find your comment very validating!

Man, a quilted JP with a trans-blue finish has been my dream since I first gawked at the EBMM color chart. I'm kind of afraid that I'll neglect my other EBMM's once this baby is hatched, ordered and received!

Gosh, I knew this was going to be a better year than last year. And I just got out from under paying two mortgages, so I might manage to save some nickels for this guitar! (I'd buy it if I had to take a second job flipping burgers, though.)

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

I'm gonna make sure on Thursday afternoon

BP, good luck to you and the crew at SLO and Coachella. Here's hoping you knock the cover off the ball.

I was talking to Frank from Egnater. He basically complimented you and your products, saying they were the most "under known" brand of great guitars. He really seemed to like kneeoh's JP, especially the piezo part, and my 20th.

I hope you get a lot more people to drink the Kool-Aid.

Dargin, thanks for posting pics. Didn't know how busy y'all were, preparing for the show. Good luck! We all know you need more than us Knuckleheads to buy these fantastic guitars and basses.

how about water off a duck's back? couldn't resist
I sure hope the BFR's are a smashing success. They are just so pretty.

I have a question about the maple top...

How thick is it? or is it a veneer? Curious because of the arm contour, I'd think it would have to be pretty slim to be bent.

Cool looking for sure... Resisting GAS.... resistance is futile... ugh

 

[Big Poppa]

Wimps cant bend maple...we ban!

 

[beej]

Well, however ya do it they look great.

Knock 'em dead at NAMM guys! Can't wait for the photos.

Best wishes, BP, and everyone at NAMM. We know it's a big event and thanks for the sneak peak of the BFRs.
