I found this video of JP playing a Dargie BFR
I think it's really cool, so I wanted to share this video with you guys hoping you haven't all already seen it

I just love it when he says that these tricks make your speed go to the next level: the hyper-speed level

but I think that only the dargie bfr can go to hyperspeed level

I had a girlfriend once who told me that faster isn't necessarily better!!

well, that video makes me want to burn my guitars and take up croquet or something. He is unreal.

Yeah I can play that fast but then I wake up!!

Thats what happens when you listen to Dream Theater on your iPod whilst going to sleep, you think its actually yourself!! haha well I do

croquet is at least at a more human pace.

I think that the dargie bfr is a killer guitar, it's got killer looks and the tone and playability of the bfr...what else could we want?

Don't be silly, send them to me instead!!

If everybody gave up because someone else was better there'd only be 1 guitarist in the world.......plus I guess you'd stink worse at croquet!

She was referring to your 1 minute duration, not how fast you were going !

I see the art of subtlety is dying!

Did a Dargie BFR ever exist?

Did a Dargie BFR ever exist?

I don't believe so. It was just a special color and fret inlay with a short time window to order. I don't believe it fell under the BFR context. Many call it a Dargie BFR because, IMHO, it was a unique and limited run product.

But if you look at the guitar you can clearly see that it's a bfr.
The thin horn, no arm scoop and bigger body..
the one he's playing in the video is not a regular dargie delight

I think the Dargie JP is using is the Dargie BFR. I believe it's a JP6 BFR painted in the Dargie Delight color with the special inlays. When people say Dargie BFR, I think that's what they're referring to. I could be wrong though, because I'm not sure of the whole story behind the guitar.

You could be right. I have to check the vid again to make sure...but..I am getting older and the eye sight is not that sharp anymore.

However, the body style was re-done and that applies to all JP's I believe. Not just the BFR...or, am I off my rocker again?

Pretty sure that only BFRs got the mini treble horn and lack of arm scoop.
