Question Jp6 bfr f1?

[yellowv03]

Hey guys I am just wondering what the F1 denotes? Was it just a model name for the earlier BFR's or are the F1's something different? Just wondering. Thanks

They USED to have that name attached, but legal issues forced them to change it. Do a search; you might find the original thread etc. I can't even remember what company it was that "required" it : \

Was just watching a Petrucci video and he calls it the f1 because it's like a formula one car as its really fast playing.

It was like an F1 racecar. It was supposed to mean it plays really fast. They took the name away due to some legal issue, as 73hNils has said. No big deal. Same guitar.

The FIA which is the world governing body for formula 1 had issues with them using it so they had to stop attaching it earlier on when the BFR,s first came out as far as i remember but im open to correction if im wrong!

I actually thought it was some random manufacturer of something you wouldn't expect to have the F1 tag associated with them. I don't think it was the FIA.

That was just a name for the prototype, and the production model was never called the F1. It couldn't legally be called the F1 because of the F1 guitar pick with trademarked name.
