Question L3 BFR Question

[mikeller]

Looking at pictures of the Hazel and Blueberry L3's - the Hazel finish has a thin black outline around the maple top, but I don't see that on the Blueberry.

Just curious if it really is there on the Blueberry and not as visible because of the darker finish, or if it is only on the Hazel finish?

It's there on the blueberry it's just a lot more noticeable on the hazel finish

My blueberry JP15 has a similar thin, dark band under the maple cap. It is largely obscured by the darker finish around the edge, though, as Nathan said.

 

[mikeller]

Thank you. I figured that was the case, just couldn't tell for sure.

This is about the best pic I could get of the line on my JP. The lighting has to be just right to even see it.

 

[mikeller]

I can see that now - thank you. I think that is a really classy touch.

It's there. It's a layer -- maybe 1/16" or 3/32" thick -- of ebony (I think) sandwiched between the maple top (1/8") and the body.

Very cool touch.

I've got a couple of carvins with that...it's a nice touch

Another questions on blueberry burst - I have seen pictures where some appear to be a very dark blue (for example the quilt top HH on Sweetwater right now which I am told is true to the guitar they have), and some appear a brighter blue (such as dibhart77 2015-12 shown here: http://forums.ernieball.com/ernie-b.../61861-nyngd-guitar-days-nyngd-2015-12-a.html

Are there variances in that finish, or is it lighting and camera?

My photo is also true to my actual guitar, too.

Yours is very beautiful I much prefer that to the very dark navy. Thank you for confirming
