NAMM 2015 PICS! LIII BFR, Majesty Artisan, JP15, and more!

[dave1812]

Now, the most important question for me is,
Will EBMM attend the Musikmesse aswell?!?!?
I want to see those Gorgeous Guitars myself.
I hope that F&#%$ng Moron who stole the JP15 didn't ruin it for us Europeans, to get a chance to see those beautys!
Pretty Please with Sugar on top, tell me EBMM will be there

Yea, must be...right now the one labelled Rosso looks more like this: View attachment 27000 (Marrone?), while I thought it would look far more like this: View attachment 27001

While the one labelled Marrone looks far less like the first pic and way more like the black one :S

EDIT: As per Music Man's website update with finishes listed:
From left to right: Nero, Azzuro, Marrone, Rosso, and Viola.

Ahh, Marrone / Rosso got mislabeled. I'll upload more later on.

What's the deal with the stealth JP? Have I missed something? One-off or production?

There are 3 new colors for the stealth package (in addition to the Black), Crimson, Pearl, and Charcoal.

This package makes it possible to now order a white JP with black hardware and ebony board!

Man...very cool. That LIII BFR is super tempting. And, cool options for the stealth hardware!

Pete....are the LIII BFR HSS models going to be available with Chrome pickup covers, or silver pole-pieces, or will they all have black covers and pole pieces?

Artisan group shot!

Left to right, confirmed with Billy @ MusicMan

Nero (black) - Azzurro (blue) - Rosso (red) - Viola (purple) 7-string - Nero (black) 7-string) - Marrone (brown) JP15 - Majesty in Gold - JP15
(the red and purple look very similar under the direct lighting of the display, but the colors/names are correct)

The HSS models will continue to have black covers and pole pieces, as shown on the blueberry Luke.

Great pics, Pete! Thanks for sharing.

Can you order silver sparkle on any guitar?

Pretty much! Silver Sparkle is offered as a standard color on guitars excluding the Armada, LIII, y2d, GameChanger, and BFR series (including JPX, XI, etc)

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

What Spud said - can we get an "I spy with my little eye" update on the amps since you're there to press the flesh?!

[fogman]

Yay!!!
Do we have specs?

 

[bhull]

Thanks for the pics.

It was nice to attend NAMM virtually through the forums

 

[mesaboogieman]

Excellent pics! Thanks for posting Pete!

Thanks for sharing , Pete , you did outstanding job !
Have one little question : any info about new L3 BFR pricing and when they will hit the stores ?
Thank you

 

[kimonostereo]

Will there be any new colors for the Axis Semi-hollow or Reflex line this year?

Thank you

The Luke BFR list prices are as follows:

Luke w/ HSS EMG $3750 Flame, $4000 Quilt
LIII w/ HSS Transitions $3850 Flame, $4100 Quilt
LIII w/ HH Transitions $3800 Flame, $4050 Quilt
Contact your preferred dealer for an official price quote

Typical build times are 3-4 months but new models often take a month or two longer. I would tentatively estimate some time in May to be safe - once EB starts putting the new orders into the system we will have a better idea of their "bucket dates"

Will there be any new colors for the Axis Semi-hollow or Reflex line this year?

There are no new colors for standard models this year, but Blueberry Burst and Hazel Burst are new colors for the BFR JPs, BFR Luke and LIII, and BFR Axis & BFR SuperSport.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Yay!!!
Do we have specs?

Not yet, once distribution/dealers and pricing on the MusicMan amps are all finalized I'm sure EBMM will let us know what the details are.

 

[kimonostereo]

Thanks Pete! You rock! Just to clarify, there isn't a semi-hollow BFR right?
