Nice pics!

Any Dargies on display? (Any Dargies been shipped to the UK yet?)

Have to laugh at the Jem 20th! Its acrylic and lights up and will retail at cloce to $6500 if not more!

Tough choice - the Jem 20th or 3 BFR's....hmmm

Quite like the Washburn N Series Snakeskin as well but would rather have the Vintage N4 model!

The Blue Flame Luke BFR looks better in the flesh than in the other thread on the white background. The Flame seesm very 3-D!

Can't wait for more pics !

They are! Acrylic with paint swirls throughout and it lights up with 8 coloured LED's...standard Jem VBP neck which is a let down (should have been unique)

What a tone monster that will be! They've all been snapped up by dealers anyway. Never meant to be a players guitar which is a shame as you would have htought Ibanez could have given something back to the people who have supported Steve and the Jem since 1987....

Kinda like what BP and the EBMM team do regularly for us knuckleheads!

But yeah definately 3 BFR's over the Jem....

I think Rob was talking about ordering 3 BFR models eventually the same model (Blue Luke, Rubie, Luke and so on) instead of other brands guitar

I would assume the retail for a BFR is less to or equal than third the price of the new Jem 20th at $6500 ??? Here's to hopeing!

Thats what Rob and myself were talking about!

Sorry, Knox. Upon inquiry to my dealer, I was told the MSRP for a BFR Petrucci 6-string. It was more than a third of that JEM. I won't say the amount though, until the EBMM gang get back from NAMM and the smoke clears. Then we'll get it straight from the source.

Ok...so maybe two and a half BFRs....

One thing for sure I'm definately ordering these through my Uncle in NY. No way am I paying the UK price for these babies...

Thanks for the great pics! What is that I spy, a clear pickguard? Could it be that we can get clear pickguards as an option in the future? Hope so! It would show off those beautiful finishes!

The clear pickguard is standard on any Morse Y2D model.

I believe they are the ONLY EBMM model that can have a clear pickguard.. at least at the current time.

Damn Straight! I'm gonna get my gf's brother in toronto to get it for me. I get peeved at the way we get over charged for everything in this country.

I am not, i repeat not whinging about the whole "why can't we buy straight from the company bla bla bla...." issue. Business is business. But if you can circumvent the ridiculous taxes and surcharges we pay in this country then you should.:D

Good man, but I'm a bit worried about the price tag now....these things may be over $3000 which for a quilt/flame top (which don't look like premium tops either) on a standard luke/JP-F1 with no piezo option is in my opinion a bit too much!

I'm looking forward to my DD Luke even more now!
