My first post here, and I thought I'd introduce my new sweetheart. It's a Super Sport BFR with solid rosewood neck, MM90s in Black Cherry Burst. Picked it up a few months back on the spur of the moment. A few years back there was a rosewood bodied version of this guitar that I almost bought at my local Long & McQuade but let it go and had regretted ever since. I thought I'd never see another one. Rosewood neck with P90s!!??? The guitar from heaven for me. So when I was at L&M a few months back and saw this little beauty on the wall, I didn't even have to think about it; I'd already decided if I ever saw that little lady again, I was going to sweep her up into my arms and apologize later. So this one is not that exact guitar, but it wasn't really the rosewood body cap so much as the neck and pickups that smote me. And I love the colour and quilt on this one very, very much. And wow, the handling, playability and tone are to die for.
So when I get home, I'm on the web googling to find out more about the rosewood necks, etc, not knowing anything about EBMM guitars, and lo and behold I come across pictures of my very guitar (not another one like it, the same guitar) on the 12th Fret's website. The previous owner had had it on consignment there last winter, apparently. So of course, I download every picture they have of it (they take very high quality pictures of most of their featured guitars). Hence, the professional looking pictures of my sweetie!
I am assuming it was one of the special orders EBMM offered back in Nov-Dec '08 where you could order any of their standard guitars with the BFR solid rosewood neck. It says "Custom Made" on the neckplate. Can anyone confirm that this guitar came about as one of those special orders?
Anyway, without further ado, the pictures:
What a wonderful guitar, and an outstanding guitar company. It's a privilege to be part of the family.
Cheers.
