New Premier Dealer Network Offering!!!!!

I love this company. Seriously, I'm not ordering a Y2D (but I have a JP6 on order) but this level of customer service is something I deeply value.

I'm a geek, but I gotta say I'm super excited for the Neptune Blue, seriously! I have a feeling it's going to become my go-to guitar for my recording sessions and touring.
 
hey guys, is the BFR quilt top Petrucci body shape available in this Neptune Blue finish? or is it just standard JP body shapes?

You can order the JP BFR in either flame (standard) or quilt (up charge) and get a crazy figured top under the Neptune Blue finish. That's what I did and I can't wait for it to get here!
 
I'm placing an order with Sweetwater this week for an all roasted maple SM(Y2D). I'm waiting for the quote, but otherwise I'm just not sure whether to go the standard Morse or the quilt top. If the price isn't too different, I may go quilt, but I kinda want the extra pickup. Oh, the decisions.

On that note, is there a choice between quilt top or flame top on the Y2D? or just luck of the draw?
 
Done - the Luke III Neptune Blue H-H with roasted maple and rosewood board was ordered this afternoon. Had a chance to demo the Luke side by side with the Luke III but much preferred the sound of the Transition pickups.
 
Can't wait to see the JP and JP BFR models of this PDN run!

Can we see some pics of the JP? I'm so on the fence and trying my best to come up with funding on my order. I can easily get the upfront deposit, but I like to have a solution for the rest of the guitar when it ships before making a big purchase. If I saw pics, then I'll flip something today, maybe take a hit! Anyone good with photoshop? I have until the end of the week and I'm keeping the PDN dealers at bay with my indecisiveness.

As soon as we have them built up!

Will that be before or after the ordering-window has closed? If it's after, then it's kinda too late for those who wants to order that particular guitar so they will either have to order it without seeing it or miss out on the chance to order it..

I am getting ready to purchase my first Music Man guitar, and I too would like to see this PDN on the BFR JP6. I know there's a very slim chance of seeing it today, but I'm between this and the Majesty. I figured unless I saw what the BFR JP6 in this style actually looked like, I'd probably play it safe and just go with the Majesty.

In a perfect world we'd have pictures of everything that we make plus everything we could possibly make, etc. The reality is we are a built to order company. The pictures you saw are the only 2 Neptune Blue instruments in existence right now. As they are built we will post pictures. Most dealers are ordering stock so you may still be able to get the instrument you are interested in later after viewing it (push your local dealer to stock it!). We did post a picture of what the finish will look like over a figured maple top, so you'll at least get an idea of what it will look like on the BFR JP6.
