New inventory shows a brand new "Willcutt 50th Anni. LTD Roasted Amber" JP15 with a high gloss top!!! Oh yeah, and roasted neck awesomeness too! It looks absolutely stunning. Can any one from EBMM sales give us an idea of how many of these will be produced? It'd be nice to know how limited they will be (and therefore how soon we should jump on these!)

It would also be nice to know if this is truly a one-off run or if we can expect more high gloss JP15 color options in the future. I'm not asking to give away any future BFR plans or specifics... just a "yes" or "no" will suffice ;)
 
You gotta include a link and pictures man.

Excellent scouting!! =D

It's an EBMM JP BFR however, not a JP15.

At first I only saw the JP15 version, but it seems you are correct after looking more closely at the pics and listing Glenn linked to.

EDIT: There appears to be both a BFR and JP15 versions listed at Willcutt. The link that Glenn found does in fact appear to be a BFR, but this one appears to be a true JP15: Ernie Ball Music Man JP15 Willcutt 50th Anni. LTD Roasted Amber (691)

The BFR has a rosewood board. The JP15 is the roasted maple with push/push boost. Here is the JP15:

Thanks for linking the pics Glenn. I posted this while at work this morning and didn't have the time. Much appreciated!
 
The pics showing them sitting in their cases are simply mesmerizing:

So, there is a JP15 as well, niiice!! Those maple tops should be on every guitar, justifies the money you're paying for it. The last picture you posted excellently shows off the 3D effect of the quilted top.

Edit: JP BFR No. 604 has by far the best quilted maple top combined with a very rich in bird's eyes spots maple neck. Someone grab it and never let go =D

Absolutely stunning and gorgeous!! Beats any of the previous colors! Only quilt top? Or is there going to be a flame top as well? Also, is this a gloss finish? Looks like.

The 50th Anniversary Willcutt models were not a numbered series, but will not be reproduced. Unfortunately, we do not provide production numbers. They have a few BFR's left and one 15. Contact James Adkins at Willcutt guitars for more info
 
It's very hard to resist jumping on one of these. If it had binding on the neck I probably couldn't resist.

Not a problem, always happy to help. Nice find by the way, I'm sure a lot will be interested!!

Could Willy or someone from sales verify if the necks on these are unfinished (wax/oil) or satin finish (like Valentines/etc). The listing for the JP15 anniversary model says "Neck Wood: Roasted Figured Maple, oil/wax hand rub", but none of the other models in the JP15s line have this description. Is that 100% correct?

Hi Etudica,
Hand rub would be oil and wax
 
Thanks for confirming. I have never owned an unfinished oil/wax neck so this would be something completely new to me... even more reason to seriously consider this purchase.

Also wanted to add that there is a Luke limited run as well for the LIII fans!!!
