Super stoked to have just picked up this BFR Valentine tremolo in target burst. Probably one of my favorite specs, right up there with my Carmelo BFR. Got a pretty solid deal on it too, and the previous owner kept it in mint condition. Still had all the plastics on it!
They are pretty special aren’t they.
Got mine a couple years back - imported from Texas. Probably the best looking valentine for me next to the Husker Red finish
I always like a new Valentine guitar day, and this one is very special! Congrats! Yeah the Target burst is one of my favorite BFR releases-- EBMM really went all out with premium specs on that one. Sometimes I imagine that certain EBMM releases are a nod to classic finishes of the past/other builders. The Target Burst makes me think of the Beatles' sunburst Epiphone Casino (and some like the Ivory White remind me of the Gretsch White Falcons, etc). Very nice flamed neck on that too!
The Carmelo is another fave for me also-- I'd love to have either one of the two. To be honest, I haven't seen one Valentine I wouldn't want to own. I have two Valentines (BFR Pine Green and the Trans Buttermilk) and I get a little rush every time I pick either one up to play it.
Hope you have some great times making music on that fine instrument!
