NGD (Finally!)- BFR7 Koa w/Rosewood Neck

[Benji Peterson]

Man it feels good to finally be able to post a new guitar day and share with you guys! I've been hard at work these last six months or so getting our shop running like a top and haven't had the time I'd like to just PLAY guitar! So, my chops are taking a hit, that's for sure, but what better way to make the time to practice than getting a new and amazing guitar?
I was very curious what the tone wood combination would result. Surprisingly, this is not the overly 'warm' tone I was expecting. The warmth is there but it also exhibits a very snappy, bright tone. Overall, it has an incredibly balanced tone that is very satisfying to hear. I'll follow up this post with a sound example, maybe a video, when I get some free time. For now though please enjoy the pics!

It is at times like this that I see the benefits of having children.

Alas if only I had one I could trade it to you for this guitar ><

I usually don't like Koa JPs but this one is amazing. That neck is easily one of the best rosewood necks I've ever seen.

Blah. All this Koa Rosewood content is almost making me regret my choice of Bahama Blue Burst Rosewood.
Can't wait until I get mine!! Should be this month!

[Benji Peterson]

Thanks dudes! Glad everyone here is as blown away as I am. And yeah, I've been docking some serious hours on it!

Ben - that guitar is sick!!! Looks awesome. Interesting that it wasn't as warm sounding as you expected. I know when I had a koa Luke, it was definitely warmer than a regular Luke, but did maintain some brightness as well. Anyway, great score!

I don't even, words have what blown is this mind. Wasn't expecting to wake up and see this! That's gorgeous man! Don't mind the word slur, my brain was not ready to comprehend this guitar this early.

Sick! The grain on the rosewood is divine!! How does the rosewood neck sound? I saw a JP12-7 with a rosewood neck and I was super-tempted as I prefer unfinished necks… but without being able to play it, I just didn't want to take the chance.
