NGD - how i love the BFR badge at the 12th fret!

....and again....and again....and again......

new guitar days are so wonderful!
you guys have seen my Y2D Solar Flare thread already, but no, this is not a Solar Flare.....(SF has to wait for me for a few month or so).
last week, just the day before i got my hands on the Solar Flare, i stumbled across this babe here:

BFR badge, ebony fretboard.....hmmmmm very very nice, and this tiny gold flakes all over the guitar...well done boys and girls at EBMM!

as everybody would expect, it´s a Y2D again.

today i got one step closer to a complete collection....if anybody ever sees a Dargie Delight (I+II) Y2D for sale - contact me!

so now i have to get used to the finished roadsted neck, not sure if i ever will....

WTF Joe, this is a very nice piece you have here. I remember the days when your EVH was you number 1 I guess you have retired it by now as all the love goes to the Y2D

congrats!

i still love my EVH, but you´re right, it stays in its case a lot of time. i would love to have more EVHs but for the price of a EVH you can get two to three used Y2Ds.
and of course i felt in love with this guitars.

Great looking guitar! BTW, forget a Dargie 1 Morse (standard or Y2D). None were made

Daaang...!!!!
I might like that better than my dark lord...

Congrats!!

Wow, that's crazy! Were did you find that one? Black sugar/roasted maple is so awesome, congrats. About the the neck: just accept it as different and love it for that! My bs/rm AL HH is still my favourite.

I always wondered with those unicolor Y2D's: there still is a figured maple top underneath right? So does EBMM chose the less figured tops for these or is it just random?

thanks guys!

@jzeijen:
this was listed on ebay.com 12 days ago...it was a 30 day listing with int'l shipping and i hit the bin with 29 days and 21 hours left - i just couldn't resist!

@Luc:
thanks for the info about the DDI

Ha! Nice price given European standards. I shouldn't have looked at the sold items list though. I totally missed that Autumn Redrise piezo Luke that sold. Must be a rare bird. Sorry for the hijack

 

[joe web]

jup, for us europeans, it´s a good price. on the other hand, the Y2Ds aren´t that expensive over here.
it´s an underrated guitar by the public - just my opinion.
