Hi fellow Ballers,

I had been dreaming about a Reflex for some time and finally got one month ago. The reason I'm posting this with such delay is I went off to a vacation in Asia the next day I got the guitar. :( Big thanks to crywolf71 here, great interaction and the guitar is in top notch condition!

By 'proper' Ball I mean that I do have a SUB1 (which has been the main axe and left my Iban*z RG unplayed).

Without further ado, here are some pics because I know how hungry you guys are... :D

Couldn't be happier! Still have to figure out if this BFR one is something I'll stick to or if I'm getting a Gamechanger instead.
 
Congrats! I actually thought about buying that one myself. Just because it's a black sugar / roasted maple version, love that edition! Enjoy!
 
Really beautiful! Congrats! Same thing happened to me; I got my guitar and flew the next day! It was a loooong week but finally got to enjoy it. Cheers!
 
Thanks guys, I most certainly am enjoying it! :)

It's hard to capture the neck on camera (the body I didn't even bother) because we're having so little light here this time of the year. Some of the pictures are a bit on the yellow side but it indeed is a stunner, big time! :p
 
Thanks Mick and edhalen! :)

No it's not heavy at all. I thought it felt light but then again, I'm a quite big dude. :D

Hi Steven,

Congrats on your new guitar, you won't be disappointed! I don't have much more info and like other guys have said in other threads, EBMM doesn't release production numbers on these.

I'm going to take some better pictures of the guitar once we get more light as the spring gets further and it's not that dark/cold outside anymore. The Black Sugar finish is really hard to capture on camera and pictures don't do justice to it. :)
