No love for the Reflex?

[agt]

The Reflex and Game Changer seem to fit the bill perfectly, but if I'm buying something above $1,500 I also expect to have something that looks special and will look good on the rack or on the wall. As I get older, sure that's very important to me!

My opinion only, but I think that the original Venetian redburst 25th is one of the most visually pleasing guitars ever made (and sonically, of course!). There may still be some left, although they would likely exceed $1500. Something to possibly investigate.

Venetian redburst is stunning. I often just sit and stare at my 25th.

I agree, these are absolutely gorgeous guitars. I've started to look for one and they are in the $2500 range (so far).

Are they in the same quality league as the BFR instruments?

So I'm not alone in experiencing this ...

Damn, looks like I just missed this one at my favorite EBMM shop:

So close!

I saw the one in the link below in the gold top finish at the same site. Unfortunately it is also sold, but I believe that color is still in production. I have a 25th, but if I were going to purchase a Reflex from the colors currently offered, that would be the color (with trem)!

You can steal 25ths on the guitar center website...they never could figure out how to sell them....search and destroy. Make stupid offers ...someone will take it...

Thanks, BP. I'll stay close to home and buy a 25th

I have a 25th on the way to me now. Apparently a Manhattan store had one still in the box, never opened. It was a silly price, PM me if you want to know what I bought it for. The guy who found it for me might be able to find more, and can probably get the same price. Just let me know.

I saw the new neck-through design tonight as I logged in. Wow.

I would swap my Reflex in a New York minute for a 25th!

Just being nosy here but would that be for the color or are there other considerations? It's genuine question as I thought the Reflex was a 25th without the bling but as you have a BFR Reflex why would you swap it for a 25th?

Nick is the one who set me up, and is an old friend of mine from when he lived in Seattle. Give him a call at the store (405 810 9191) and if anyone can find you another like that he definitely can.

the "lespaulocaster " rocks ! well thought guitar

The Flame or Quilt top, the color is also stunning. The limited one's from GC, green and purple that I have seen with the flame and quilt are just great. But, I got the Black Sugar, Roasted, so, I'm not way behind.

I couldn't find a 25th for sale at musicians friend or gc online. I already have one but would happily buy another if they can't figger out how to sell them.
