It is not a real Evh. The controle plates, pick up routing is off. It misses the hole that is under the nackplate normally. Strap pins angle is off. The screwholes are not right. To many parts are not real Mm.

Wow Stel very nice, love that color. But it's a PDN, not a BFR just so you know.

It is a BFR though. I know its caleed PDN but the backplate says BFR. After 2011 and the actuall BFR line of guitars, i think they renamed the BFR thingy, as the rare line of each model. Like.. the latest Majesty models with all that sparkle cool looking colours, are now called.. BFR versions.. so mine says BFR on the back. I guess its the same.
That's interesting, now I'm curious. I have a 2011 Black Sugar which I think was the last BFR with the 12th fret logo.
Thanx for letting me know that. Glenn |B)

The JP BFR, JPX, JPXI, JP12, JP13, JP15 and JPXVI are all BFR models. Finish aside. They once bore the BFR insignia on the 12th fret but now it's engraved on the 5-bolt metal backplate. I believe it was transferred there due to a lot of people not agreeing with it being placed on the 12th fret (I am certainly not one of them, loved it there as it adorned the fretboard beautifully).
That aside, the Cardinal Red Sparkle finish was indeed circulated exclusively through EBMM's Premier Dealer Network. Along with the Emerald Green Sparkle.
BFR is concerned with the selection of the so-called tone-woods (Ball's Family Reserve), whereas PDN was concerned with the exclusive finishes that were made available through the Premier Dealer Network. For example, a regular JP6/7 in Vintage Tobacco Burst is PDN but not BFR.
Stelio, super congratulations!! We need to do a Cardinal Red meeting =)

One more of my amazing JP12 7 string in the amazing Cardinal Red finish. My god this guitar is such a beauty!
A quick shot each of my current EBMM units. The colors and flaming appear somewhat washed in the photos, my phone's camera is a bit, uh, sorry for that. 
2005 Axis, Natural Gloss - museum piece of sorts. Was purchased new and went directly into a stored collection...essentially never been played other than what might have been done for factory setup and my restring and tune upon arrival.
2009 Axis Super Sport HH, resplendent in Black Cherry Burst
Nursin' a major semi for an Axis (S/SS?) HH or MM90 piezo hardtail...would seem I've given myself quite a task in finding one on the North American continent...
Is it just me or are these guitars like crack?

I'd say she's quite a looker, good on ya.
Thanks 2mdude, getting ready to plug her in now
Update: Jammed for a few hours today and had practice tonight. This is the nicest guitar I think I have ever owned and played. A significant difference between this BFR and my regular Axis. This Buck Eye is sure fun to play and I had wonderful comments all night long on the looks. Our sound guy is big into wood working and he was admiring the Buckeye and the African Mahogany. I am surprised at how light this guitar is as well (7 Lbs).
My Axis is a "guit-fiddle" but this guitar is on steroids. I love Music Man guitars!!!
