[Roubster]

Awesomeooooooo!!!! Cant wait to see more! (Silo Sp BFR maybe? )

 

[fogman]

nice

 

[Mikey]

Axis with toneblock - must be a killer!

 

[koogie2k]

DARN IT! I was close to deciding on my next axe....now you put this out! Back to the decision making.

 

[DaPatrooch]

SWEET! I hope the ASS BFR doesn't cost much more than the regular ASS. I was hoping it would have a different wood combination, so it's pretty similar to the regular model, but it's still really awesome! But then again, it does have the BFR finish options and the sweet inlays, and the tone block... The Sterling looks really cool too!

i went crazy on the bass side over the Sterlings but im also giddy overthe super sport BFR. i remember seeing Morse's sons (i think it was a bfr-ish super sport) and thinking it was amazing.

now i know its finally time for a SS.

great stuff guys!!!!

 

[Johnny Guitar]

wooooo! awesome stuff!

 

[GoKart_MoZart]

Good stuff. The green with the maple neck is soooo nice.

 

[francric]

Wow..........................

 

[roburado]

That Blackburst Axis is sick! Reminds me of Kevin Morse's guitar. Oh well...I guess I'm not buying an ASS anytime soon now that the BFR ASS is coming. Oh...wait...that might depend on whether I want piezo or not. Hmmm...

 

[RobW]

ho-leee GAS!!!

That black Axis is coooooooooool

 

[gibson5413]

Those look great!

 

[petruccirocks02]

Dargin, is there any chance that silverburst might be added to the current roster of colors? Also, are those Koa JP's with the gold hardware gonna be made? Thanks.

The word that went around Desert Domination about the Silverburst, which IIRC was a possible 2008LE color, was that BP wasn't interested in rehashing a finish that was so closely associated with another company (i.e., the Silverburst Les Pauls). But...who am I? What do I know?

They already made 2 or 3 of em' (right?) so ya never know. I hope it gets introduced. I'd buy a JP6 BFR and JP7 BFR in that color.

Yeah. You never know. We never thought we'd see sparkles again, but 2007 LE ended up being Blue Dawn.
