Are Roasted Maple Necks still available to order now, or was that only for a limited time? Also, which models?

Bass Central has a Roasted JP 7 strings :
MusicMan Guitars

Be quick !

Wow- they've really got an amazing stock at Bass Central- seriously considering nabbing one of those guys...

Guitar Center also has decent stock. Even online.

I looked on Guitar Center Platinum- they've really got quite a collection of roasted Petruccis! Seven strings are sparse, unfortunately :(

I dig the Turquoise Pearl JPX a lot. http://platinum.guitarcenter.com/search/view_listing.cfm?prodId=10974

Thanks guys!

I love my two RM neck Balls and am glad I jumped on them when I did. I honestly thought that we would of seen more of them, but that does not seem to be the case. If you seriously want one and find it, I would not hesitate jumping on it. Who knows when you will get another shot-if ever!

Let me tell you everyone...

I have a roasted maple necked BFR Axis, and it is the best sounding and playing neck EVER! If these are now discontinued, and you fancy having one, please get one. I assure you, you will be glad that you did!

I will NEVER part with mine. Ever.

Bring back the roasted and the rosewood!! But yeah, i'm gonna go down and play one soon, and who knows, maybe i'll have a NGD post for you guys!! Does the feel of the neck just feel the same as the painted ones? Or is it even better? xD

The roasted necks had Ebony fret boards. I'm sure at some point they'll do another BFR with the roasted as an option, but the roasted fall in the true nature of the BFR's. They make what they want and what they think people will want. Be patient.

To me the roasted sealed and the natural necks are 2 different beasts, but I personally like them both.

As Glenn stated they have a different feel since it has a thin clear coat and Ebony board, but it has a feel all its own like nothing I played before in a mind blowing way. I think it is because of the process the necks go through when roasted, in which all the moisture is removed and the neck becomes 30% lighter which makes the guitar feel like a feather.
