So my BFR JP arrived...

[adamrogo]

And I took so many high-resolution photos.

The guitar looks great, and plays so nicely. I was disappointed to find out that I got a flame top, and I'm trying to get used to it, but I'll admit I'm let down. Also, the top isn't bookmatched really.

However I'm still really happy, and I'm in the middle of setting it up with 9's.

The case looks great too!

Pics ??!!??!!

if we did all quilt tops the wait time would be twice as long at least. Especially given the top quality that these tops are. All BFR's got 10-grade(AAA) tops. Let's see some of those pic's. Good job by the L&M boys to get it to you quickly as well.


Keep in mind guys this is the first run of BFR's. Now that we are starting to ship them It truely is the dealers/distributors job to STOCK these BFR instruments there for giving the end consumer the choice between quilt and flame. If Dealer A) orders 10 JP BFR's he will get a mixture of both flame and quilt and have stock to sell either one depending on the customers likes. There is no way possible(or feasable rather) to produce a choice of flame or quilt have it be a 10+ top and have it built within 6 months. Our back order time would be 12+ if we offered that.

now...back to those pic's...come on Adam, Im excited to check it out

Are you gonna go to the HMV meet n' greet? Are you gonna bring it to get it signed like Jeffrey did?

Can't wait to see some pics.

 

[adamrogo]

Oh you guys wanted to see pics? I didn't think it was your thing.

HMV meet and greet? WHHHAAAAAT?

PS: I switched to 9's, which way do I turn the truss rod?

 

[adamrogo]

Ok so I'm going to the HMV thing, I'll be there 9am. Yes I'm getting it signed, but on the backplates, not the actual guitar finish.

The thing plays incredible, but buzzes a bit. I'm sure once I tweak the truss rod it will be great, I just don't remember which way to turn it.

So you guys DO want to see the pictures?

 

[eegor]

ummmmm...

















YEAH.

 

[adamrogo]

Oh, you do?

It may be flame, but damn it's gorgeous. Hope you all agree!

 

[mesaboogieman]

I would prefer quilt myself but I must say that is one gorgeous looking instrument. I would definitely be proud to play that!


P.S.
It's time to change your signature line.

 

[Colin]

Though it's not a quilt, it's a very beautiful top.

That flame is sick!!! How could you not be happy with it?

 

[DT1607]

Both tops are amazing IMO. I can't wait till mine comes in!

 

[Dead-Eye]

Until now I thought I'd prefer quilt, but with these pics I realized I absolutely don't care...now to go find some money

 

[kevin]

WOW...Killer Top!!! That is a stunning flame!!! Adam I'm excited to see that the day has finally arrived for you my friend! Sit back and enjoy!!

Now does Music Man know how to rock your knot or what??

 

[SerenadeOfMetal]

Best flame I've seen. I wish they could all look like that.

 

[adamrogo]

I know, it's a gorgeous top, and I'm getting used to the flame.

The guitar plays pretty much perfectly, I'm really happy!

I just need to tweak the truss rod.. After changing from 10's to 9's, do I tighten or loosen?

And can I get a birthdate please. G34918
