...any chance they'd be for sale?

I'm really wondering this, I mean, what do they do with the models they show at NAMM? Is there certain people who can get their hands on these, or are they just demo models only, and get rolled out only for guitar shows and the like?

to be honest I'm unsure what MM does with these. The Y2D's shown this year are different than last year so who knows? The BFR 5 shown with serial 001 is going to the vault. If it's a painted color model it wouldn't matter anyway, but the quality of the quilts are always good whether they're a namm model or not.

Yeah, I had a natural Axis super sport that was a namm show representative. It was beautiful. I didn't keep it though.

The guitars they showed at NAMM

My 2000 AL was supposedly a NAMM model. Its sorta a honey gold with ebony button locking tuners.

Its Sunday and I dont have that info...ping us during business hours and we can tell you

Wow. Thanks, BP. I was only half serious. :D I'll probably have to wait to get the money together anyway. So, it might take me a while. But man, I sure am tempted to call CS.

We won't sell any of the "new" instruments. Things like the BFR's and LE's will go to artists or the vault. Once the other instruments pass inspection they will get sold to dealers/distributors.
