Stratos Blue Sparkle > all other sparkles.

 

[Larry]

Larry - that's a BP question, my understanding thus far is if we get over 50 then US people 'could' be an option, but BP is the man, I am but a humble servant, -although if we sell over 100 - I'd hope Bp'd give me mine for free!

Sorry Larry, best I can do just now....

No problem Smelly, thanks for at least addressing my question.

Best of luck!

One US vote for blue sparkle

 

[roburado]

Here's Stratus Blue:

Here's Midnight Blue:

Here's Glacier Blue:

Stratus Blue is my favorite " Blue " sparkle finish - Awesome Pet Pics Ernie!

That makes the JP double-neck seem like it's Midnight Blue. Anyone know for sure what it is?

Since I haven't been able to completely follow all the threads associated with the knucklehead guitar poll,and couldn't find my answers in searching previous threads I have a question.Has a particular model been decided upon yet?I saw in the thread that it's still up in the air as to whether or not the knucklehead guitar is/isn't UK only so the only q's I have are about a model choice if one's been made.
Please forgive me if this has already been dealt with (once again couldn't find the info) but how about this as an option:Make the knucklehead guitar concept about a custom finish exclusive to all forum members,allow buyer to choose the model of guitar they want(at BP's discretion of course)and maybe hand numbered and/or signed by BP.
I am planning on buying another Luke this year,and would be all for getting one in a special,limited run finish like a cool blue sparkle with matching headstock!
anyway just my 2 cents

 

[gtrman66]

Yeah I dig the stratus blue also......I'd buy that

Rob, it's Stratus Blue man, it's not dark enough to be Midnight Blue.

Smelly's original concept was to have a special edition guitar specifically made for the UK market much like the special runs done for Germany or Japan. Those instruments were limited to 1 model with a special finish only. The most recent examples are the Caramel Apple BFR JP's with JP inlays and the BFR Luke's in the prototype's caramelburst, and the Trans-Pink Axii for Japan.

As much as it would pain me not to be able to participate (because I'm from the US), I think they should stick with this concept. I think it would be the easiest way for all parties to get it done.

it would be great for the whole forum to get involved in this and im sure we would get enough to easily get 50 ordered if it went worldwide. but tbh the japanese and germans get sepcial one offs and so do the americans with the latest releases at guitar centre. its hard enough to find and buy a ebmm in a store in the uk nevermind get a special one.
that being said though i think if it is uk only i dont think a sparkle al will get 50 orders.
so smelly i think you wanna hope it gets to involve everyone if a sparkly al is what u desire. best of luck.

Thanks for the info kneeoh.I remember when this whole thing started Smelly was trying for a UK/Europe exclusive release with model/finish etc to be determined.I lost track of it at some point so i just wanted some clarification.If it turns out to be an exclusive guitar not available in the US that's ok.We get our share of special releases here that aren't normally available outside of the US.But if it comes down to it and the numbers don't meet the demands set by EBMM maybe my suggestion would make a good plan B.....a special finish available on multiple guitar models exclusive to forum members (even if it's just for the UK/Europe market).So Smelly if you need to go in a different direction with your idea please feel free to use any or all of mine if you think it might help

C'mon guys you're at least 30 votes shy of getting this to the next level, keep voting this poll closes 1st feb, I'll do a count over the weekend, but if this flops we'll have to try something else -like coming to your house and making you an offer you can't refuse??

I admire your passion and dedication to the deal, Smelly, I really do. Especially with so many of the UK Knuckleheads on board.

And though it might come as cynicism, it's really not. But for me, as a soon to be graduated college student (I guess that puts me in a minor demographic here, but the prospect of having to spend a good chunk of change on a budget is something a lot of people here can sympathize with) and I'm at the point where I'm almost able to afford my next ball. Honestly, I can't say that I'd dish out the extra money for a custom color. I know it's just my opinion, and I would appreciate it if everyone just took this as my opinion (I don't wish my perspective to be viewed as assertiveness, cause that's exactly what I'm try not to do)

I always believed in function over form, and while I certainly do value aesthetics, shouldn't the opportunity be taken to obtain something worthwhile? BP said no custom, serious works, just a wood choice or color choice. Wood choice seems to be the way to go. I know the pain in the rear-end has been getting everyone to agree on a wood choice has been rough, but its just some food for thought. If you guys get this to the next step, and on through, I'm genuinely happy for ya all. I just kinda wish I could be as excited about it.

Since Subaru Steve responded, I will too (us Subaru guys have to stick together).

I've not voted mainly because although I'd love a knucklehead guitar, I've seen plenty already that I'd be happy with. So for me......EBMM makes too many good choices of great guitars already. Oh....send a cherry burst/black pg sss trem Al to Pete's....that would be nice.

your welcome to your opinion!

 

[Dante]

to me the poll shows up as closed instead of "you already voted", is this kosher?

 

[Smellybum]

does look like it's closed - it wasn't me!

Well doesn't look like there's 50 of you to agree on anything, BP - I've tried - I'm going to have to try something else...

$100 rebate on all orders?


Disapointed of Scotland.

Smelly- the poll was set to close automatically after 2 days. I've just re-set it and kept it open for ya.
