Which BFR Finish is this?

[visualrocker69]

It doesn't look like any of the 4 and its not the prototype, but it's probably a trick of the light.

Most likely walnut burst with intense lighting, or one of the other prototypes sent to JP..... That photo is also low-res and fuzzy. Look at the yellow glow on JP's hair and shoulders. I guess his halo is just out of the picture hahaha


BP?

I'd venture a guess that it's walnut burst under colored stage lighting.

Man, I love that finish.

 

[greenwizard]

It couldn't be anything but walnut burst.
Unless it's a proto.
Did any of the prototypes include the BFR inlay?

Man, JP is getting buff...

It's the best one!

I've noticed that too. The next thing you know, he'll start speaking with a German accent.

 

[jeffrey]

Funny thing is, I quit lifting weights because of problems with my wrist and tendonitis.

Some time last year prior to hitting the studio I read that JP hurt his wrist "working out" and on the Systematic Chaos DVD he's got a wrist brace on similar to what I sleep with every night.

Man needs to take a break!

Change his name to John Hoffstadtler or something and become a real famous karaoke singer in Germany.

[pantalaimon]

have you noticed that it hasnt got the cutaway for the arm like the other jp's have? or is this normal for bfr's?

The BFR JP does not have the traditional arm cutaway of the original JP.

 

[jeffrey]

Yeah, it has a "traditional" arm relief (just an angle back).

I will admit I have a little concern about it as I REALLY like the arm scoop of the my JP's. I have bowling pins for forearms, so that cutout was really nice for me.

I'm sure I'll be fine with it either way.

If JP keeps "bulking up" he may have to go back to the original model.
