Which BFR models came in KOA

[Voo]

Like the title asks, just curious to see which models were available in Koa as well as curious if it will be a normal production option or limited time only

thx

JP's and Luke's I believe.

With the BFR they run as long as EBMM wants.

There was a limited run of Axis Super Sports done for Musicians Friend

The LUKE as well as JP are offered in KOA currently too.

Wow, im not a big fan of ASS, but KOA ASS, now your talkin!

 

[TheBassGuy]

that koa ASS is amazing!

There's a koa Luke at DuBaldo's. Understand that the neck is finished. Absolutely beautiful guitar.

 

[Voo]

yeah its a stunning guitar for sure that pricetag just hurts LOL I know its worth it but still ouchie

 

[SteveB]

Luke's were made for Koa.. they just look so friggin' good that way.

 

[Stratty316]

I remember somebody, maybe BP, saying that the necks have to be finished because they are Mahogany and it will warp if they don't. Correct me if Im wrong...

 

[ErnieJohn]

Apologies for digging up such an old thread, I'm trying to locate the details of the KOA BFR Axis Super Sport, is the neck "finished" mahogany ?

 

[dibart77]

No kidding. DAMN! How do I get one?!? But it should have had gold hardware, methinks...

​

 

[BrickGlass]

I have a JP and a Luke in koa. If I'd known they made a ASS koa, I'd likely have one of those too. I agree about the hardware needing to be gold though.

 

[dibart77]

I have NEVER seen one of these! Where have I been?!?

​

 

[BrickGlass]

I've never seen one either. I'm amazed that I haven't to be honest. I am a complete sucker for koa and I've always wanted an ASS. I think I'd have to get one with a trem though...and the gold hardware is just sexy on a koa guitar.

 

[BrickGlass]

I'd love to add one to the collection.

I have a koa BFR Luke II. I don't know if it is more due to the koa top, mahogany neck and body, or the ebony fretboard (the ebony probably has a lot to do with this) but the tone is unique. Very quick and immediate sparkly attack to the notes. Lovely scooped hi-fi sound, especially with the single coils.

Opps...you're right Larry..I forgot about the Super Sports.

I WANT THIS ASS! I'm willing to pay for it if I have to!

Special run for 2016: koa top, mahogany or even better: black limba body, roasted maple neck, ebony fretboard, satin finish, black hardware. Available on JP bfr, jp15, luke, ass or whatever remain, some bass too, etc.

...one can dream.
