Saw my first BFRs!

OK I was not going to post to this, but after reading through it, just had too, everyone has a right to there thoughts and opinions, but to question the quality of the finishes is well just absurd, plus besides being beautiful the tones well they are out of this world, the 20th is the original BFR, and the new Luke and JP BFR just continue that superior quality of looks and tone. I love my 20th, my Luke BFR just reaffirmed that these are tone monsters, and after palying a BFR JP I have sold my JP to fund a BFR JP, enough said, call me fanboy or whatever but I know looks and tone and well BFR is where it is at.

ok the only guitar that uses a colored clearcoat is ruby red...the rest are clear...the only non black that uses black is ruby red the rest are color rubbed stain with clear. so our tinted top coat doesnt really apply

BP you could use colored clear coat, stains of whatever, elfen magic, wizards potions, I realy do not care, all I know is they are fantastic guitars and I am glad you are making them

I agree in principle, but there are some stains I'd rather they didn't use.....
Elfen magic would be cool though!

We decided to go with the black stain and not sand it off as much to make the red darker and more "Ruby" than our standard trans red (like what we do on the Axis). Keep in mind there are other design elements that we went with, and that so far all BFR's have bursted to black. I guess we could have gone with the normal trans red, but how is that any fun?

In my highly subjective and personal opinion, the Ruby Burst is a rich and elegant finish. Goal achieved, EB. I am yet to open the case to show off my Ruby BFR Luke without getting the following response:

"<gasp> OOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....that's gorgeous!"

I make people stand at least a metre away so the drool doesn't land on the guitar.

Fanboy or not is irrelevant...my friend your BFR Luke has one of the most beautiful tops I've ever seen!

I've said it before...BFR's are modern classics.
