Thumbs up where can i buy a John Petrucci BFR F1

hello everyone

i am new to this forum

I have been researching for the last 2 weeks on the internet and various dealers in Manhattan / New Jersey to buy a brand new BFR F1 John Petrucci

I went to Guitar Center 14 th street Manhattan but they dint seem to have too many options..all they really had were display pieces

could anyone guide me to any stores or have any idea which stores would be expecting a new shipment ?

thanks
regards
sudeip

Hi sudeip

No question - give Pete DuBaldo in Manchester CT a call.

Pete frequents this forum and has supplied many fine guitars to many forumites (including me).

Have a look here...

Ernie Ball / Music Man / Guitar / Bass

Happy hunting!

Hey Bungo sure thing that looks awesome !
could you give me any additional information
sorry for asking soo many questions -

1. Would any of the BFR F1 models explicitly mention they are baritones or not ?
2. generally how old are these models at the store ? give or take a month or two or perhaps more ?

thanks again

They are not F-1's. They are just Petrucci BFR's.

There are 3 JP BFR models. The BFR 7 string, the BFR baritone, and the BFR JP6 (also available in koa). I list them on our website as such, to avoid confusion. Right now I only have BFR JP6s in stock. The age of an instrument at a store depends on lots of things, there is no set age. Your best bet is to ask the shop directly.

Our in stock BFRs are listed here:
Ball Family Reserve

We are about a 2 hour drive Northeast from Manhattan, and have two locations. Shoot us an email or give a call if you plan on coming out this way and we can make sure all the BFRs are in one spot for you to try out.

It would be easier for you to buy plane tickets This year we had customers fly in and visit the store coming all the way from Poland, Netherlands, Ireland, Croatia, and Brazil. I think there were one or two citizens from other countries who stopped in, also, but I can't remember which ones. Maybe Nick does...
