burningyen Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Hey guys, been a while since I checked in. I just got engaged and the fiancee will be moving in soon. It's come time for me to admit to myself that I'm just not playing any non-Floyd stuff anymore, so there's no good reason for me to have all of these non-gig guitars in a 400-sq-ft studio. So with that, I bring you my prized 2000 BCR Jr.: You already know the drill, but just in case: -Cherry finish (obviously) -Custom order thin headstock and vintage-style inline button tuners -Vintage-style fat neck -TonePros wraparound intonatable bridge and locking studs installed, somewhat tarnished (I can remove and take $50 off the price if you prefer) -Other than the bridge, all original parts. Will also throw in original bridge and studs. -OHSC included -Excellent condition, with some feathery scuffing on the back (I thought they were fingerprints at first), some isolated light scratches near the bridge and on the back, one noticeable 1/4" ding next to 3 microdings on the back near the edge, and a micro paint imperfection (chip?) on the back of the neck behind the 6th fret. This was my main gigging guitar for several years with the old Jack Devine band. Even with these tarnished strings, the intonation is still spot-on right out of the case, and it still rings like no other guitar I've ever played. That first strum this morning just about broke my heart. I bought this from ToneJunkee and it was one of the original run of 12 custom ordered Jrs. ordered by BCR/Greg. $1500+shipping, no trades (unless your name is BadgerDave and you're looking to unload your gold Monaco!) Also selling my old Alesis SR-16 drum machine, including manual and power adapter. The volume knob is intermittent, but otherwise it works fine. $50+shipping. Any questions? Ask away!
ArnieZ Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 No Questions but Congratulations on your engagement Ben!!ArnieZ
burningyen Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Thanks, Arnie! I should have included a pic:
Guest pirateflynn Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 That pic looks like it was taken right here in my neighborhood. When did you guys come to SoCal?
burningyen Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 That was actually taken in Tucson, AZ, around Christmas.
Guest pirateflynn Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Well, it looks like home brother. Big time congrats and best of luck with the sale of that fine guitar!
Imiss85 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 word of advice from a married man, sell the girl and keep the gear. Congratulations, nice axe btw.
Feynman Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Congrats!And, I'll take the Alesis if it's still available. PM Sent.
Brooks Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 congrats ben. don't listen to the naysayers, getting married was the best thing i ever did (i have one of the good ones).
edgar_allan_poe Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 congrats ben. don't listen to the naysayers, getting married was the best thing i ever did (i have one of the good ones).HUGE +1. I would be an absolute mess without Denise. Marrying her was the best thing I have ever done, and the absolute stupidest thing SHE has ever done. LOL!!!

Craig Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Ben - Congrats! Glad to see another good guy end up with a pretty girl who is way out of his league, like I did. (joke)Anyway, best of luck, getting married isn't always easy, but as Poe said, it was the best thing I ever did, and Jessica's worst mistake!
Buzzy Fretts Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 hey ben! congrats on the catch. she looks like a sweetheart.
