Would a blue floral re-issue sell?

[rty13ibz98]

as much as i dislike maple boards...I LOVE THE BFP!!!!! its right up there with my rg770dx. its my second favorite jem...first being the jem7rb. i have lusted after a bfp for years and would buy one in a heartbeat if they were to reissue it. what i would love to see reissued would be the pgm100 with an aanj.

I say no,coz it wouldn't have the edge/lo-pro trem,locking studs,blah blah,old ones are cheaper on the 'bay,blah blah usual stuff

For me it wasn't so much the finish as it was the blue vine on the maple neck. To this day it's still the only maple fretboard/vine combination. All the other maples had pyramids.

I recently had my BFP neck cleaned within an inch of its life and refretted. Don't know if you saw the pics, but it looks AWESOME.

With today's market, I don't think it'll sell much, but I'd sure like to have one.

[C.Thep]

I voted no. I like them very much, but I think the concept could be so much prettier. IMO, it is an ugly guitar.

Hmm.....the poll is dead even.

Interesting.

My BFP now sports blue Tone Zone and Air Norton - for some reason the PAF Pros sounded really thin and lifeless in this guitar

Yes with AANJ

No Way!!!! A lot of people hate the VSBL even though they are becoming more popular. Not only that, they are only 2 yrs. out of production. The BFP would be way more popular. BFP=15 yrs. out of production. I say no to both, Ibanez please do not reissue neither. VSBL=my favorite.

I voted YES. I think the BFP would sell, but not in huge amounts.

Discovering that the guitar actually has a paper top was quite a shock to me, as I thought they were fabric-covered just like the original FP (still my favourite guitar). BFP is very nice, though.

I didn't particularly like them when they came out, but I didn't like the GMC or PMC when they came out either. I'm still fairly ambivalent about them all now. A reissue of the original 3 would sell better, I think.

[nienturi]

I got "YES" because its simple. I love that guitar and im sure it would sell again...

[VSLSurfer]

If the fretboard, inlay and paint job was different I would buy one

[shreddersymphony]

Yeah personally they really are just plain ugly to me. If i wanted girl's wallpaper on my guitar I'd glue some on...

I prefer the FP, but the BFP is also very nice. However I dislike Maple Boards (by far prefer Rosewood), so no BFP for me.
