Hey!
How can it be? Are there any happy owners - or there`s something else - as for looks and sounds - couldn`t be better, but I never saw one like that, that`s what makes me wonder if it`s a usual thing for that model to turn green as times go by (it is a `91 model - serial 916252 with a classic heel plate - there`s no doubt the guitar is authentic) I`d appreciate any feedback at my email - kramom@ji-net.com

Thanks for the reply!
I used to think so, but the colour is absoutely the same both on the front- and backsides, besides, the pickups didn`t fade... Could someone have done it deliberately? I mean UV-ray the guitar till the background turns black  and the floral pattern green? If it is so then it`s also a masterpiece, the color is absolutely the same as it was made just like that...

This one has got BLUE pickups and control knobs, besides the flowers` pattern looks exactly the same as on BFP Jems, it has got a MAPLE neck, with electric BLUE vine inlays.
About GREEN/BLACk FP - where can I see a picture - there seem to be no picture of this model in the gallery :cool:

<You definitely want to get rid of the BFP
I know someone who may want it.....>
Sorry, they have to look for it somewhere else, I`ve just bought it used and I love it, so I`m gonna take care of that baby until one of us dies...:biggrin:
I just wanna know why my BFP is a GFP :wink:

Yellow-tinted clearcoat? And how could we possibly find out for sure if it`s the thing? And in fact = doesn`t it make them yellow-tinted BFPs very rare and cool? (I just can`t help showin` off a bit :biggrin:)
If a buyer is looking for a "BFP", the yellow-tinted clear would be a flaw and bring the value of the guitar down for that buyer. I don't think the market for "green" BFPs is that strong.

Case-in-point; Faded Jem777SKs in mint condition will not be worth near as much as unfaded ones.

Jim, I got Your point,man, the fact is that I`m not going to sell (boy, what a sacrilege!) MY LOVELY JEM, it just makes me feel that I posess a special piece of an outstanding music machinery... :biggrin:
I was dreaming of that moment for 6 years, and when ,finally, I got a chance to get my hands on a floral-patterned JEM it turned out to be even more special than I expected it to be! I just can`t tell everybody how happy I am...:biggrin:

I know I am late on getting to this topic.  But, I know exactly what you are talking about.  Basically, IMHO, the clear has yellowed from age, smoke, sun, or who knows.  When this happens the yellow and the blue - make a GREEN.   I have seen FPs do this as well.  I guess all I am saying is that it is a BFP that has a deeply yellowed clearcoat.

BFPs are sweet though......in any tint.

Hi all, I'm new here and this is my first post. And what an appropriate topic this is for my first reply.

I happen to have a 77BFP that looks greenish. It's not exactly green actually, but the effect makes it look like a green/blue to blue sunburst. The flowers near the sides of the body are pure blue but as you get to the center of the guitar the flowers get greenish. I has been that way since I've bought it back in 93. I suppose it might have stayed in sunlight a little in the store.
At first I didn't like it but after years I think itlook pretty cool.

My actuall problem is with the neck that looks dirty as hell.

Could have been one of their first attempts at the BFP.  

You guys know of course that the blue floral print is just that - print.  It is a piece of paper/cardboard/photo.  

Maybe while trying to "get it right" the clear coat saturated the photo and changed the color?
