Location: Lakewood, Ohio | Saw these advertised with no picture on Musicians Friend for $1299.00.. Also noticed that an EBAY music store I think in Minnisota just raised their online price on the Blue Flame Elite T from $899.00 to the same price. Cant tell without the picture, but I wonder if its the same guitar. i think the new one might have LX bracing. Scalloped or Au gratin. |

Location: Lakewood, Ohio | Theres still no pictures out there. The ebay seller that just raised the pirce of the blue flame elite from $899.00 to @ $1299.00 is Grand Central Music. Curiously, there no where near NYC. The blue flame ones werent selling like hotcakes at $899.00, so I wish them luck. |

On the other hand, Phil's Elite that continues the front flames all the way around onto the back bowl certainly does. |

I used to have a sign business and did that effect on vinyl. The way we did it was to mist the object, leaving water droplets on the surface, then we'd spray paint the wet top at an angle and let it dry in that position. When the drops dried, the paint would lay down just like that and we'd clearcoat over it. Very easy effect to do and very cool in the end. |

Location: Lakewood, Ohio | I see these are offered currently at Muscicians Friend. I wonder when Guitar center will get them. Although I like this color, (looks sort of like Fenders Ocean Turquois), I wonder what colors theyll have. Orange? Red? Black (for the ones that have to be redone). |
