We call that a Lassard.
I believe the Bernies have joined the CE24 in the "bolt-on" section, and are still available.
According to the video, 85/15's, trem, maple neck. I think the website has some residual info from the 2016 models.
It's as though we are of one mind.
I'd LOVE to get ahold of a new Bernie, and it would be awesome if they brought it back.
And I'm in full agreement about the Tusq nut. That's the first thing I do with all of the SE models I get.
New strings...and Tusq nut.
I don't mind the tuners. I think they're fine, for the most part. But the nut upgrade is a must, IMO.
Doh! BM vs. BM...I get so confused. (My MDT has someone's initials, "BM" as well, I wonder...are either of them based near Connecticut?)???
I think you're thinkin' about the Brent's.
Guitarguitar in the UK have got a number of Bernie's in stock in a variety of finishes if anyone is desperate for one.
Unfortunately, the low £ value in the UK seems to have hit the prices of the 2017 SE's. I just got the previous model Zach Myers a day before the 2017's were announced, but now the new guitars are up on the stores website, the 2017 version is more than what the previous model has ended up costing me!! Quite a significant price hike.
Bear in mind they have been blowing out the older model SE's in anticipation of the 2017 models so prices are cheaper than the new pricing structure.Guitarguitar in the UK have got a number of Bernie's in stock in a variety of finishes if anyone is desperate for one.

Well, as you noted, it was just a market price adjustment to reflect the lower value of your currency relative to the USD.Aye, they knocked just under £ off the Zach Myers which seeing as mine was delivered on the day they announced the blow out, they refunded me the difference! The 2017 models were still more than the outgoing models, which seems excessive for a signature on the headstock!
Dude,look at these demos..
new ones...
then the current ones..
Ok..different demo..but you can clearly hear the difference and for me 2016 model is much much better in sound
Dude,
I think you`re not factoring the amp into the equation. Personally, I think the new ones have a clearer, more balanced sound form low note to high note. The amps are all different.
Can't get your BMs mixed up! Might get a bit messyDoh! BM vs. BM...I get so confused. (My MDT has someone's initials, "BM" as well, I wonder...are either of them based near Connecticut?)
