Ernie Ball Music Man BFR Mariposa - Transparent Black Electric Guitar 1 of 25
Mars Volta axeman Omar Rodríguez-López's signature Ernie Ball Music Man, the Mariposa, took the guitar world by storm with its daring shape and bold tones. The limited-edition Mariposa BFR (one of only 25 in the world) ups the ante with an exclusive figured maple top and 5-ply black/cream/black pickguard. But just like the original, the Mariposa BFR is the perfect tool for carving out liminal riffs and discordant textures in an all-amps-at-11 mix. Its custom-wound Music Man humbuckers and simple controls take the Mariposa BFR from classic chunk and chime to a pedal-laden blitz in a flash. All the while, Schaller locking tuners and a Music Man Modern Tremolo bridge allow you to waggle and texture riffs to your heart’s content. Take a page straight out of Rodríguez-López’s creative playbook — check out the Ernie Ball Music Man Mariposa BFR, available in limited quantities.
When Ernie Ball Music Man designates one of their instruments as Ball Family Reserve, you better believe it means top-quality craftsmanship and materials. Only 25 of these incredibly appointed axes are being made available worldwide.
The Mariposa BFR’s bold-yet-ergonomic okoume body reaches toward the heavens like a butterfly in flight. Unique to the BFR edition of this exquisite guitar are the figured maple top in a high-gloss polyester finish and 5-ply black/cream/black pickguard. A matching set of chrome hardware rounds out the package.
A 22-fret, C-profile roasted maple neck and 10"-radius ebony fingerboard give the Mariposa BFR the versatility to supply riffers and pedal lovers with endless inspiration. The back of the Mariposa's neck has been hand-rubbed with gunstock oil and wax for a flawlessly smooth, satiny finish. Stainless steel high profile/medium width frets give the Ernie Ball Music Man Mariposa BFR durability and great looks for life.
Two Music Man humbucking pickups, custom-wound to Rodríguez-López’s specifications, enrich the Mariposa BFR’s okoume/maple tonewood cocktail with a delicious full-range character and a healthy dose of output. Streamlined controls — two master volumes and a 3-way toggle — make it quick and easy to find your amp’s and pedals’ sweet spots.
The Ernie Ball Music Man Mariposa BFR sports an innovative truss rod adjustment wheel below the neck joint that’s easy to access and operate. Turn the wheel a bit at a time until your neck feels just right, and your Mariposa BFR will be ready to rock. A Music Man Modern Tremolo bridge system and matching Schaller M6-IND locking tuners make finalizing your setup a breeze.
