BC RICH Retro Gunslinger

[Axeslinger]

Just got mine via UPS

Took a few quick pics..

[LonePhantom]

Very nice! Only issue is the black headstock. Would look even better with a colour matched, or maybe even a natural finish seeing as it has a maple board.

A couple more pics

A shot of the deep cutawy



A pic of the contoured heel



And,, the Headstock




I kinda like the headstock

[newbieguitarmaker]

nice, the way the shadows hit it, it looks like it has scalloped frets which makes me think that would be awesome to have scalloped frets on that. it just looks like it could take it hahaha

I was actually thinking of getting one of these as a random guitar to have around, maybe tuned to Eflat since my only guitar tuned down is my Fender and its not exactly shred tastic, more blues hah

Nice gunslinger II. You can`t have these headstocks matching. The classic BC thing is to always have a black headstock, or on older guitars, a brown stained veneer top

nice catch

I like those. Prolly the only BC Rich I would consider buying.(well, maybe a mockingbird).

Too bad they didn't issue more colors or some "old school" 80s graphics!

[newbieguitarmaker]

wait... the most important question hasn't been asked.... how does it play?

[CosmicDebris]

Never played a BC Rich. What does the neck feel like?

[NeglectedField]

This is the first BC Rich I've ever liked. Their styling has always been too far out there for me. This design, kinda like an RG, is aggressive but not . . . em . . "weird?" "extreme?" Not sure how to put it, but y'all know what I mean.

not METAL (hardcore)

Congrats, that looks (and hopefully plays) sweet! I thought it was scalloped at first also, weird. I was going to ask if they offer these with the "lightning" graphic, which I always dug, but I'm guessing by jm5150's post that they don't.

[scotte_za]

cool! where did you buy it from? And how much did it cost?

[Axeslinger]

Got mine from Funkymunky music.com

Dealt with Scot....$599

This fretboard is FLAT...

I carried a BC Rich for a while as a stage guitar back in the day.. This is like stepping into a "way back" machine


I've got to sticker the bejeezus out of this
