Check it out here.

I found this an extremely interesting and engrossing read. Though I'd post it up for people here to have a look at. It basically details how BC Rich guitars came to be, and also makes some excellent points I've always felt people ignored:

“What really gets me, though,” continues Rico, “is that they’re always known for their weird shapes, not the thought and quality that went into the shape of the neck or the quality painting.”

Thoughts?

That was an interesting article. I'd always thought the NJ referred to New Jersey as well.

Cool article, though a few of the facts are dodgy, such as

"Ironbird
Following the Warlock was the radically angular Ironbird appeared in around 1983, a guitar favored by Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. "

It was Geezer who played the Ironbird bass, he played a red one at Live Aid, tis on the DVD. I'd love an old Eagle bass. Whatever misgivings people have about them being 'Heavy Metal guitars' no-one can deny that this is just a beautiful piece of art

Oh, and they were the favoured bass of Derek Smalls

And not a bad price for that one either. Someday John, someday.
