New BC Rich!?

Karl Hungus

Interesting...

I just noticed that after visiting the BC Rich site.
Totally updated NJ Series models.

I really must try one of these out, I wonder what the Ebony fingerboard feels like, and how much of a difference the Mahogany body would make. But what I really wonder is what the new Floyd Rose is like! Does it stay in tune as good as the old ones? How much of a difference does it make?

I also like the idea that I could easily cut the head of one of those, and play it headless no bother!

Why would anyone want to play like that, gonna cut the front off your hair to match AW?

I saw that SpeedLoader saddle idea on some invention show some time a go, it seemed like a good idea, and the "inventor" and some independant "guitar expert" both said it help the tuning just as good if not better then the old Floyd Rose, i think its probably just the same with a lot of fuss left out. I'd love to give one of those a go too.

Ps. There are a lot of dogey warlocks going around guitar shops for obvious reasons, anyone know where i can get a decent BC Rich, i'd be looking for a fixed bridge mockingbird or virgin.

Well, I got mine in Music Maker, and honestly never had a single regret. If its a fixed bridge I'd say you should go for a platinum series, don't go for bronze series, they're basically the lowest grade of BC Rich. For begginers and such. Check here.

I got a thing for 80's style headless guitars.
They look the business!

I never liked the NJ headstock tbh. I prefered the other headsotck that looks like a curvy ESP one.

I haven't really heard anything about those speed loaders. You have to buy FR strings though, which is fairly crappy. No more Dean Markley Blue Steels :-( I'd imagine they'd stay in tune just as well, especially if you put a trem-setter on it!

angelwhore, tbh i find guitars with no heads look really horrible!!
