NGD: BC Rich Gunslinger Retro

[vector]

It's actually pretty crap right now, the paint job didn't turn out too good. It looks okay in the pics & is probably savable but it's not great, my first attempt.

This thing is worth nothing really, ply wood bodies aren't to favorable, but I wouldn't part with it.

The one great thing about her is the neck, it's Ibanez thin but feels more Jackson like. I'm determined to make it a good player.

That's along the same lines as my Cali custom that I'm having painted hurt-yer-eyes neon chartreuse. Second from the left. The only difference is Cali is fookin' sick high quality materials thru and thru- mahogany body, maple neck, ebony finger board, top notch shit.

[Force]

Shit yeah, I like the look of that. Can't wait to see it when it's done.

The Warlock isn't very bright. It's like a dulled down version of Kawasaki green, basically just lime green. Pics never really transmit very well.

Combine your Warlock and Gunslinger and you have my Warslinger.. lol

Holy shit! That's sweet! Damn, if that were 24 frets I'd offer anything in trade! Is that an import or USA?

[warlok]

It's an import. i bought it in '95. Don't care about the USA/Import, Class Axe, Gunslinger, etc. It's mine and the one I'll be buried (actually burned up or propped in the corner) with.

Oh God yes, love the finish & maple board. Always found that shaped hs a little weird though, a bats wing that's been injured & had splints put in to straighten it up.


As for the Gunslinger, I ordered a Super Distortion for it today.

[Snoogans]

Cool guitar! I love Gunslingers, I've had a couple - one good, and the other awesome!
Has anyone else ever seen a Gunslinger Vee? There was one at a nearby guitar store, way back when the first ones arrived on these shores. Exactly the same neck and hardware as a regular USA 'slinger, but with a pointy King V-shaped body. Never seen anything like it since, not even on the interwebs...

excluding the newer imports I always thought the usa's looked great the NJ series looked funny and the lower end platinum/raven headstocks looked really stupid. I'm glad the newer ones copied the usa headstock angle.

the Chinese necks are thicker then the Korean retros.

Ah, that's good to know. I'd love to have another Korean model some day. Not so sure I'd want a Chinese one; though, I don't really mind thicker necks.

[straycat]

The Korean Gunslingers are nice guitars I've missed a few The MIC ones don't do it for me.The neck pockets are way off.
The USA gunslingers are bad ass.

Here is my MIK Gunslinger:



Changed the PU to a ToneZone. It's not a bad guitar but not great. Neck has somekind of thin satin like finish, frets are thin and tall and it feels about the size/shape of my RG350M (Wizard II). It's not a bad guitar but the Floyd on it feels kinda cheap. I bought it for some "sentimental value" when BC Rich released that serie.

[Rich#6]

don't the mik gunslinger have german floyds?(cheap for them since they have the same parent company).

Anyway of checking this? If it does, the one on mine feels cheap. The adjustment screws are not very precise, they feel rough.

[Rich#6]

if you pull it off it will say made in Germany on the bottom of the plate. it should just say Floyd rose and the saddles should be square at the back of them(Korean ones have an angle cut).

Mine was the same color, and there was also a Tone Zone in it when I got it, as well as a Trem Stop. The Floyd was fine, but it definitely wasn't German made.
