Re: anyone like maple BCRs

I'll keep my eyes peeled mate. That switch configuration is very unique! I think Derringer had it on his prototype. Actually, he did. See the pic below. One very cool guitar. If I ever see one like it, you'll be the first to know. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]



Here's another one, but it's pink and it doesn't have the entire series of switches.

Where did you hear that each one was unique?

Re: anyone like maple BCRs

Alright...I found a few very old pics that I just scanned.
First two are from around 84-85 and are my old Stealth.
The last is early 80's with my old Mockingbird (ignore the mullet).

Although it is essentially the same, i don't believe that either of the two that you posted to kick this thread off are the same guitar...looks to me like the grain is different, what do you think?

Re: anyone like maple BCRs

It was a great guitar. One of the many that I stupidly let get away so I could buy more "super strats" in the mid to late 80's [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I believe I actually traded this one for a custom order Dean Cadillac that didn't last long either. So many years and so many guitars ago [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: anyone like maple BCRs

Here she is, the colour is a pearl turquoise (aqua-marine) which changes from blue to green depending on the light. The paint is MINT - not a pit/scratch to be found. The guitar was setup way wrong when I got it so I've snipped the strings and begun the clean-up as you'll see in the pics. Obviously the flip locks and Kahler have been added. I must say whoever did it, did an alright job (yes, I'd have preferred if it was not modified too) compared to some I have seen; they went to the time and effort to make brass covers for the bridge holes which accentuate the shape.

No, it's a shame they added it, that's all. The Kahler is a perfectly good trem. It's funny, if I go to a Fender forum, I get hassled for liking any trems, go to the Jackson one, everyone hates Kahlers, go to the BCR one, everyone hates Floyds. I like 'em all [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: anyone like maple BCRs

LOL I haven't played a Kahler since the late '80s or early '90s. Maybe I'd like them better today than I used to. The Floyd always worked for me, and I loved it, but now all my guitars have fixed bridges... go figure. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I'd love to get a BC Rich Wave or Ignitor with a Floyd. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
