Guitars with straight necks would be a good start. But it will probably be a new line of imports that come with a worthless package of crap that are all geared toward their latest popular signed artist.

I know.... I don't even think about BCrich when I want a new axe, but I was just thinking they are gunna have to do something to combat the kick-ass Jackson line.

Re: BC Rich at NAMM?

Personally I think their USA market has dried up almost entirely. So that only leaves the import market. Which they have been working heavily. While Jackson/Fender certainly hasn't been overlooking the import line I think a lot more of their time and money has been spent on the USA guitars that started it all. When all is said and done Jackson/Fender made the better decision in my opinion. Especially where the Charvel line is concerned. Also as I see it BC Rich doesn't exist anymore. Sure the name and the designs are the same. But they sure aren't the same guitars.

Re: BC Rich at NAMM?

it's too bad, but when i think of BC Rich, it is never about the expensive USA models, it is always about red warlocks covering the walls of my local GC. the ones that scream plywood...the ones the should say "BC RICH - built by Hondo" on them. BC Rich has become the king of crap guitars in my opinion.....

Hey...that's an insult to the Hondo of old. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] They were great [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: BC Rich at NAMM?

It would be nice to see them put out a Steve Smythe model, but we all know that's not gonna happen. So yeah, nothing worth looking at from BC Rich, as always.

Re: BC Rich at NAMM?

They would do well to get rid of those gay-ass headstocks that they insist on using on everything. But then I guess 14 year old kids (who also happen to be the only people stupid enough to buy their junk) wouldn't like them any more.

Re: BC Rich at NAMM?

If they had half a brain they would bring back a Gunslinger line, with graphics and real Floyds. Price them a good bit below the new Charvels and get the players that can't afford the new Charvels and want "real" '80s style guitars.

Re: BC Rich at NAMM?

It's really sad, isn't it?

I remember when the BC Riches were all exotic and rare Mockingbirds and Biches that hung high on the store wall way beyond the reach of my grubby teenage hands (or wallet)!! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: BC Rich at NAMM?

The only reason I won't own a BC Rich Warlock now is it's hard to find an NJ series , & that fugly headstock.I'ld like to get a Mockingbird also , same reason.

Re: BC Rich at NAMM?

so, anybody see anything? take a picture? eh? is this thing on?

[JRTME]

Re: BC Rich at NAMM?

Yeah it's too bad

[Jackson-Charvel]

Re: BC Rich at NAMM?

BC Rich basically overlooks the NJ Series line too, catering to the Platinum, Platinum Pro and Bronze crap. I never understood that and Ranted about this years ago on the B C Rich forum and ROnZ never got my point I guess.

I've always wanted an option for a hardtail or a TOM bridge for the NJ series. You pay more money and get less options & colors... duh...

I won't even get started on that ugly scrotum skewer headstock either
