My Rico Jr. Guitars

[Soloist1]

I ment they look to steep and quick. There should be a nice smooth transition from the sides to the upper portion of the top. This is like binding level to, BAM, next level. If anything I'd say it looks more CNC'ed than other archtop axes.

Anyone remember Voodoo?

Looks like you have some old Alva decks no? The grey one is pretty nice imo.

Yeah I collect Alva decks... Mostly Fred Smith... He did the LOUD ONE tattoo on me last year. Fred has a shop in RI. He's really cool... he also did the Slayer Eagle on me a few months ago...


Here is Fred and myself...

That loud one tatoo looks like one of my freakin ex drummers.
He was a pretty extreme dude. Nice tats tho..

My first deck was an Alva John (Tex) Gibson. I also had a Craig Johnson.

[HuntinDoug]

My first deck was a treated 10ft. x 20ft with a leaf rail.

I had an original Dogtown Bob Biniak stick back in like 1979.

now I ride a Bulldog Skates Shogo Kubo 34" pig.

rip those fukkin pools!

I have a John Gibson Zorlac deck from way back when with the Pushead graphic on it. I want that bulls head on a guitar someday. Nice decks and nice work on the tattoos. IMO skateboard graphics would cross over nicely to guitars.

[Loudone]

Thanks man... A few more decks I have.... The only originals I have are the Alva ones... The others are all re-issues...




Fred working on the LOUD ONE tattoo...

The ironic thing is that BCR did actually produce a guitar that looks just like this (apart from the headstock). The Kahler site used to have pictures of it.

Here it is, the BC Rich stand from an early eighties NAMM show. Check the guitar out on the wall, immediately to the left of Gary Kahler's hip. Alias anyone?

[Loudone]

The new Mr. Hyde almost has that shape too (well... almost) ... I really like it. I'd get one all black...
