Retro Gunslinger on its way to Georgia...

[wilkinsi]

I'm guessing USA this or next month, the UK definitely won't get any til September as advised by Rosetti (UK distributor). So I'm not holding my breath either. Last time I ordered a BCR in september, it turned up late november (2004).

Congrats, Alvin. Looking forward to getting a full review on both the red and yellow slingers.

Has it showed up yet?

[RR05xx]

I admit I am interested in this as well. I had borrowed a gunslinger from a buddy when I started playing again and ended up keeping it for a year. The wood was good! Very charvel like, but different, and not in a bad way.

I think H-S is my favorite pickup config. Nice Axe

It doesn't get much cooler...sweet guitar!!!

Well, the Gunslinger arrived last week and I have to say, it is well worth the $$. The fret work is incredible, the fret edges are smooth as silk. The fretboard has very little to no radius at all, nice and flat. The neck is thin, not Charvel Model series thin, but close. The DiMarzio pickups sound great. I think the neck single is a Chopper. I'll post more when I have the chance to play it a little more. And, I'll get some pics up later, too.

Cool Alvin.
Body reminds me a little of the Wayne/Gibson model he did for them.
Kinda.
Sorta.
Anyhow, looks totally cool.
Peace bra!

congrats, looks cool. Does it come in just yellow and red or is there a neon green version?

[wilkinsi]

Red and yellow only. Too bad, because I wouldn't mind that neon green with diamond inlays myself.

[Alvin_Wilson]

No green version that I am aware of. The Gunslinger Retros come in only red and yellow. There is a black one called the Gunslinger Power with EMG's in a two-hum set up with a rosewood fretboard.

So basically an Assassin?

SWEET, sounds like they got it close to the originals. hopefully if they start selling they will add more color choices.

There was a pic of a green one from NAMM...it must have been a one-off.

[Mikernaut2]

The green one at NAMM was a custom shop piece. Larry from Beat Street Music got it and had posted pics over at the BC Rich Players forum. I loved the look of it until I found out the price. ( wasnt even a neckthru for the big $$$)
