BC Rich unleashed their new Classic NJ series. These are so much better looking than the old ones. Maple neck thru, nato sides. The natural one looks very 70's. Prices are between $500 and $700.
I think I want one.

Yeah, the new neck-thru NJs are pretty sweet as well.
-
sorry ratty... did you just say.. you THINK you want one?
:o :o :o :o :o

It's no good, I'm gonna have to sell the wife :( I'll miss her and all, but a classic Bitch in blue and an NT Mockingbird in black quilt with a floyd are calling me..........
-
LOL! :lol: :lol:
-
$500 - $700, make that £500 - £700 once they hit UK shores. Still though, for a thru-neck guitar, it's a decent enough price.
I want the red one, they just remind me of early Slayer :twisted:
-
I like BC Rich Eagles the best, they look soo godly.
-
I've seen them they have some in a guitar store I go to, they RRP is something like 950 or something and in the store they are reduced down too 469 or something crazy like that.

I think it's a real shame that when you think BC Rich you think of cheap ultra pointies like the Warlock and Beast, when their seventies designs (Bitch, mockingbird, eagle etc) are actually quite nice guitars.

Yep, whenever I normally think of BC Rich, I think of posers with slipknot guitars :lol:

what's nato? a kind of mahogany??
-
I love them apart from the separate tailpiece and t-o-m. I prefer the wraparounds. That said, they are an amazing price for a neck though. I've seen then at $499 on ebay. There is an original out there that I am watching, at the moment it is still affordable, but I don't think it will stay that way!

Nato is eastern mahogany, or so they say.
@ Sambo: I sure want one but it's not a priority. I first want (need) a Gretsch.
BC Rich kinda became a victim of their own designs. The Bitch was designed to accomidate a 10 string design with 4 tuners at the back. After that they designed some other radical shapes, the Mockingbird being the first. The radical designs were quickly adopted by the metal scene but it seriously harmed their image of being a serious guitar builder.

Apparently it's a cheap Eastern mahogany http://www.johnsongtr.com/Tips.90.0.html
It's like a softer mahogany.
Does anyone know if it's a bar-stewardisation of "Nyatoh" , an Indonesian redwood used as a cheap alternative to teak?

I think that what harmed their image of being a serious guitar builder most is building piece of cr@p guitars in the far east.

I was going to get one of these, but then i saw it was a BC Rich :lol:
-
I had a NJ neck thru assassain.. it was ok.
Its suprising how poor alot of guitars feel thesedays...
I was testing some amps in a shop and 1st tried an ESP Ltd EC with EMG HZ's (£659).. it felt like a peice of plywood and sounded dead.
Next up was an Ibanez Jem 555 (£850).
Nicer neck, still sounded poop and felt cheap.
Tried one of these BC Rich warlocks, it sounded dead but felt nicer than the other two, but the neck was really wide it seemed... still they look amazing at least.. wouldnt mind one for cheap money actually..

The first guitar I bought was a cheapo plywood Warlock. Not very good for your image, indeed.

What REALLY damaged them as a serious guitar builder was the death of Bernie Snr.
When Snr. died and his son got control all HELL broke loose. All the Gay L.A. Metal (Glam) excess) was wholeheartedly embraced by B.C.Rich and the drugs and partying and therefore arguing KILLED the company.
Neal Moser is writing a book on the whole thing and what I have read thus far is a better "Rock Soap Opera" than the Motley Crue story!
