Incoming Bernie Rico Jr custom 7-string!
« on: November 11, 2010, 12:18:17 PM »
Hey dudes

Just got some cellphone pictures from Bernie Rico Jr of my finished custom Jekyll 727. The finish looks ridiculous!!







It's all mahogany neck-thru with a big flame maple top. Went with the Aftermath bridge, with a Riff-Raff neck.  :)

Cheers man, yeah definitely a bit more restrained!

All the new stuff I've been getting is the result of shifting lots of gear around about a year ago, customs take a while to arrive! I have a non-exclusive endorsement with Rico Jr, so this guitar was more affordable than it might have otherwise been  :)

Ooh that's a beauty and no mistake!

Although does your Luthier know he didn't quite get the neck pickup aligned?

:D

Congrats, looking forward to the clips from this beast :)

Again another stunning axe making its way to you, Nolly! Your taste is impeccable, heh. I bet it growls like a rabid Dog outside a butchers, can't wait for clips.  :D

Happy almost-NGD. :lol: I had to move my laptop off the coffee-table and onto my lap after seeing this. For obvious reasons.
