very cool sounds, but not my thing at all. the graphics and the shape. Never been much of a V fan. I am pretty sure I am going to get the Gibson LP. I am still strongly considering ordering a BC Rich custom shop. Probably go with a Wave shape with a 28 inch scale and a kahler tremolo. If i go forward, the gibson will be a great guitar while i wait for the custom BC Rich to be done.

I never really considered B.C Rich customs, how pricey do they get? Also how "custom" can you take them?

[Thrull]

they're do just about anything you want except make you a new shape due to ownership rights issues. They used to before HMG took them over. But they'll do just about anything to any of their models. prices creep past 4k (USA) pretty quick though. I have ordered 2 and love them both. I've owned a total of 4 HMG era USA handmades and none of them have disappointed. There were some horror stories of orders getting lost and being messed up in the late Bernie JR Era and early HMG transition era, 1999-2003 but they got it all sorted out now.  They were changing shop locations and i guess shitee happens sometimes.

Here is the first guitar I ordered in 2007 and received in early 2008
2008 Mockingbird with Beast Headstock



Here is the 2nd and my go to #1 guitar. Took nearly a year to be completed but was well worth the wait
2009 Ironbird




I bought this Virgin used and kick myself almost everyday for selling it.


Also bought this 2009 Ignitor used, couldnt get into the shape after getting over the novelty of it being the RAREST of BCR shapes

Oh man those Customs are beautiful! I love the direction of the quilt on the Ironbird. Amazing stuff, dude, lovely guitars! Thanks for the info!

Both awesome spec, but forgive me, I never liked the Virgin shape, heh. I guess some B.C Rich shapes are a bit like Marmite: you either love them or hate them.  :)

I'm much more of a "traditional" B.C. Rich man, in that I absolutely love the Mockingbird, Bich, Eagle and Wave shapes. I do own two Warlocks, though, those are my fave of their pointy shapes along with the Ironbird.

warlocks are among the nicest shapes ever made.

all good. As a die hard bc rich fan, i love nearly all of them and hope to have one of all someday. I must say i hate the warbeast, zombie, and the wrath

Good lord those BC Riches are gorgeous! Have you posted some more info on the 3-pickup Mock you're selling on here? PM'd, by the way..
