GUNSLINGER'S BABY!!!

http://bcrich.com/2008_bc_rich_catalog.pdf

sorry guys, but I am no longer remotely interested in an 85 reissue, nor a Beak reissue!

BC F*CKIN RICH!:drool

[halo71]

lol, nice 31.55mb catelog ya linked there! ;)

[BeN5150]

hopefully it works for you guys :D it works fine for me!

(Hell yeah I linked the whole catalogue, they put out the old pointy necks again!)

[JimmyDenton]

gunslingers, cool. The colours available, crap

[BeN5150]

gunslingers, cool. The colours available, crap

yeah, the Slingers need more than one colour per model :D

But I can EASILY live with Red & yellow:thumbsup

[DethConsumer]

I wonder if HHI got their quality control together. They were putting out crap for a long time.:-x

I played one of those NJ Classic series guitars not too long ago, and aside from a tuning issue, it sounded & played great!:thumbsup

is your (new era) Wave a HHI?

BTW, Jeff, do you still have that vid of you playing some Robin Trower with it? (I loved that video, and would like to see it again!:thumbsup )

[halo71]

Dont know what it is, I've played many BC's over the years. Was never really impressed with any of them.

[markshredder]

I very nearly soiled myself when I saw that shredtastic yellow gunslinger.

Unless this Pacer RI blows me away, I can see me purchasing one of them.

I really love that guitar (NJ Wave Neck-Thru). It by far is the heaviest guitar I own ( with major tone to die for). When I bought it brand new (outta the box) it needed some serious attention (everything needed to be tightened down from the tuners to the nut). After I got it working well, it plays killer. I love Floyd Bridges and usually BC Rich guys love Kahlers. I think that is why they discontinued the model.

GUNSLINGER'S BABY!!!



HELL YEAH!!! It's about freakin' time.:headbang

[velocity]

is there any word on price for the gunslingers yet?

[Axem_Pizza]

Pointys!!!!!!!!:jump

[Kramer_nut]

Sorry, never met a BC Rich I even remotely liked. Can't stand the shapes of the bodies or the headstocks.

Todd

[fubarguitars1]

Gotta get me a Stealth.

[Holzar88]

OK,

I've never been a BC Rich fan at all. But those Gunslingers are cool. I love the hum/sing configuration aesthetically. I just think it looks very cool. If they did that guitar in blue, I'd be forced to consider it.

Cool stuff.

Glad to see the maple boards slowly coming back, too. Maybe Ibanez's 20th anniv. RG 550s last year are helping catalyze that trend.

[Nightswan]

I asked Tracii about the gunslingers being re-released but he woulnt say anything other then there was talk about doing it. Supposedly he had something to do with it. Not sure how much truth there was to that but MAN I'M STOKED TO SEE A NEW GUNSLINGER!!!! I Can't wait for pricing.

[Shwayman11]

so i am DEFINETLY getting a HxS Gunslinger.
its settled.

[RevolutionCalling]

That yeller Gunslinger is awesome... I sold a yellow ST3 this past year, which I don't really regret... but the maple and the reverse headstock scream CC DeVille. I might have to look into it...

[markshredder]

Old-school Charvels, Neon Ibanez RG550's, BC Rich Gunslingers... hell, even Carvin have brought back their 80s models... Gibson/Yo should take heed.

[JimmyDenton]

charvel aint round for long though. i agree come on gibson move it, move it, move it!!!

[PacerMedic]

I'll definitely be wanting a yellow 'slinger if the price is right, but I wouldn't pass on a deal for a Baretta or something else that's a lot more to have one.

[Dane]

Great link! The yellow Gunslinger is SO cool!

[aywilson]

I'll definitely be wanting a yellow 'slinger if the price is right, but I wouldn't pass on a deal for a Baretta or something else that's a lot more to have one.

$600.00 for the single hum Gunslinger. I have already placed my order for the yellow one. Delivery ETA is mid to late February.

Where did you find the price?

I have a friend that owns a music store in Ruston, La., Piney Hills Studios. Ask for Nick.

[kramerpete]

Gunslingers!!:thumbsup I want....I want....:drool :drool

[spade2you]

Good to see that they're making the good stuff again. I should get another one some day. A maple reverse Gunslinger would do nicely!

[RevolutionCalling]

:toast Looks like I'm headed up to the BC dealer near me to throw a down payment on one of the new Gunslinger retros... I really want the yellow one, but the red one seems a little more versatile with a single in the neck...

Ah fuck it, yeller it is!

[PacerMedic]

Yelly for me too!:thumbsup

http://www.joelski.com/Slingers.jpg

[spade2you]

I wonder how much they charge for custom Gunslingers. I wouldn't mind one with a matching headstock and slanted humbucker with neck single.

[KramerLeftyFreak]

Anybody else notice one of the Gunslinger models looks an awful lot like a famous Kramer model:whistle

Am I completely uneducated about BC Rich or do you smell rip-off? (cough cough BARETTA cough cough)

Am I wrong?

[halo71]

And the HS on them is reminds me of my mid 80's Westone! :whistle

[PacerMedic]

Am I completely uneducated about BC Rich or do you smell rip-off? (cough cough BARETTA cough cough)

Am I wrong?

That's exactly what the old Gunslinger was ;), and probably why it's appealing to so many Kramer guys today. If you can't get a real Baretta, go for teh next best thing. Once again, way freakin' go Gibson! :thumbsup

[amerturk]

I like the GS, but the headstock doesn't do it for me.

Also, they need to get away from the satanic shaped bodies. I'm mean really, who the hell plays those anyway? I've never seen one on stage...hell, I'd be too ashamed!

[PacerMedic]

I like the GS, but the headstock doesn't do it for me.

It's a touch smaller than the old one, but it doesn't bother me. Kinda like Kramer making the 84 HS too big only better mistake, IMO.

You're right on that one! They're in kid's bedrooms everywhere! :lol

I wouldn't put too much stock in Kramer being the original. Keep in mind almost all of the companies in the 80's had a guitar like this. I played a friend's 1983 Charvel that was almost exactly like a 1984 era Kramer.

[RevolutionCalling]

Well, I went and put down some money at my local BC dealer for a yeller Gunslinger... I guess these guitars are such a hit so far at NAMM that there's quite the backlog of shops calling in to order them. One guy in this post said mid-late Feb for delivery, I was told April-May:scratchhe I don't care though, I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

[Phatonion5150]

Never liked B.C. Rich. Hate there weird shapes...



BUT, that yellow gunslinger is:drool

[JimmyDenton]

i may try one out if my local gets them in. i quite like the Warlock the bich and the mockingbird but yeah the rest are abit OTT and now that bands that used them are dying down maybe more functional guitars will become available?

[slashrox]

I like the Yellow & Red Gunslinger :drool :drool

[marsmountain]

You can get original Gunslingers on Ebay for the same price if your timing is right. I just watched one go recently for $500.00. Just my two cents.
K.

[RevolutionCalling]

Yeah I know, I sold a USA BC this past year for $450. It too was yellow, but I didn't like the pickups, or the Ibanez Edge trem (the USA's came stock with these for a period of time).

I wanted a brand new one just to say I did... no fretwear, dings, scratches, nothing. I keep my toys pretty mint, so I want this thing fresh.

[BeN5150]

MY GOD, WAIT 'TIL YOU GUYS SEE BC RICH NAMM PICS!!!

SNAKESKIN!!!!

MY GOD, WAIT 'TIL YOU GUYS SEE BC RICH NAMM PICS!!!

[JimmyDenton]

now thats got me interested!

[KramerUK]

Never been a big fan of BCR or the headstock, but always quite liked the Gunslinger, and that GS Power with the 2 EMG's and a Mahogany body looks pretty tasty :drool

[Ultimutt]

I take it we have a few Gunslinger fans here?:D
I agree some of their shapes are somewhat extreme, but BCR are definitely cool! I'm all for the weird satanic shapes:evil
My first bass was a BCR Warlock. Back in '86 I believe. One of the lower end ones mind you. I still have it.:007 I was actually debating on getting a 'Beast' bass a while back. But soon passed on it for my Dean Razorback:guns

:toast

Wow, that's cool about the 'Slinger reissues. Color selection is wek IMO, especially since I have an original yellow one.

Thay snakeskin NAMM is very cool. But what's up with that knob? It looks like it's off of a bank vault combination lock.

[floydkramer]

does the gun slinger model only come with a reverse head?... i do like the looks of it..but i really dont care for reversies

[BeN5150]

yeah, depending on which one you like,

the ASM standard is bolt on, mahogany body.

the ASM pro is neck through, alder body, EMG's, OFR.

and both have a regular headstock

[slashrox]

I like the Yellow & Red Gunslinger :drool :drool

Just did this up quickly in Kisekae. Kisekae fucked up (excuse language :happy1) on me and froze when I tried to add the pickup switch so thats why its not in the picture.

Now imagine the Gunslinger shaped body and the Gunslinger Headstock. If I were to get a Gunslinger, I would like Yellow or Red...but most of all...GREEN!! :thumbsup :drool :drool

[floydkramer]

oooo, thats good news... :)

[lostinthemasses]

how about this, i know you guys were dissing the weird body shapes, but they're coming out with a Chuck Schuldiner tribute Stealth guitar, and a portion of the proceeds go to his family.

http://www.bcrich.com/stealth.html

anyone else here a huge fan of his?

[Shwayman11]

anyone know where to get one?
I have a little extra spending money right now and would love to pick one up

[halo71]

But what's up with that knob? It looks like it's off of a bank vault combination lock.

The knob that is supposed to look like the cylinder out of a revolver pistol? Hence the name Gunslinger.:thumbsup

[Axe]

I couldn't resist,,,, I pre-ordered one of these yesterday:headbang

http://www.bcrich.com/images/lrg/gunslinger_retro_red.jpg

IMO this thing is crying for about 19 stickers to be slapped on it:thumbsup

[KramerUK]

And there we have it if anyone at MusicYo is listening.....

the Kramer killer :-x

[KramerUK]

And boy does it look good :drool

[spade2you]

Keep us posted!

[muttznmongrelz]

in the "marsmountain" posted photo...

I had picked up the body in an eBay Auction a couple of years back as a replacement for my original G-Slinger Body (had cracked by one of the trem posts...which I had repaird and put together w/a new Bullseye Camo Paint Job paired w/a 1991 Ibanez RG550 Rosewood Neck for my now 9 1/2 year old son...who has begun learning on it as of recent) and that body popped up for $90.00 or $120.00 (don't remember which) so of course I jumped on it.

Mars...where did you get that photo Bro???

[muttznmongrelz]

:thumbsup

[Phred]

The new Gunslingers are on Ebay now.

Scott

[Louie Music]

Yeah I saw that. give it a couple of months, I'm sure Guitar Center and Musician's Friend will have them for less.

[Shwayman11]

how much less do you think louie? :scratchhe

[Axe]

$599 is what I'm seeing and that is the price I pre-ordered at. With the present specs I'd be real surprised to see em cheaper anywhere.

[Axe]

Mine is due here Tuesday:headbang :headbang

I'm really looking forward to this:)

[Shwayman11]

post pics when you get it!!

[Axe]

No doubt:thumbsup

[Shwayman11]

which one did you get?

[Axe]

http://www.funkymunkymusic.com/store/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=92

I dealt with Scott.

[RevolutionCalling]

If yours is supposed to show up Tuesday... I can't be far behind ya. I was going to cancel my order for one reason or another, but I think I'll hold off now.

[Axe]

I'd call your vendor and remind them that you & your order still exist;)

Mine has been backed up to Weds now.. Good ole UPS:arrg

How does that company stay in business? I've had more grief out of UPS in the last 2 weeks:arrg :arrg :arrg

[RevolutionCalling]

I called the shop a few minutes ago, the guy on the phone thought they'd be seeing them around late April-early May...but I told him that you expected to see yours this week, and he said it was entirely possible. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

I also know one other guy that has recieved his Red already and awaiting a Yellow single HB model..

[RevolutionCalling]

That's good news. From the looks of that ebay guitar, the BC logo on the headstock is more accurately sized than the stock photos. That's a good thing...

Is it me? Or does that fretboard appear to be a mile wide??:D

[BeN5150]

If Alvin Wilson shows his head, he got his and said it rocks the house ;)

I'm considering scraping my Focuretta project (which is assembled) in exchange for one of these

[unclefloydrose]

Rich's are the best - I have a blue 8? neck-thru Stealth; '79 dark sunburst Eagle Bass and an 8? Gunslinger in a red wine sort of color - the necks on all of these are awesome - the old USA California made ones were by far the best quality craftmanship - not sure about the newer ones though.

Indeed, Alvin is who I was referring to.. Where ya at Alvin??:toast\


I'm looking forward to this.. I wore a BC Rich as a stage guitar for a long long time thru the late 80s and early 90s.. Haven't owned one since
