Hello all, I recently got a 1980s bc Rich Gunslinger from a small town guitar shop for a real deal -$300 total with an original hard shell case. The the headstock states it was made in the USA and I am fairly sure it's from the 1980s (said the salesman) but I would love to know the exact model, year color, value blah blah blah, but I can't seem to get any info on the thing. It has new looking matte black Sperzel tuners, obviously non original (to the guitar) dirty fingers pickups, which really sucks because it's a great pickup but since it has a trem it's spaced incorrectly (don't know whose idea that was! LOL!), and a USA made black Kahler Floyd Rose style "Steeler" trem that I understand was only produced for a short time under a license -and some considered it superior to the original? Lastly, the color reminds me of Gibson's "Pelham blue" or maybe a light slate blue I would personally call it. I'll toss some pics down below oh and by the way the serial number is CA0303 it's barely readable on the back of the headstock. Thanks for any help I'd really love to know!!!
