Anyone ever played a Gibson MRC?

[blakejcan]

It's a late 80's Gibson Superstrat bolt-on model designed by Wayne Charvel. 2 singles and a humber with a Floyd. One I'm looking was discovered by a friend in his step-dad's storage. Signed by Wayne Charvel on the truss rod cover. This is [NODE="38"]Rio BBQ/Texas CLIPS (various styles)[/NODE] of 200 made in the initial run. Weird to see a Gibson bolt-on but looks like a fun little shredstick

We had one at my local Mom & Pop that sat there until the price dropped to $800. I almost bought it but I didn't need another shred-stick. They are decent guitars, there is nothing "holy grail" about them. Believe it or not it was the head stock logo that turned me off on the guitar. It did have a pretty cool switching configuration. Here is the thread.

I guess this was a less fancy U2?

No totally different guitar. I had a Showcase U2 and a WRC at the same time back in the early 90s. The WRC is a bolt on super strat while the U2 was a set neck. The WRC is a cool guitar and in particular liked the stock single coils in mine as they are I think unique to those guitars. I had a Black WRC and worked for a Gibson dealer back in the late 80s. There was also a Showcase WRC that was pearl white with EMG's. I played the one we had at the shop often. The WRC stood for Wayne Ray Charvell. and wayne did design both the U2 and the WRC.

Oh gotcha. I am not up on my stratty Gibsons, I guess.
