My B.C Rich frankenslinger

[xCaptainx]

Ahoy hoy!

Long time lurker, first time poster. Rah rah rah, thought I'd kick things off with a recent project of mine, my B.C Rich frankenslinger!

I'm a B.C Rich artist and own a few of their Gunslinger Retros. One night I noticed the yellow one would be a perfect starting point for an EVH bumblebee attempt, so I had a fiend of mine do it for me and it turned out great!

For added authenticity haha.

This is it with my other gunslinger. I have an SH4 in the frankenslinger which sounds amazing. Perfectly suited for this style of build, of course. I've put an SH6 in the green gunslinger. It's been really interesting comparing the two pickups in exactly the same guitar. I play metalcore and melodic death metal, the SH6 is a more 'traditional' fit for my style of music, and our tuning (drop C#) but I LOVE how crisp and dry the SH5 sounds, it's my favourite of the two.

Anywho, thought I'd share!

Re: My B.C Rich frankenslinger

Nice! I know a fellow kiwi Ed has a current EVH project underway.

Considering this is based on the bumblebee, I should probably call is a bumbleslinger? haha. or a Gumblebee haha.

Simple, but brutal!

Single pickup Strat-type guitars are killer :headbang:

Re: My B.C Rich frankenslinger

Looking pretty awesome, especially this photo! Looks clean & professional. I paint guitars myself and do customizing so it's a thrill checking these kinds of threads out. Good photos and the guitar turned out killer.

Re: My B.C Rich frankenslinger

Question- I have a 2 Hum Charvel body- how many of you would fill the neck pickup route with bondo to do a bumblebee?

 

[RorySquier]

Re: My B.C Rich frankenslinger

I think I'd use a piece of wood instead of Bondo. Bondo is not a very good tonewood.
