My USA handmade Bernie Rico Jr, Pics!!!!

[Justice4all]

Ok ive put down my Singlecut long enough to take some pixs of my 8 month old lump o wood.
Its a 2003 handmade USA Bernie Rico Jr Sinister Custom. Build number 01 03 03. As far as im aware theres only 5 of these in the worls at this time, and only one in this colour/finish/specs.

Its a mahogony body with a highly carved flamed maple top. (stunning!) Mahogony neck thru with an ebony fretboard. The inlays are what he calls his 3D stars, quite a bit different than your average dot or block inlay.

All hardware is Grover and finished in high gloss black.
The pups are SD SH6 in the bridge and Jazz in the neck, these sound huger than god in this guitar! And i can almost get a “round” sound outa the jazz pup, but still no sign of mudding out.

Now what amazes me about this guitar is the build quality, amazing to say the least! Not one fault.

Now the finish, the red dye over the mahogony and maple looks almost 2 inches deep due to the multi layers of gloss clear dripping all over it!
Just like a “candy apple”.....

Anyways just thought i’d share this “different” guitar with you all!

Re: My USA handmade Bernie Rico Jr, Pics!!!!

Not my cup o' tea but, aside from the Bich and Mockingbird, I'm not a big fan of BC Rich's (and now Bernie's) designs. This one is definitely more along the lines of the newer BCRs (e.g., Virgin) than the older ones that I prefer.

The details look well-done, though. Glad you dig it.

Besides being utterly rediculous, that guitar is beautiful, it must play very well indeed.

Anyway, I just had to say it...look carefully at these two:

HOLY CRAP....I'll go on the record in saying I hate BC Rich guitars, but that thing is friggin' VICIOUS!!!!!:beerchug:

Cool guitar.

I'm not normally into way out shapes, but that's a really nicely done guitar.

Believe me, we can tell. :dance:

It really is quite cool looking (in addition to being pointy of course). I don't know if it's something I'd buy, but I can certainly appreciate it.

I dub the..."Angry Beetle".

"The Dung Beetle".

I'm sure that thing plays sweet, but I'm with Alec- I like the classics.

What's the scale, 25.5"?

Cool guitar I'm really digging it. Must look very cool shredding a solo on that beast under lights, lazers and smoke!!! Damn! I absolutely love it!!!

Re: My USA handmade Bernie Rico Jr, Pics!!!!

That guitar is beautiful in an odd way, i love the color on it. I was checking out his website and the vixen caught my eye. If you don't mind saying, how much did that set you back?

I don't know what he paid, or how good these prices are, but this place will give you a good idea.
