Ahoy! I've been on tour in america for the last month, doing a coast to coast run and back. It's been a lot of fun, just got home last week and I've done a bit of a gear write up at http://sixstringsamurai.co.nz/2013/04/26/life-on-tour-in-the-usa-with-ross-mcdougall/

I figured I'd apologise for creating 3 new threads at once by making one of them filled with guitar porn, haha. I'm a B.C Rich endorsee, our other guitarist is a schecter endorsee and our bassis just hooked up with jackson, so we were lucky enough to be able to visit their offices and the b.c rich/schecter factories. I went a bit snap happy and thought it would be rude not to share!

Anywho, hope you all enjoy I certainly did!

As of mid April they only had 3 working prototypes of the Schecter amps. The cabinets were all ready for production already though.

Always love behind the scene photos.

Some beautiful necks in the second to last pic.

Welcome aboard. At first people here seem a little crazy but after a while you'll realize we're only lunatics.

Cool. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing pics like that, especially if they show any tools, fixtures, machines, and/or items in the process.
