Gunslinger looks like the old Charvels actually. Not so bad. Can't really go wrong with the Strat shape

I'm not clued-up about BC Richs but I've seen a fair few Gunslingers kicking about on eBay and they never seemed to get the cutaways quite right. Maybe I'm thinking of Assassins, or whatever they call them these days.

Honestly, I've not kept up with them in years. Last time I was up to speed on BC rich, there were about 6 models, I think the Bich, the Warlock, the Ironbird, the Beast, and others I forget. In fact, the last new thing I heard about was the Platinum series I think, the ones with the easy loading strings. I can only assume they weren't so good, seeing as only them and Floyd Rose (who, to be fair, created the system) seem to have used it in the four years or so they've been in production. I had to Google image both the Gunslinger and the Assasin.

Assasin looks a little nicer than the Gunslinger. But then to be fair, I've always preferred a carved top. My third guitar (after the nylon acoustic from a charity shop and the 1 pickup Encore that cost £80 from Argos) was one of these:

Actually the one I have is an Aria Pro II, pretty much the same except the logo and mine doesn't have the coil tap. Had that for about nine years now, still plays and sounds awesome! Killer for downtuning, have it in D with a dropped 6th string at the moment for the band I'm in. Usually have it in D or C#. Fucking killer

B.C. Rich's just break. They're rubbish.

I do think BC Rich are finally trying to claw their way out obscurity at last. If you check their site, you'll see they're using neck-through construction and Original Floyd Roses on some of their guitars. Whilst they'll inevitably be pushing out the same shit as usual, they do now seem to be offering construction-line models that may actually be worth owning. They've also 'done an Ibanez' and gone for classic reissues:

I want one of those.

[Fucking stupid pixel limit prevents me once more from posting pictures.]

Shame they have floyd roses, cause I'd buy one otherwise.

They're Original Floyd Roses at least, so they will work if correctly set up. If that yellow one had a non-recessed Floyd Rose, it'd pretty much be my dream guitar.

Hmm...

I may have to track one down anyway. They're probably a limited run, though.

Any floyd rose is gay. Oh my, my string has snapped (again) I best stop band practice for ten years while I restring it.

Invented so you can make the noise "Woooo". Knob'eads.

Block it if you don't need it. That or just stop snapping strings, you complete amateur.

This is a rather intriguing development. I could actually buy that at the moment seeing as the fucking cunts at HBOS extended my credit limit. I didn't even ask them to, they're just luring me into a horrible spiral of debt.

Or you could get one of them Charvel's that Lev has. They had the white one is Scayles window for about 2 months. Probably still there.

Scayles?!

PAH!

I'd want a Floyd Rose on it. Besides, I already have too many guitars already and I'm not sure I could justify getting another Superstrat when I have these:

Not me you prick. I don't have a floyd rose.
