i love that guiartasturasda

It sounds pretty tits. I only really got it because I bought had £250 [I got it for £190 S/H] to spare after I went to buy a Mesa/Boogie but bought an Engl instead. That and I was in a massive Whitesnake phase at the time. I prefer how my LTD plays to be honest because, unlike the Peavey, it's a 25.5" scale length.

I'm not sure they've ever come in white with black hardware. I researched them quite a bit before buying one and never saw that option at least. You can get them in string-through body too, so everyone's a winner.

Yeah, I want the string through explorer version. It's fucking fit.

I love it apart from the fact that there's inlays all over the stupid thing

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.

That sentence applies to anyone who breaks a string on a Floyd Rose style trem. I have 2 floating trem guitars, one I've had for about 4 years and the other for a year. I've broken one string, and that was because of poor build quality of the string. Blocked floating trems are ace, rather have one than a Fender or Tune-O-Matic bridge. Oh, and BC Rich have been doing neck thrus for years, they just charge a million pounds for them so no one buys them. They should really have capitalised when Slipknot got big.

they did, but they made crappy 'seven' models which never really took off, since they were more expensive than the plain models, also, who wants a Slipknot guitar?

Having looked at some prices, those BC Rich Gunslinger Retros must be made in Korea or somewhere seeing as you could barely buy the hardware at list price (Original Floyd Rose = c. £200; Dimarzio Super Distortion = c. £70) on it for the price some places are selling it. Still, I'm fucking getting one the minute I have £330 to spare.

To be fair, if they took that fucking "SEVEN" inlay off it, I'd have Mick Thompson's Ibanez.

That said I'd also have Mike Mushok's guitar. He might be a cunt but it plays pretty well.

Do you think his friends called him Mushroom Cock at school?

Hahaha! No, but I bet everyone else did

One of those red Gunslingers going for less than £290.

I would if I had the money to blow.

I really wanted to try one of them out at one point. Ill still have too sometime.

My only worry is that if you subtract the cost of the hardware from the price of the guitar, the cost needed to make the body and neck and to actually assemble the thing becomes marginal. Fair enough, you know the guitar is going to hold tune and sound OK with an Original Floyd Rose and Dimarzio Super Distortion but you have to pay over £500 for a Jackson of similar specifications.

Im not a fan of the fret board. Do they do them with darker fret boards? Ive never really been a fan of the light ones.

You'll find, Daniel, that maple necks are the win.
