        I don't know much about them either, but I think they're pretty cool, too. They may only do them in the Custom Shop like Jamie said, but I've never been that familiar with B.C. Rich. Ken (WarriorX7) may be able to help, as he worked for Class Axe at one time.
        I know Jon Schaffer from Iced Earth used to use them. I'd love to own one of those one day. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

          They were intended as Chuck Schuldiner's "sig model" AFAIK. At least they gave one or two to him around the time of the Symbolic tour, which he did play on that tour, but eventually went back to his Stealths.
          I've also seen pics of one of the guys in Testament using one, can't remember if it was Eric or Steve though.

            The ignitors are pretty rare. Theres actually one on e-bay right now though. I know Jon Schaffer from Iced earth used them as well. Ronz's site www.bc-rich.com should have pics of them. www.guitarasylum.com might have pics as well. Im pretty sure www.Edromanguitars.com has some too.

                    they are rare, i believe they were POST Class Axe, USA only. i know its in my 95' catalog 1st year the Ricos where back. but i dont know much about the ClassAxe era. i have never seen one in person & have not seen one on ebay or anywhere so i wonder if they even made them as a production guitar or if was just custom built to order only.

                      There is a white custom shop one on eBay right now.

                        It was Steve Smyth from Testament. I actually played one of his Ignitors when he was in Vicious Rumors, and we did a few shows with them - he had one of the prototypes, if I remember correctly.

                        It balanced better than you'd expect, and was actually good to play, too - I remember being very surprised, as I've played a lot of crappy ClassAxe Rich's.

                          Didn't Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth) use one of these briefly too?

                          I have a pic of him with what looks like an Ignitor, but hard to tell. I know he uses mainly Warlocks and ST's...but I could swear this guitar was an Ignitor [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
