BC Rich gunslinger grey snakeskin

[Johnnyryche]

A huge thanks to Chris (Firebird V) for sending this gunslinger my way! I've been keeping my eyes out for one for a couple years. I'm a big fan of maple necks with a single hum and floyds - adding a cool graphic is another bonus! This one is in very good shape - a couple battle scars but the graphic hides them well. This one came loaded with a Duncan sreamin' demon and an original floyd rose. The neck is very smooth and broken in. Overall, I'm very excited to grab this one.

And for those of you who haven't dealt with Firebird V, he's a great guy to deal with. He sent this one to me with out a case in the middle of the christmas rush. He had this thing so well packed with bubble wrap and tape, a gorilla could have thrown this around and it would have still arrived in perfect shape! Thanks a bunch, Chris!!!

[Sanctuary]

Nice one!

[Firebird V]

Your welcome! Great dealing with you. Nice Pic too! The best Gunslinger I have ever played. The neck on it is a dream.

Very nice indeed! One general question... What does a slanted pickup offer? I play one almost regularly at a bud's house and notice no difference in tone, is there something i'm missing?

[straycat]

I've had 6 of those they are fantastic guitars.

WOW ! That's my dream BC Rich.

John is a True JCF Bro!
we've moved a couple back and forth between us now,
never an issue, if anything he goes above and beyond.

The slanted pickup was an attempt to reconcile the spacing of the polepieces of the pickup with the string spacing of the Floyd Rose, before Floyd spaced pickups were available.

That's a great looking Gunslinger, congrats!

Thanks for the kind words!

As for the neck, it is very close to my GMW necks (1 5/8") but slightly thinner. I've heard others say that they are very San Dimas like. The only thing I have to compare it to is my SD strathead which has a wider and narrower profile than this. As Chris mentioned above, it really is a killer neck- it's very comfortable.

congrats on a cool BC Rich with a cool reverse headstock

Interesting.. Thanks! Once again, beautiful axe!
