Jackson Vs. BC Rich body shapes

[wilkinsi]

Has anyone noticed similarities between body shapes?
Examples:
Kelly vs. Mockingbird
Warrior vs. Beast or Stealth.
Who got the idea from who, then modified? Or is it just coincidence?

one can never win that game. How's this... soloist vs stratocaster ? ESP viper vs SG, ESP eclipse vs LP's. I think the most innovative design is the RR

[Widowmaker]

I would say that the Kelly is more like an Explorer.
The Warrior sure looks inspired by the Stealth.
No Jackson looks like a Beast.

No Jackson looks like a Beast.

...it just plays like one. :ROTF:

[skarhead]

if something then Ironbird/star/Warrior have something in common - to be honest - love the star shape , love the ironbird - no love for the warrior tho

[Mike]

GAH! That's one of the best Jackson models! Why no love?

I don't know if this is true...really. Ed Roman told me that BCR stuff was made by Jackson factory workers. He also told me that when the "BCR factory closed" he hired a bunch of the luthiers to build guitars for him... He also said that he invented the question mark...so.....

[Sanctuary]

Utter bullshit.

[buzzsaww]

Ed Roman taught God how to build guitars, then he slagged him for terrible build quality, ripped off all his designs and charged double for them.

BTW the Warrior is the best body design, comfy for sitting, standing, the neck is in just the right position. The only thing it lacks IMO is a forearm bevel.

[Venomboy]

It's possible that BCR workers went to Jackson or other companies. I don't have proof of this but it's possible. Jackson didn't build BCR stuff. That is complete bullshit.

[zeegler]

Why would anyone listen to Ed Roman?

I thought the story behind the Warrior was that someone at the factory was messing around with some RR bodys and found an interesting shape when putting them together...

BTW, as mentioned above, the Warrior shape is awesome for sitting and standing... perfect balance.

It was the pointy head shape that the warrior body is derived from.
