Dez was playing one when I saw the Jerry-fits some time ago. It sounded amazing actually.Didn't one of the dudes in Machine Head have one?
Guys I’m telling you
black pearloid instead of abalone.
Way too much abalone all over the models I've seen for my taste.
Take the abalone off this and then I'd buy one.

So actual abalone shell is trash, but plastic "mother of toilet seat" is better?
pearloid can be cool when done sparingly.
Whole body/neck done in it? HELLLL NAW
Im just saying as a baseline it’s a marked improvement over abalone as a purfling substance
1. It’s black and fits thematically for a Hellraiser/LTD 1000/BCR Extreme level guitar
2. It goes well aesthetically with the colors chosen for said production guitars
3. Plastic use I can’t really say is a more eco friendly solution but at least it’s not a poor sea snail
4. The neck binding on K7s looked sick
Black pearloid would be hideous as a purfling.
As binding, I'm with you. Worked well on the Alexi Blacky.
Everyone here secretly thinks that by criticizing abalone and suggesting "what everyone really wants", they will get bc rich to make their dream guitar.
I looked it up after I posted that and you’re right purfling is inlaid and not binding
also LOOK AT THIS AND SAY ITS NOT SICK AF

I dunno, man... a botched breast-job is no more fun to look at than an overabundance of laminated sea snail remnants.
Who looks at botched boob jobs?
