I've seen MUCh worse. From BC Rich's lineup alone.

Remember that U.S. custom shop, one off/one of a kind Mockingbird guitar that Guitar Asylum (music store) had years ago? Man, that thing was crazy looking! When people saw it, they though a B.C. Rich guitar builder came to work drunk, started to carve a Mockingbird, or so he thought, messed up, threw in the trash, another guitar builder saw it in the trash and then finished it. And then Guitar Asylum picked it up. LOL! Jokes aside, it looked like something Pablo Santana (Jackson U.S. custom shop guitar builder) would have built. Like his version of a "extreme Mockingbird". It was funny because people called it a "polished turd" because even though it looked really weird, the craftsmanship was still there because it was built by the U.S. custom shop. When you start modifying guitars that already look weird, the results sometimes don't work.

The Mockingbird SLE!

It genuinely was a mistake.... builder was playing a round and it was left for years before being finished up as something different for NAMM. I’ve spent a while discussing this one in the past and if you slightly adjust the angle of the neck blank it’s not that bad. Glad it didn’t go any further though!

Not disputing that in the slightest , I mean there is a list and that thing belongs on it.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Oh yeah, that Fuckybird above is DEFINITELY an abomination. It's like if the Elephant Man became a guitar.

The Mockingbird SLE!

Yes!!! Man, that thing! LOL. Guitar Asylum had some really nice custom shop guitars. Remember that 8 string Beast guitar that they had? It definitely lived up to its name. LOL! That thing was freaking huge!

This is what happens when you don't make the Ignitor available to people.

I HOPE they release a Speed V with a kahler and inline headstock again. That was wicked

So Kerry's pre-ESP BC Rich V? I'll order two of those if they'd do it.

So long as they use the Speed V and not the Junior V.

What’s the difference?

For example Jackson says they have a “double Rhoads” V, but t just looks like a King V to me....

Nah, the Double Roads is fucking huge. Then again, the guy that helped design it (Robin Crosby) was fucking huge as well at 6'6.

The speed V is a completely different shape.

Speed V (AKA the BC Rich KKV, ESP KKV, ESP NV)

The JRV

 

[Mathemagician]

Ah ok. It’s the Texas approach. Got it.

Thanks for clarifying.

Jazz hands got to it while I was typing...

Actually that is the new speed v shape (2nd gen BCR kkv sig). The old BCR kkv is the same shape as the ESP kkv/nv which does have straight lines but at different angles making the wings fatter and shorter.

The Junior's not as wide and the tips angle in at the end a little bit. Its slight, but enough to irritate the hell out of me.

The double Rhoads is just a wee bit longer in the wings/horns.

Yeah pretty much that one indeed.

Yeah cant stand the Jr V shape, same as the ESP Vs (not speed v) i hate the shape of those, the body seems oversized compared to the neck/headstock or something. They are just awful.

The ESP V seems like it's somewheres between a King V and a Double rhoads.

Ah, I knew something was off when I went back and compared the two.

You are on to something with the ESP V.

The VMNT Deans got the V shape right tho, i like those.

I can talk shit about Dean and Dave all I want... but yeah, the VMNT and Zero are cool as shit.
