Erik Rutan signature Iron Bird 7 announced

[Crash Dandicoot]

About time, I say. I wish it had his USA's alternating inlay, but this is still cool. Not sure how I feel about current BC Rich but this is a long overdue endorsement, imo. It looks like it's a red sparkle or flake of some sort, which is killer. I love pearl/holoflake/sparkle/twinkle/any flashy term you like finishes.

 

[Dumple Stilzkin]

Very over due, he’s played BC Rich for a long time now. He seems like a great guy when he’s interviewed. Pretty sure it’s just a blood red non metallic no sparkles. This is a cool guitar. I won’t be buying one, but everyone else should.

 

[shupe13]

Super sexy.

I wish it was within my price range.

 

[oracles]

Absolutely buying one of these. This ticks all my boxes as an Ironbird guy, and a huge Rutan fan.

Was the price announced?

 

[cardinal]

I'm not metal enough to be worthy of that guitar. Love it.

 

[Amer Alameddine]

What a cool looking guitar, I don't know if it's just me but it looks there's a slight sparkle in the finish, and I really like it!

 

[IbanezDaemon]

A truly killer metal axe. Well deserved...Erik is a beast!!

 

[Perge]

Been salivating for a 7 ironbird after rutan put out that CC playthrough. Hope the rumored import model materializes and still checks all the boxes.

 

[Scordare]

Badass!

 

[Mathemagician]

Fuck. They called me out. Fuck that looks good. And look at that glorious neck heel.

I’m annoyed by that jack position. But if the price is right…..

What else can I complain about? Nothing really as it’s a sig.

What's a better spot for the jack? Under the top horn?

 

[Mathemagician]

Yeah the upper horn like a Flying V, just from the perspective of playing classical position.

 

[shupe13]

Was the price announced?

No. Not that I'm aware of. Another forum or group was speculating upward of 7k. I'm import poor lol.

 

[aesthyrian]

Hey that's cool, Erik definitely deserves it!

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Was the price announced?

No but the price is for sure gonna be above $3k. Probably ~$4 - 6k.

This is awesome, over due and deserved... but I'll be that guy. It looks like every angle here is wrong. The bridge and PUPs look slammed with the Floyd level. Did they just wreck the neck angle?

Because people buy Ironbirds to play in the classical position. Riiiiiight.
That said, most flying Vs have the jack on the top of the guitar anyway. Perhaps you're thinking of RRs ?

Maybe for the USA version. I'm betting a korean version will be 2k or so, to keep it in line with the other korean stuff. Or maybe they'll get it lower with the indo factories

I think they switched all production to Indo so I imagine the Indo version will be in line with the more expensive Imports ~$1600. But the USA you're looking at 4k+
