My Rico Jr Jekyll 7 Custom

[kmanick]

Nice burst!
looks killer!
What color hardware are you going with?

 

[mikernaut]

ah cool!. The Rico's are slowly starting to trickle out for all of us who have one ordered. We are going to have quite the group of SS.org Rico owners around here now

 

[Hollowway]

Nice! That looks like the 828 on the web site. I wanted a burst on mine but just couldn't rationalize the extra cost. Sweet looking axe!

 

[chaosmaker911]

Im getting black hardware.

the pickups will be BKP Nailbombs. They should sound sick through my Mark V half stack.

 

[kmanick]

Did you get this yet?

 

[Rhoadkiller]

he should get it soon if he hasn't gotten it i saw it when it was nearly done

 

[chaosmaker911]

Hey guys. I know its been a while, but its been worth the wait.

I got my Jekyll 727 a few weeks ago, and its absolutely incredible. the top is beautiful, the neck shreds quite well, the piezo sounds amazing in the floyd. The bareknuckle nailbombs sound perfectly heavy. Overall, im really really happy about this guitar.

what do you guys think?

my guitar is on his site: Jekyll 727 Piezo » Bernie Rico Jr. Online

Looks awesome man!

Feel free to make a whole "NGD" thread.

 

[kmanick]

that looks amazing!! Congrats!!!
more pics and a full review are in order.
still waiting for mine....................
***edit***
just checked it out on Bernies site
oiled neck too??? Nice!

 

[FLGearnut]

I fucking love that natural & black burst that Bernie does. Nice to see a Jekyll 7 coming off the line with some BKP's too. I cant wait to get mine, but I went with Painkillers instead.

 

[mikernaut]

so it pretty much took 1 year?

 

[aslsmm]

way nice man. what did this run you.

 

[chaosmaker911]

Yep it took just over 11 months... but honestly it was worth it. The guitar is everything i could want.

and the price was really really reasonable. Bernie worked with me and didnt charge for a lot of changes i wanted to make. Seriously a good deal.

 

[Hollowway]

so it pretty much took 1 year?

That's the current timeline for custom builds from Bernie. Probably due to the crap load of us that all ordered last fall/winter!

 

[DIOBOLIC5150]

That is so sexy! Grats man!

 

[yacker]

If it's even remotely possible, please do some recordings with the piezos.

 

[Fred the Shred]

Ah, she's gorgeous indeed, mate. Congratulations!

 

[ShadyDavey]

Sickness......lovely piece of work

 

[splinter8451]

Damn that's one of the coolest BR's I've seen.

 

[xxxyyy]

If it's even remotely possible, please do some recordings with the piezos.

May I suggest a full review?
Man... this guitar is just... unbelievable.
One small question: you said the neck "shreds quite well". Why not "extrmely well"? Is this the super shredder profile?


PS: noob question: what exactly is a "oiled neck"?
