NGD: Bernie Rico Jr Vixen 7-String III: Gun Metal Gray (Photos Galore!)

[zimbloth]

It's been a tough few months waiting for this, but as always it was worth it in the end. Behold!

BTW, you'll notice there are no strap buttons. That was my request since I'd be putting in my own DiMarzio ClipLocks. Also, a BKP is going in here but I just told BRJ in the beginning that I would install it myself

omg.

Man ,What a beauty!!!
I am stunned , and that's not easy to achieve. Bernie knows how to finish a guitar ,and his solid finishes are the best I ever see. The gunmetal Grey kicks anything gray on the planet ,and it's you most beautiful guitar now! Awesome man ,hope you enjoy playing it as much as looking at it.

The Vol pot is amazing BTW ,it's fitting perfect ,and looks very modern.

Cheers man !. Please tell Bernie my appreciation and amazement of his work when you talk to him.

Very cool Nick!! I love that color, it looks amazing with the ebony board and whats the deal, no BKP?

 

[Lakeflower]

Happy new guitar day!

 

[HighGain510]

The gunmetal looks great man, killer finish!

 

[EliNoPants]

pointy V's are usually not my bag, but that is pure sex, and gray finishes are usually kinda dull, but that one is so nice it sorta looks like he got the T-1000 to hang out on the body instead of using paint

 

[zimbloth]

I see a lot of comments asking "why no BKP?". You guys know how I roll! I just decided I would install the BKP myself so I could get a free Duncan out of it

and what BKP are you going with this time??

 

[jsousa]

after chatting on the phone and fully absorbing the beauty in this thread ive come to the conclusion, like you assessed yourself, its fitting of a mercedes benz. FLAWLESS finish, and absolutely awesome guitar.

people....order Bernie Rico Jr guitars!

Absolutely. Luckily with Bernie the wait isn't too bad, just a few months, but it could have been a few weeks and it wouldn't have been easy on me

I'm going with the Holydiver in this one. However I may ultimately put a Painkiller in it depending on a few factors.

You need more V's.

Just kidding - looks top notch

Haha, yeah I actually think I am done w/ the Vixen for the time being. My next one will be a Jekyll or something else.
