looks like your gonna play some jazz on that
Wow! Nice man! I am getting anxious for mine! BTW that isn't a fake on E-Bay.. That is an earlier Vixen before modifications.. Personally I think it is pretty sweet.. I had an archtop Alias w/ the same headstock and logo.. Can't believe I sold it.. Again, congrats!
Thanks Rick & Sebastian

Well fair enough, but I think that one looks pretty terrible on so many levels, and I've never seen Bernie use a bridge like that or a non-matching headstock. Just screams fake to me, but I'll take your word for it.
congrats, nice fleet

Those guitars are perfect. I love your attitude towards tone knobs.
What scale lengths are they all? Your previous #3 thread said it's 25.5, and I vaguely remember #1 and #2 being 27". Am I correct or insane?

Probably insane, but aren't we all really?
They're all 25.5 actually. Bernie can do any scale though: 26, 26.5, 27, 27.5, 28, 28.5, whichever. I just really prefer 25.5
Unless I missed it in this thread, did you mention any of the specs like fretboard radius, fretwire size etc?
Just curious about all that.

He told me the radius and fretwire once but I don't remember. Honestly I just know i love his "shred" neck profile option. It's supremely ergonomic, fast, and slim. However it still has a little meat to it. I could ask him what the neck dimensions are, and of course he could do whatever anyone wanted.
I think the frets are 6100 or something.

Looks sleek, clean and sexy!

Stupid, apparently
looks really good. The Ebay looks odd, but I dont believe it to be a fake either. looks like it still has a lot of features senior used like that bridge. you can find that bridge as the default option on alot of BCR customs and most noteably on the chuck signature. Yours looks alot more refined and is more like a high end luxury car than american muscle.

i didnt think id like the gunmetal but it looks pretty slick.
id prefer that body shape without the spiky bits on the inside of the wings but im not a V guy really. Still looks great, very clean cut and like i say the finish is really nice.

Thanks Mike. Yours is comin' right up!
Possibly, fair enough

I went on the BRJ website, and it stated "all our guitars have a 25.5" scale." Seems kinda strange to me that he wouldn't advertise the fact that he was scale-flexible.

His website is being revamped and is very outdated, ignore it. He builds all kinds of scales. I know dudes who have his baritones as well as shorter scales like 25.0 and 24.75.
Bernie is not really a computer guy and had someone else make his original site for him, which really didn't do him any favors. It's been improved in recent months in terms of better photos here and there, but the raw content is still from 2001 and is going to be replaced.
