Pardon my french
The thing is, the only mainstream artists who played BC Rich played for an audience who doesn't care about guitars (ie, Jennifer Batten with MJ). The rest are people with very little market appeal. The 80es powerhouses were grabbed by other bands.
The only dude I associate 100% with BC Rich is Blackie, and he's so under the radar nobody talked about him taking the company on a metal forum. And most people likely just remember Chris Holmes better because of his swimming pool "vodka" antics anyway.

Time to start baseless rumors; Barry, Jo and Gavin from Bolt Thrower pooled their money together.

The only BC Riches I've played that weren't of 80s/90s vintage had necks that could've been repurposed for use as support beams for a house.

Wow, who thought we'd see Drakkar getting nostalgic in his autumn years?!
I doubt Mustaine owning BC Rich and having to deal with Kerry King would go well.

You mean his WWF style vodka antics. Piece of shit dude he is.
Lita Ford says it ruined his career, and to that, given that it was pretty WWF at best and a blight on Hair Metal, I say good.
I remember how great W.A.S.P. was when Chris got sacked and Bob Kulick stepped in as lead guitarist on The Crimson Idol. Not the first time Bob filled in for an alcoholic drug addict who'd rather get loaded than play on an album.
I remember your rig pics! They looked like works of art; I even saved one off as inspiration way back when! It was one with the two marshall cabs, dracos, and a big ass sword. Looked awesome.
Ah yes...the good old kvlt edgelord rig. Wish I had kept one of the Dracos. Ah well

The Draco is the worst guitar ever!! And i want one... The black one, just cause i hate myself.
I did try to copy bits once. Most notable was the glass jars with the pebbles. Holy feck that was a pain in the dick at the gig! Set up my gear, added some accoutrements like the white LED lights to the cabs to spell out a stage moniker. One side died so only the other was lit up so it spelled out CK instead of SICK. People thought it was an underwear advert.
The little glow bulbs I put into the cheap glass caraffes looked cool with the black stones and the white light shining through evily. Of course I move a lot around the stage. One fell off mid-set and broke leading to glass shards and fecking rocks all over the place, the other survived but I couldn't pick the smegging thing up for a good ten minutes after the set as it was hotter than the jire of a hundred radioactive suns and felt weirdly soft... which it was... and I couldn't get my lamp light back out without breaking it too in the end. And the guy sweeping the stage after me was SO mad!
All in all, looked cool but total failure!
Barry, Jo and Gavin from Bolt Thrower pooled their money together.
82 quid.
A custom shop Draco would be cute..if I had the money to waste on a guitar I'm not likely to play.
Then again if I could get a V shaped neck on a Draco I'd probably play it more..hmm
Have you tried ordering from BC Rich custom shop? I have via several dealers. Some came back stating it couldn't be ordered, others came back stating there was no response, one even went as best endeavours as they could (literally there was 2 weeks of back and forth) until he finally came to the conclusion that he wasn't actually even positive that the custom shop existed. This came from their rep.
I gave up and went ESP. Still waiting, but I'll be happy with it when it shows up.

The Custom Shop is direct only now, cutting out dealers has dropped the prices massively. I got a quote for a mockingbird a few years ago for 11k!! Nothing overly special about it they just clearly didn't want to build for customers. Contact Ron through here and he can get back to you with a quote pretty quickly www.facebook.com/OfficialBCRichCustomShop/
I tried some time ago and got a whole list of things they wouldn't do...and they tried to force me into a basic model that was practically what you'd find in stores....for like 10k
There was a time they wouldn't do baritones, wouldn't do custom shapes, wouldn't do 7 strings, wouldn't do shape alterations..they wouldn't do pretty much anything that wasn't a standard guitar in a different color and they charged you a fuckton for it.
Hope the new guy makes the original gunmetal grey Kerry King Speed V with reversed headstock, the Chuck stealth and an Ignitor.
It's like the 3 guitars i will never have.

BC Rich posted a Ironbird on their Instagram, but I don't know how to post a link to Instagram...
