The BRJ Black Friday Thread (Only for updates for/by customers.)[Ad Free]

[Khoi]

how come some people get answers and some don't? i've emailed so many times for updates.

I think he's prioritizing people who have their guitars closer to completion

 

[Hollowway]

and unless he has white Painkillers he can't pull a mysterious Pup swap either

Actually, that's a good point. I think I'm going to ask him to put the Aftermaths that were supposed to be in my custom into my BFR, rather than wait for the rebuild. That way I won't have two BRJs with PKs.

Waiting on casses now... Bernie is alive over there, if anyone is curious.

I was just coming in this thread to ask if anyone has actually gotten hold of him in the last few weeks. I texted him a few days ago and received no response. Shit, he may have changed his phone number for all I know. He used to respond to me fairly quickly but I have gotten no response to my last couple attempts.

 

[JPMike]

I am just trying to get a hold of him so I know what's up with my builds, I am SO thinking of selling my builds...

Edit: I have paid Bernie so far 10,5k USD. Good job.

 

[BIG ND SWEATY]

^ holy fuck man

 

[JPMike]

^ holy fuck man

I sold freaking 3 guitars.

 

[spawnsc]

I wonder how many builds his working on all together...

 

[mikernaut]

thoughts on this ordeal-

rewind to the beginning of the thread-

now, present day-

 

[Locrian]

Can't get a hold of him either.

Chris G said it was around 200.

 

[WickedSymphony]

Chris G said it was around 200.

Side note to this: out of these 200 or so builds Chris said they have in total, back when I emailed him he said about 60 of them were in assembly. Just thought I'd add that in case anyone was wondering.

I have offered to assemble and set-up the guitar myself. Just send me the parts.

No answer, of course

Yeah, when I gave him that option he just flipped the fuck out entirely.

10.5 k? God damn, man. God. Damn.

And who really knows what "in assembly" means. Perhaps Chris' math skills are simply as bad as his grammar...

 

[JPMike]

10.5 k? God damn, man. God. Damn.

No one was there to show me the way. I wish I knew...

 

[Qweklain]

No one was there to show me the way. I wish I knew...

I feel for you...

 

[SpaceDock]

I think Bernie needs to call in some favors and get some other famous luthiers to help him bang these out. Not only would it be great for him and us, but it would be a great photo op as well.

 

[elq]

I can see it now...

 

[SpaceDock]

^ that was brutal

 

[JPMike]

Fuck, I have major PRS GAS atm, I would easily snag some Private stock stuff. God damn...

 

[HRC51]

I can see it now...

Interesting. I was wondering when we would see this:

"Bernie Rico Jr files for bankruptcy"

I wish the man no ill will. I just want my money or my guitar. Simple.
