What, it’s not a Les Paul R-whatever? 

I’ve wanted a Jackson Kelly since around 1990, due to Marty Friedman. Approved.

Has two strings too many.

Early 90s metal head learning the guitar, the BC Rich was the cool one to aim for if you were into heavy heavy stuff.
Just reminded me of this vid. In the 9 min mark or so, Max's BC Rich seems to have a different headstock than other's I've seen...

I love when folk take guitars that look like they're for 1 genre and use them for other, just like that blues player in the above pic.

Bloody loved that!

@Strangefan yep, that's 33 mins of brilliance.

Love it! HNGD.
The first guitars I lusted after were Blackie Lawless's Warlock and the white Jackson Rhodes that Chris Holmes used with the tiger paint job. I'm gonna crank Live...in the Raw in the car tomorrow!!

I used to have a white Warlock and it was all Max Cavalera's fault!

Not a guitar I would go for, but those original BC Rich are fantastic things. Always loved the one ( can't remember the model ) with loads of switching options. It looked like a lot of fun.

Mockingbird.

Just to show I’m not a hater, I like those . I just don’t like the Satan’s Can-opener shapes as Stonevibe so perfectly described them - although I could see that name being quite attractive to the people who like them .

By the way - if you didn’t know this, the ones with the angled cut directly behind the tailpiece like markblack’s are derived from the earlier 10-string and 12-string designs with the tuners for the extra strings there...

ten strings and more knobs than (insert a political party, football team, band here)


go big or go home.

That’s horrendous.






... how on earth did they get the bridge pickup as crooked as that?!

The Mockingbird was always the one which appealed to me the most, perhaps due to Rick Derringer playing one, and an old Guitar Player cover story with Craig Chaquico. 

And I have actually got a Mockingbird.  It looks like the USA models with the "R" logo, natural finish, neck-through with flame maple wings, lots of switches etc but apparently it's some kind of prototype model, made in Japan.

I like the other early models too - the Bich (10 string) and Eagle, not so much the Seagull.  Not so keen on the metal guitars but I think the Warlock's the best of them.

Looks great to me HNGD

Fantastic!!! I love it.

It appears to be very well preserved for its age. Most have chips off their pointy extremities.

I have two models with widow headstock - a Platinum Series with tremolo system (mint condition), and a Bronze Series hardtail (used, with a tiny chip on one headstock horn, otherwise very good condition) - both in metallic black.

PS: Be careful that you do not damage the paint and lower body pointy bits.

This is my mates left hander that he neglected! It was rough as when I got hold of it....the clay bar, polish and wax treatment later she came up a beaut. The guitar is a affectionately known as chlamydia and has been walled to the studio. I think it gets some sweet sounds, and totally agree that it's good for funk with your eyes shut.

Its not bad at all the points have a few tiny chips but over all its in nice condition, woth original gotoh machine heads and jap pickups, it really needs a deep clean tho but at thr lo I'm just enjoying playing it,
