Headache
Ambassador of all that is Heavy
I really need to stay off of Facebook Marketplace!
(I'm my defense, I sold a guitar while I was driving down there lol to my other guitarist's son. )
Saw this axe, contacted the guy... He wouldn't meet me half way so I baulked on it for a day.
He messaged me today saying he'd be home.... Arrrrgh ok I drove 2 hours south and picked it up.
It was way more chewed up than the pictures looked. The neck was straight, the frets good, most of the damage was on the sides and rear, no major cracks or anything..... I didn't even low-ball him, he looked rough and needed the money even more than this old scallywag!
Brought it home, gave it a bath. It's just to that starting to rust in a few spots age... The action was like 3/4 of an inch!
I took Lem-oil to the board, scrubbed it all over, cut the rusty strings off, cleaned and wiped it over and over. Screwed in some straploks, adjusted the neck... Dropped the bridge. New strings and tuned it up. Actually sounds huge! I've always wanted one if these, either in a bich, or in blue..... They are getting pretty scarce at least in this color.... This black one is still pretty wicked I think.
I give you The "ROAD HAG"
To be honest BC Rich makes the only stock pickups I like! Ever! I may not even change these out!
