Hey dudes

Just got some cellphone pictures from Bernie Rico Jr of my finished custom Jekyll 727. The finish looks ridiculous!!

It's all mahogany neck-thru with a big flame maple top. For pickups I went with a Bare Knuckle Aftermath bridge, Riff-Raff neck. *

Looks good, but I personally don't like how close together the pickups are.

I bet it'll sound awesometastic!

Looks very tasty dude! That blue looks :yum:
Any reason you went for the FR on this one?

Also, hope this isn't being too nosy, but in the terms of your endorsement are you still allowed to play the Daemoness/Blackmachine or are you exclusive to Rico now?
Cause I'd love to see more videos of you playing your Daemoness'! :yesway:
And this Rico too of course.

Thanks dude! Yeah it's always a trade-off when you go for more frets and don't extend the scale, but personally I think it looks great anyway :metal:

Cheers man!
The FR is for tuning stability, you just can't beat locking nuts for keeping a guitar in tune. It has a tremel-no in the back, so it'll be fixed 90% of the time.
Re the endorsement, yes, Bernie has been totally cool about that - it's a non-exclusive deal so I can play other guitars. Obviously, Rico guitars are incredible, so he's hardly going to have to twist my arm to get me to play them :lol:

 

[budda]

I just keep imagining how many times my pick may hit the neck pickup, she's still sexy!

 

[caughtinamosh]

I imagine that the "neck" pickup will quite a bit of "middle" pickup quack, which may be quite cool.

Anyway, the guitar's gorgeous, Nolly. :yum:

 

[kmanick]

Congrats!
it looks killer.
Nothing like a BRJ 7 string neck
you never "get it" until you play one

 

[Leon]

How much are you going to sell this one for?

:lol:

I keed, I keed. Not bad for an RG :yesway:

 

[Nolly]

Thanks dudes!
Leon, I had no idea I had a reputation as a gear-flipper?!

 

[Leon]

The jealous tend to talk a lot :lol:

 

[Seanbabs]

:holy: That looks fantastic! I am also curious on how that neck pickup will sound. Sorry Nolly, but I can't help but be very jealous :squint:

 

[Nolly]

Hah, damn, so that's why my ears have been prickling all day :lol:

 

[Soopahmahn]

Yep, should have started sometime last night around 12pm EST - 5am for you?

 

[Seanbabs]

Hah, damn, so that's why my ears have been prickling all day :lol:

:devil:

 

[eleven59]

Damn, dude, it's like...glows.

That's exactly the finish I'd have gone for if I'd have refinished my old Hellraiser.

 

[gtrhed cp]

DO WANT!!:drool:

 

[343]

pretty blue :agreed:

Very nice score man!

 

[F1Filter]

Well it's good to see I'm not the only one here with a blue 7-string superstrat.

Nice score!
