diablo175 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 What is it (other than stupidity or trying to fill some supposed emotional void with things) that compels me to buy guitars that I know will very likely be subpar to my Hamers and HELs? To wit: '18 Ibanez RG 550. 2010 ESP LTD GL200K Kamikaze and now a 2013 BC Rich Zolton Bathory ASM. 🙄  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Those BCs are killer-looking guitars. The Bathory model is sleek. Excellent lines on these guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent lines on these guitars. Couldn't agree more. And it's got some very respectable hardware and snazzy appointments- natural, maple cap over mahogany wings, 5 piece neck thru, a real deal OFR, Grover mini's, in this case, the Rockfields were replaced with Seymour Duncans. Not sure what models but it could be an improvement. Sheeooot- it comes stock with 24 jumbo frets, reversed heads stock and a f-ing toggle switch, no less!!! That LTD Lynch Kami I'm putzing around on at work could soon be replaced with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbaVO Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Only you can decide when enough is enough.  Enjoy it.   And I'll enjoy seeing you refinish it with green polka dots.  😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a prospective stage ax. Likely, just a soon-to-be-flipped item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcald Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Its only a problem if it interferes with normal functioning. Â Looks cool. Korean made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korean made with a US-sourced maple cap and hardware. Kinda amusing- American maple shipped to Korea for assembly then shipped back over to the US for sale.

Carl.B Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I am still waiting on you getting a Jazz box and putting FR in it and then doing one of your day glow paint jobs on it. Maybe going with a King Kong theme paint scheme for it. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it installed on an MIK Gretsch Electromatic hollowbody jazz box. Would that annoy the jazz snob?
