I am in :wub: (Bernie Rico Jr content)

I GAS for almost anything (RG550 and Caparison Horus are my currents) but I was looking around the threads today and saw this expired auction, and I was so bowled over I had to make a thread for it....

Its a Bernie Rico Jr Custom 627 Jekyll, and I have decided that if I ever decide to sell my organs to buy a guitar, this would be the one. I would need to do this as this went for $3,295.00 US. The only way I could get this is to sell every other guitar I own, move house to a cheaper area and not go out for 6 months.

I have included some pics for others to over and to help share my pain...

not really a fan of the headstock, but that's way cool anyway.

that sure is pretty nice

one of my favorite looking rico's. i think it would look sweet with a flamed top or something, but that smooth minimalist look is pretty attractive imo.

Yeah 3K is pretty damn ridiculous... I would be curious to see what the quote would be straight from Bernie... but still, it is a high quality custom and I guess Jackson, ESP etc would charge more. I am not sure of KXKs pricing tho...

I kinda prefer the straight-ahead minimalist look (the fact I own a ridiculous-looking Yamaha does not count...)

There's a 7-strings version of this about to come out.

Oh man I'm in love. I would go for some slightly different specs though. And I'm suprised right now at how much I like that headstock.

The volume knob sucks. Easily fixed.
