Do any of you here own a Jr V 7 string? The purple one from about 10 years ago. That is my current GAS.

Dude I remember in high school being such a big Slipknot fan. I would look through whatever guitar catalog there was and wishing I had money to buy Mick’s Warlock model.

Yeah, I remember the cheap starter pack Mick Thomson models, the respectably decent mid range models and the expensive and rare US models.

The mid range ones aren't too hard to get but I really want a US model and they are rare as rocking horse shit.

I know they're not to everyone's taste, but like them or not, Mick's association with the brand must have been worth a good amount of money to the company in the early 00s. I know people who bought those signature guitars who would have never bought a BC Rich otherwise.

Mick was definitely a big BC Rich artist in the early 00s. No doubt about it. I just don’t care for his signature models. That’s fine though. I don’t care for Vai’s either, and Ibanez owes so much of their success to him, it’s not even funny.

And Joe Satriani!
I always found him more listenable at least.

I like the white Ironbird but I'm not going to like the price for sure. I think the Khaler one was advertised at 1899 and I don't think the white will be that much different :(

This is correct. That white one is a Prophecy 2 series, made in Indonesia. The Mk1, Extreme series, and Rutan import are all made in Korea, and accordingly more expensive

The Ironbird Prophecy MK II is sold out everywhere and there's none available even in the used market. I suppose this is quite exceptional as in the end it's an import production model. How many did they make of those after all?

I’ve only seen picture / video evidence of two of the orange ones. Very few of these have ever made it to customers from what I understand.

New birds were in stock for all of 10 hours. Woke up and they were all gone.
they've been restocked apparently. i have one in my cart but i'm very skeptical buying it will result in receiving one.\

jk - back out of stock as i refreshed the page.

maybe they will actually have more. who knows.

This is all on the bcrich.com site btw.
