Another great video. When I opened My guitar shop, I approached the UK distributor for BC Rich at the time and asked for a dealership. I wanted to stock the higher end stuff, but all they could supply was £200 warlocks. The company had tons of the cheap stuff made and hardly any of the good stuff. So when the very few better guitars sold, there was no more lined up.
I had customers waiting with cash and they just couldn't supply the gear.
They won't get it right until they can make more than 35 guitars in 2 years.
🤣🤣🤣
Enjoyed the vid. It's still an amazing looking guitar. I remember when Paul Stanley played a red Ironbird in '85.
Floyed 1000 has the exact same specs and parts just made in Indonesia. I have them in all my Jackson’s and they all stay in tune and never had a issue.
Solid Review! I have an IB Extreme that’s pretty similar. Really dig it. Really hope BCR continues to progress. Looking forward to more on your channel as well 🤘🏼
Thanks for the review. Exactly what I was looking for
Daaamnn! That opening riff had some king diamond feeel goin on!👹👹☠️👍👍👍👽
Man what a video. This is how you present a new product. Great job man.
🤘🏻😎
I feel the same way about the new ST Warlock. Finish seems a little better than this and fret work is very good and playability is awesome. The satin neck is awesome! Great video!!🤘🤘
The Warlock definitely needs the widow headstock back, if they brought it again, I’d absolutely by one. They are definitely making great products now with quality materials, and it looks like the company is under someone who actually cares and wants to bring the glory of this legendary band back.
First video of yours I've seen- instant sub, this is fantastic content. Cheers brother
Thanks🤘🏻😎
I had to eventually cancel my order after waiting a year. That was a year ago, nice to see someone got one eventually
Always loved bc rich. It’s 80s hair metal all the way. Best era of music ever.
🤘🏻
Excellent review! I think bc rich knocked it out of the park with this guitar. And i love the old nj series all of the way to the custom shop bc riches.
great review. a definite step up is the new Legacy MK1. classic diamond inlays, top-hat knob, harpoon headstock, and your choice of Kahler or Floyd.. basically a 40 year anniversary reissue of the MK1. a sweet axe for sure.
I have the Prophecy Bird in Orange and I love it. I usually practice with it due to the body shape accomodating different playing positions so easily with the input jack where it is. It feels great! But youre right about the paint. I have the same mark on the end of the long top fin. Theres also a little blob of a run on the top point closest to the neck, on the rear of the guitar. But with the scarcity of this guitar in every color, I dont care about the paint.
great review just subbed 👍 .
🤘🏻😎
Great video man😀new subscriber here😁
Where did you find the BC Rich tophat knobs? Can't seem to find them anywhere.
I'll take a neck-through Warlock with a single humbucker (DiMarzio SD) and reversed harpoon headstock. Hardtail bridge, diamond inlays, graphtech nut, rosewood fretboard.
Killer tone and awesome shredding!
Do you find the volume pot location to be good or bad? Could be a little too close to the hand.
Ive noticed alot of guitarists have been playing the ironbird . Ive mever owned a bc rich guitar. But ive always wanted a bc rich chuck schuldiner stealth. The ironbird looks badass.
Also i agree with indonesia made. I own 2 the one i paid 560$ for and the neck kept warping and after moving around the truss rod the screw got stripped and now i gotta pay to get it fixed. My other one i paid 1700 for and so far so good. So yeah mixed bag you never know. I think south korea makes the best guitars
I own 4 and they are all flawless.
Mixed bag for sure. I don't think country of origin makes much difference (Chinese guitars like Eastman are great) but most of the Indos I've owned have been very underwhelming. Worst was a totally botched LTD evertune. Unbelievably bad.
I remember when those were first released they were under $1,000 bow they are more and never in stock. I want one so bad but like others have said they can't keep up with demand and that's bad for the brand. Hopefully there is a hard tail with a single hum in the prophecy line at some point.
Looks sick, but for 1200 the inlays seem really lacking, some big Diamonds would fit alot better on a mid range Neckthru guitar like that.
How is the balance... does it nose drive, when standing with a strap
Great vid! Awesome guitar, too bad there's practically no way to buy one in Europe.
The only thing I'd change is I'd rather have a Kahler or Sophia trem, or just a TOM bridge. I love the Super Distortion. My favorite pickup of all time.
that paint job looks super super thin, couple that with paint always been thin on edges and its very easy for someone to sand thru it
Does it balance well standing up?
fuck had the chance to buy this passed it up and i totally regret it
I think they buffed through the paint on the corners...
That looks much higher quality than I expected as a 20+ year bc rich import owner /fan 👏 not quite ltd level qc but better than a lot of the newer import jacksons
Can I play pop music on this BC Rich? Like 80s style pop.... Oe am I just f**kin' dreamin'...???? 🤪
what`s that silver superstrat on the background?

Does the weight feel right to you? I've one of bc riches deluxe Jr vs and it feels kinda light/cheap. Cheers
Felt fine to me, it's not heavy but I wouldn't really want a guitar this size to be too heavy
@@theguntercollection9990 Thank you!!!
I have a bc rich extreme series iron bird. Looks and sounds great. However the ergonomics not so much. Neck dive is a huge problem. To combat this I use a very wide leather strap and a carabiner clip to my belt. Mostly resolves the problem. The other thing is, and its just a feel thing, I find the top of the body a bit close to the low E. Since i like to keep my forearm and picking hand in line while playing I find it extremely uncomfortable with the ironbird as I cant do this with this shape. My hand is almost at right angles to my forearm.
I have an Ironbird Extreme as well. Using a belt clip is a great idea. Neck dive is not nearly as bad as my SG though.
How do you fix the clip to the strap? I'm thinking of doing something similar.
@@SergeantMahoff i just punched a hole at the appropriate position on the strap then passed the carabiner hook through the hole and attached to a loop on my trousers. Works well
@@awjbutt9418 Thanks! I might try that.
@@SergeantMahoff hopefully it works for you too
Bc rich needs to make some Vs. no abalone. All black, widow headstock, hardtail. I personally wouldnt care about paint imperfections. Im more concerned with the frets being level and low action.
Say what you will about the bronze series. For most of us, its the only B.C. Rich most of us will ever be able to afford. Great mod platforms as well.
don´t love the design, but honestly looked and sounded cool asf when you started playing it
They are the greatest metal guitar makersever
They need to go back to using their diamond inlays.
Everything is too expensive. Whatever happened to the Bronze and Platinum series?
24.75 neck or 25.5?
Action low? ¿?
If I weren't a broke-ass college student, I'd buy it on the spot!!!
Riff at 6:50? Can't think of it and know I've heard it
Creeping Death
@@theguntercollection9990 thank you! Lol I knew I've heard it a million times. Beautiful collection of gear man. Rock on
The Floyd is level. The base plate is what you should be looking at. Anything else, you are doing it wrong. Also the 1000 series are the exact same materials just made in Korea.
Where exactly did you buy this from?
BC Rich website
@@theguntercollection9990 crazy, I didn’t know they actually ever took orders there lol. They’re such sick looking guitars, it’s a shame they can’t get it together.
Ah man, if it had a reverse headstock it be perfect.
Is there a reverse headstock version of this guitar?
I don't think so
Bc rich blocked me on because I was shittin on them about getting guitars out
😂🤘🏻
Thank god, a guitar they didn't put abelone on!
B.C. Rich have been trash ever since the Rico family gave up ownership. I've played a few of the "post-Rico Family" models and they are horrendous (I'm being nice). Sad because I WAS...WAS a HUGE BCR fan.
For a £1000 there should not be any issue in any guitar.Exept Gibson.They don't tune unless they cost £3000.

You need more Marshalls.
Does not look as pointy and straight than the original one that I had
Hence the MKII import designation. The MKI is the straightest and pointiest of the Ironbirds
This is not worth 1200 by today standards.
bc rich is dead
Need a new BEAST
ONLY B.C. RICH!
