Ever wish you could get in the Heavy Metal Wayback machine and travel back to the hey day of metal? Well now you can - almost... B.C. Rich is proud to introduce the Gunslinger Retro model with a Maple Neck, diecast tuners and a Floyd Rose Special Tremolo. Styled after some of the most popular B.C. Rich guitars from the mid to late 80s!

Bolt-on Construction

A number of B.C. Rich guitars use a classic Bolt-on construction. On these instruments a neck (typically maple) is bolted on with 4 screws to the body. This construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides the option to change the neck in the future.

Flat Top

Some of the B.C Rich shapes are offered with a flat top. The flat top styling gives a bold and pristine look to the edge of the instrument's shape. Usually when the flat top feature is used, B.C. Rich adds a stripe of single or multi-ply binding around the edge in a complementary color. The binding on a flat top finishes off the edge cleanly and gives a sleek and clean look to the instrument.

Thi is the single pickup 80's rocker that I have always wanted! The oiled, unfinished neck is probably one of the nicest necks I have ever played. I don't understand why more manufacturers don't use this method. The metallic orange color is absolutely amazing in person! When I got the guitar all I had to do was drop the action a couple of turns, and tune her up and she was ready to rock. I will eventually replace the stock him bucket with an actual seymour duncan, just because the stock pup is nothing special. Not bad, just average. All in all, I can't put her down. I haven't had this much fun with a single guitar in a long time. It makes me feel like Tracii Guns, or C.C. Deville! Thanks to B.C.Rich for re-releasing this guitar.
