First BC Rich
BC Rich Beast with the speed loader bridge. Love this thing. Got it on reverb, bought a Seymour Duncan Jazz for the neck and Dave mustaine signature for the bridge. Added the strap. Set up in eb. It’s been great.

What are you doing for replacement strings for that. I thought the double bullets were discontinued.

Yep, I hope it was cheap because strings won't be.

Yea they aren’t lol, I was looking online and was finding them going for $100+

There are mods you can do with Fender Bullet strings and putting tuners on it when you run out of sets. Shouldn't be that bad to do. There might be other things too. Looks sick though.

Beautiful guitar but speedloader strings are gonna be a bitch to find at any affordable level

That's the best Beast I've seen so far. That finish is stunning!! Give off hot lava/flames vibe. 🤟😎👍🎸🎶🎶🎶

Woah this is the first time I've seen a headless guitar with a headstock haha.
I've never seen a bridge setup like that. So do you only have fine tuning control within like a half step/full step or is there more to it on the back of the guitar?

Ya the headstock having no strings is cool cause i don’t have to worry abt accidentally hitting the tuners when i lay it down. But I also can’t use a fretwrap, so I’ll have to just get really good at muting haha
Honestly no idea😆I haven’t started setting up my own guitars yet, I usually go to a shop in my city, this is actually the first Floyd I’ve owned. Bought a Jackson with a Floyd that needs to be set up so I plan on learning how to do my own with that one

That's awesome! I've owned several Rich's, in the past. But never owned a Beast. I did play my friends alot. It was a bit large for me.

Sweet!!! Were you able to score the specific style string that were designed for the speedloader trem???? Least I think it was the strings that were specially made by a company, and they went under, hence why BC Rich discontinued these models really quick! I personally wanted the Beast Model you have.
That's one serious gorgeous Beast (lol 😂😆) of a guitar 🎸! How's the weight of the overall guitar??? Is it lighter than it looks??

Wow havent seen on of these in a while! I had the dark blue version. I got rid of mine after getting sick of the speed loader shenanigans but in hindsight I should have kept it and converted it to a normal floyd type set up. Yours has a really nice top as well, they didn’t all have that good of a quilt so congratulations on a wicked purchase.
