This pic is from 5 years ago, probably.
From left to right: BC Rich Platinum Beast, BC Rich Rave Warlock (sold many years ago), BC Rich NJ ST-III, Ibanez AX7221 7-string (sold a few years ago).
I'll never let go of the Beast and the ST-III. I love those guitars... they play so well and they have such distinct tones. I sold the ST-III to a friend a few years ago, but of course I regretted it and ended up getting it back. Never again.
And here is my current restoration project - NJ Series Ironbird. This is when I first brought it home from a pawn shop. Someone painted a hideous spraypaint camo on it, then covered it with tons of clear coat. It was painted right on top of the factory paint. The intonation was way out, the electronics were heavily screwed with. I bought it as a project anyway, so I'm doing a complete teardown and rebuild.
Here it is when I first brought it home:
Here it is right now. I have tons of other pics of the teardown and sanding process:
I've already got a color scheme picked for it and everything. I still haven't decided on pickups yet. Evidently one of the hums is a Dimarzio, and the other one is stock. So someone down the line replaced it, obviously. Too bad all of the other wiring was completely jacked (pun intended).
