I'm ordering mine from a local guitar shop I like. It's nicer that way 'cause the price stays the same (as the list price o Eastwood), I bring a cool shop some business, and I get them to sign off on the guitar before they sell it to me. Set-up and everythin'.

One presumes you have played this guitar, and aren't just ordering it based on looks or anything like that.

Now for my 'off the beaten path' pet peeve: B.C. Rich guitars. The only way to get any use out of a B.C. Rich guitar, in my opinion, is to light it on fucking fire.

'Course I have, DK.

Imronburgundy? mentioned them before, but I think Italia Guitars deserve another plug.

JESUS CHRIST

I have decided, I WILL have this guitar before I die. If the Alaska oil dividend comes to me from me being there all summer, I know EXACTLY what I am going to blow that shit on.

Bonus points to Ballard and Imronburgundy.

It's actually only $1100. Not bad for a double-necked guitar.

Italia actually has very, very decent prices. Cheap, even ($400-$600 for a normal guitar).

Yeah, seriously. I mean, Gibson's got their doubleneck at like 3x that much, and it isn't even a semi-hollow, AND it's down by two frets. Fuck that, this is a way better deal and I AM going to get one if certain things work out.

Actually, I've always wanted a vintage BC Rich Eagle bass.  As for all the guitars that look more like neon-painted weapons than instruments, not so much...
