How's that Speedloader been to you? I've heard some good and bad things about it.

Eh, I guess it can work, but what is the point of having a headstock?

I cant say many bad things about it besides the whole tuning process (like you have to unhook the saddle, use an Allen key to loosen the screw holding the saddle, move it up or down, etc) for changing from note to note.

Its been real good to me, though. I tend to have a curse and I break strings every 3-4 weeks on any guitar I have, so it really helps me out some times.

Other than that, it stays in tune really well. And stuff.

Because guitars without headstocks look fucking ghey, and BC Rich's strongpoint (or one of them) is appearence.

Sounds like as much "trouble" as a normal Floyd Rose, except when it comes to string changes.
But that's a damn cool axe. I like the finish a lot.
Got any sound clips of you playing it? Especially on the bridge pickup.

The problem is I have a totally shit Samick practice amp :lol:

When I play it through a big Marshall or Fender tube amp it goes on fucking fire, amazing. The X2N has a really thick metal tone, and its lead sound goes right to the top of any EQ (and through the rest of your band members too).

I'll post some clips when I get to borrow my friends 100 Watt Fender Roc Pro (or whatever the fuck its called).

I could post some clips with my shit Samick amp, but you wouldnt notice the difference between that and a regular NJ BC Rich cause of the lack of serious tone from the amp.

Thats a nice looking B.C.Rich. I've played a few and at one time had an Iron Bird, but Jackson still gets my vote.

Just because I pop a string every 3-4 weeks doesnt make me nearly as bad as someone who resembles the human embodiment of annoyance

Fair enough. I may not suck but I respect your opinon.

Besides, your Rickenbacker is teh sex :|): How much did you buy it for anyway?
hippy wrote:if you break so many strings why the hell did you buy a guitar with a floyd? must be a pain in the ass rebalancing.
Actually I only usually break the A string every 3 weeks. Its not a pain in the ass at all, at least to me. It really stays in tune if any string happens to break, and it takes seconds to switch it. I rarely have to re-tune/balance the whole thing unless the bottom string breaks.

No, its cool. I just have a curse where my A string seems to pop all to frequently on any guitar I own. Never any other string it seems.

I'm not a sloppy player or anything at all, however I tend to pick really hard. Its never popped from the middle though, its always from the bridge end (as if that explains any more).

I tend to play more than 3 hours a day every day, though. Ack, whatever. I'm just glad that with this BC Rich people wont keep assuming from ignorance that BC Rich only make low end, tinny-tone guitars that are dirt cheap.

I emailed Graph Tech a few weeks back and asked if they would make String Saver Saddles for Floyd Roses. I got a reply back saying they were working on it and hope to have it out by Feb.

I thought so. I don't know if they'll be making ones for the speedloader bridge though. I'm just glad they finally got one for the normal Floyd. I have a set on my RR's bridge and I only broke 1 string in over 3-4 years, very useful upgrade in my opinion :tup:

Whatever, man. I'm considering purchasing a 2005 NJ series BC Rich sometime (they have regular Official Floyds), so this is useful info to me. I cant gripe about the Speedloader at all, anyway.
