A couple of new Bernie Rico Jr's

steelhorse · 09-24-2009, 12:12 AM

This is the USA Custom Deluxe Jekyll-627.

Completely hand crafted in USA
27 Frets over a 25.5" scale
Maple flame top with burst finish and natural reveal binding
Maple neck thru module with mahogany wings
Ebony fretboard
Abalone "B" head stock inlay
Original Floyd Rose
Grover 18:1 Tuners
Chrome EMG's

The second is truly unique.

This is the Jekyll Hybrid and #1 of only 2 in existence, #2 is being held for me for later acquisition.

Body and neck made in the top Korean shop and assembled with USA parts in the USA by Bernie Rico Jr.

Bernie actually does the frets, the fretboard and checks all of the routing and re-buffs the body before final set up.

Original Floyd Rose
Ebony fretboard
MOP Diamond Inlays
Maple neck thru module with mahogany wings
Grover 18:1 tuners.
EMG 81/85 w/EMG PA-2

Thanks again Charlie. Hopefully you'll join the ranks of Rico Jr. owners soon.

I have an Alias in the works. That one will be special imo, my take on a classic.

I have been looking at BR guitars the past couple months and they are truly amazing! Thinking about getting one myself............

Give Bernie a call. You'd be surprised by the prices and availability. He's always working on something to fit everyone's budget and the dealers are way out of whack but the best thing is to contact him directly.
