Sorry, but it just looks dangerous here :

Tell that to Tom Petty

Not even close...

Man Paul, those geetars make me cringe just lookin' at 'em.

The second one looks like a murder weapon, and I don't mean it could kill one person. It looks like it could have been used on the battle field during the Braveheart era.

Let's not forget the vib arm on the Accent!!

I still have an '80s pointy BC Rich from my philistine early-teenage years...tried on and off to sell it for years, now it's in the attic gathering dust. Never managed to geld myself on it but I think if I have boys they'll be encouraged to jam out on a certain other brand of guitar

I have a neighbor and friend who is in his mid-seventies and has one of the largest and complete collections of...

B.C.Rich guitars on the West Coast.

Looking at him, you'd think he was a church organist...or at least a Gibson hollowbody collector, but nooooo...

Strange world, innit?

Haha.... They don't call 'em "axes" for nothing, LOL!

I've been playing guitars of that shape (650, 660/6, 660/12) for a few years, and am pleased to report no damage. I also play mine with a short enough strap that it would be very difficult to have a problem there. It is getting less likely by the day that I'll ever have a BC Rich Testicular Jabulator (tm).

A friend once used his guitar neck to relocate a rowdy (and very large) audience member from the stage and guide him back into the crowd. I'm ready with that trick if I need it.

WOW!!! Keith Richards is a friend of yours???

That's certainly sufficiently strange

Me 'n' Keef go back a bit, but it was the guy who taught it to Keef of whom I am thinking.

Do you know how much work Keith has to do to get his (remaining) teeth that color every day?

That's no big deal with the 600 series, but those guitars in the pictures are definitely dangerous to one's health and wellbeing. That whole pointy thing is soooooo eighties and passe, I think.

At least, IMO.

Those guitars should each come with a cup for the family jewels!
