What glw said about the Hydra being derived from the letters WC may be possible, it certainly looks it. But I doubt it. One thing’s for sure, I definately want some of whatever this Jerry Sewell was on when he designed that thing! Dude must have been on some SERIOUS drugs LOL
Oh, and in response to the above remark about the hydra model, Wayne Guitars sells an identical guitar also called the Hydra and says that the guitar was designed by an employee of theirs and that EVH at one point used one. I never knew that BC Rich made an Explorer-shaped guitar, or a Les Paul-shaped guitar. They kind of seem out of place in the BC Rich line. But then again so do the Gunslinger and ST, lol. I do like the look of the Mockingbird, Ironbird, and Jr. V but other than that I don’t much care for BC Rich guitars. Though I have played a few and they were nice. My friend Jason owns an EBMM SUB1, an old 1980s NJ Series Warlock that he has upgraded with Gibson pickups, and a MIM Fender strat. I have another friend named Bobby who owns a brand new Kerry King NJ Signature Wartribe model and Jason’s old 80s Warlock is a MILLION times better than Bobby’s Wartribe. I haven’t played very many guitars that I can honestly say are pieces of crap that aren’t worth the wood they’re built with, but that Wartribe is one of them. It’s right down there with my friend Ron’s Silvertone strat knock-off that he got as part of a “beginner’s kit” (included practice amp, strap, and gig bag). He honestly would have burned that thing years ago if it weren’t for the fact that it was his first guitar and has sentimental value.
It probably is an ST. It looks EXACTLY like this one right here http://www.jcguitars.com/bcrdn1.jpg
, with the knobs and switches in the same exact place and everything. The only difference is that mine is an NJ Series model with black hardware and a Kahler floating trem, and is a sort of pearl white. Auction I bought ot from listed the color as being called Mother of Pearl. I do not have a webcam so I can’t take pics of the guitar myself, however I think I do have the pics from the ebay auction I bought it from saved on my hard drive. I THINK. Would they be of help? And if it is indeed an NJ Series ST, would anyone happen to know the specs on them? Such as what type of pickups they were made with, and what body wood was used? And if they were good guitars? As I said above It seems to play great, with low action and a fast neck that feels a lot like the EBMM SUB guitar my friend Jason owns, but the only amp I’ve played it through is a 15 watt practice amp that will make any guitar sound bad, so I have no clue what type of tones this thing can belt out.Well, this is not a “pointy” guitar. As i said it is a variation of the Gunslinger, which is a conventional strat-shaped guitar. The only differences between this and the Gunslinger (as far as the eye can see) is that the Gunslinger had a single humbucker in the bridge position, and this has a humbucker in the bridge and two single coils.
