Reviving The RAREST BC Rich - BC Rich NJ Zombie

[@BaenaCarcosa]

It looks like it says hell yeah brother

[@EricMorettin]

@@BaenaCarcosa Sometimes this guitar sings Rob Zombie lyrics

[@dragonstorm8171]

BC Rich always had a way of making violent, yet elegant guitars. I've got a NJ series Mockingbird ST with floyd in a dark blue quilt top. It looks just as amazing as it plays, love that thing lol

[@EricMorettin]

@@dragonstorm8171 agreed! Love the mockingbird shape too for how classy yet tough it looked depending on specs. Love these guitars

[@LoudonMetal]

KILLER AXE Eric !!! Those D pickups have KILLER Metal tone !! Great playing !! I have 21 axes now from Jacksons, Washburn,,Ibanezs to Epiphones,Jackson V's as well as Epiphone EXPLORER. I wanted to also say I bought a BC RICH"Ironbird" NJ series from my guitar buddy a few months ago with original BC Rich pickups solid white neck through. Of course not nearly as rare as yours but I do LOVE the IRONBIRD body !! He didn't love the neck radius but I LOVE it !!And it's like butter in my left hand on the neck after set up low action !!!! It is killer for Metal and of course if I modded my pickups to EMG passives or Seymour Duncan I would have a super Metal axe. Eric with all my amps, effect pedals n distortion pedals the original stock pickups really sound really good for Metal...As you know Kerry King founder and guitarist for Slayer had BC Rich's for years,, I LOVE player Slayer on my BC Rich !!!! I have seen you a few times on my you tube feed so I subbed this time with you... Good luck with your new recording endeavors and that is a BEAUTIFUL AWESOME RARE axe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💯💥🤘🤘💥💯

Oh man. I am so glad to have found your channel. I can also call an NJ NT Zombie my own. Mine is transparent black.

[@EricMorettin]

Thanks for watching! I'd love to see your zombie!

[@JoshAllen17Goated]

The NJ series were the top of the line before the USA made BC Riches. Love my NJ Warlock, its a heavy and gigantic beast. But man its always reliable, in tune, and plays like butter. Gorgeous guitar man!

[@EricMorettin]

@@JoshAllen17Goated yes the NJ Neck Through was the highest end import they offered back in the day. Great guitars as you know!

[@JoshAllen17Goated]

@ Yessir, the best of the best in my opinion! I would love to get an NJ neck thru some day, even a USA made one.

[@EricMorettin]

@JoshAllen17Goated I'd love to try a USA BCR one day! All of the NJ NT models I've played have been stellar

[@pauln6803]

B.C. Rich have varied in quality and feel a lot over the years, depending on who owned the brand, which series it was and which factory was used. B.C. Rich has long been a brand, a label slapped on a shape, owned by a succession of investors. The USA custom shop stood for a long time, but even that disappeared a while ago.

[@EricMorettin]

@pauln6803 It seems like USA BC Rich guitars are being built by Neal Moser and Moser guitars. I've also heard that five finger death Punch owns BC Rich now

[@W.K.Hatecraft]

I had a NJ JR V of the same era. Same finish too. Beautiful red quilt on it. I put EMGs in mine. You made me miss it!

[@EricMorettin]

@@W.K.Hatecraft sounds like it was a beautiful guitar! Hopefully you can get another one

[@MT_800]

I'll always hold a special place in my heart for BC Rich guitars, since it was Mick Thomson playing his old custom Warlocks that got me into playing guitar in my teens. My favourite is his transparent black one with flame maple. Great video as always Eric, I especially appreciate the neck profile details. 🤘

[@EricMorettin]

@@MT_800 I'm with you on Mick and BC Rich back in the day as well. Loved his warlocks and I believe he also had a V. Much appreciated!

[@thorstenthorben196]

The BcRich Ignitor or Demon shapes might want to answer back

[@EricMorettin]

Ahh yes some other rare BC Rich guitars as well!

[@BlackRosaryOfficial]

What a stunning example. Do you collect B.C. Rich or is this a new thing for you?

[@EricMorettin]

@@BlackRosaryOfficial thanks! I don't collect them but I love em. This is the only BCR I own

[@BlackRosaryOfficial]

@EricMorettin that's a great looking guitar. We started making videos like this so of course when I saw the thumbnail I thought it might be a good watch for some research

[@cipherone8190]

Hey Eric great vid man that bc rich is killer btw how low in numbers do you think you got the action on that guitar again great vid bro.

[@EricMorettin]

@@cipherone8190 thanks! I don't measure the action as I just get it by feel

[@FuzzImp]

Yeah that’s a beaut. There’s a certain appreciation I have for BCR now that I didn’t when I was younger. This is a cool example! 🎉

[@EricMorettin]

@@FuzzImp I've ebbed and flowed with the brand but I've always came back to this shape for how unique it was by comparison to the other models in the catalog. Hope you can get a BCR into the collection!

[@jww732]

Tone is amazing! Loved the death riffs. That X2N pickup is no joke!

[@EricMorettin]

@@jww732 thanks! Yup it's a great pickup with loads of output

[@CrossGuardMania]

damn that guitar looks evil af 🤘

[@EricMorettin]

@@CrossGuardMania evil riffs only!

[@Martinroot]

Got an NT series Zombie... Fucking brutal guitar Switched the pickups to Dimarzios - DeActivator in the bridge and SupDis in the neck. Balance on it is shit but it just sound so awesome. Even in really low tunings like G# with 14-68 it still intonates.... Love yours in that red color... Wish mine was in that color dude... 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@EricMorettin]

@@Martinroot nice I love to hear that! I had mine in B with 13-62s on it forever and never had an intonation issue. Definitely need to upgrade the stock pickups on these guitars tho. Cheers!

[@Martinroot]

​@@EricMorettin Dadderios? 😋😋😋 Yeah, but when the pups has been changed from the stock you get a really awesome death metal machine... 🤘🤘🤘 The frets it came with as you sayed it your self, medium frets, so i had my local shop install 6100 frets. I'm telling ya, shred heaven😍😍😍 Kind of funny that yours has a licent Floyd but mine has a 1000 series Floyd on it... Mine is just black.. Really dig the red on yours dude... Cheers from Denmark🤘🤘🤘

[@EricMorettin]

@@Martinroot you know it! Nice, I'd love to try 6100s on a guitar. Interesting yours has a branded Floyd bridge! Maybe it was changed? Would love to see it. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@TerranMacKay]

damn thats wild dude, never seen one in my life

[@EricMorettin]

@@TerranMacKay dude right?! Legit the only one I've seen in person

[@ianstrickland5280]

i have probably the rarest bc rich bass ever made. 1988 USA Demon. only 3 exist, search it up, the one that comes up is the one i own. made for Phil Soussan, the recording bassist on ozzys "The ultimate sin" album. mine is the one with 2 skeletons above the bridge

[@sinistrousdiabolus]

I gotta say the clickbait title got me.

[@EricMorettin]

Crazy! Would love to see this

@@Jermthemusician yes and I'm not sure what his tag is.

[@TheCyberMantis]

I have a 1986 NJ series Ironbird. Kahler Flyer bridge. Seymour Duncan humbuckers. I am the original owner.

[@Manik530]

Iron bird is the only body style I’d pay for.. the mockingbird is pretty cool as well but in general the b c rich vibe isn’t my vibe.. I know my opinion isn’t the only opinion that matters and I respect anyone who enjoys pointy over the top shapes!

[@EricMorettin]

@@TheCyberMantis wicked guitar!

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@Manik530 Everyone should have at least one pointy guitar in their collection. For those times when you want to play some "Bark at the Moon" riffs. 😁

When you play it siting(in any way) that lower horn pokes you in the leg like a motherfu©ker.. don't ask me how I know.. 😐😁

Yeah it can be a little painful to play this in certain ways haha

[@wallyedmonds8199]

It’s rare cuz nobody bought it .

[@EricMorettin]

@@wallyedmonds8199 Wait so how do other zombie owners and I have them? 🧐

[@wallyedmonds8199]

@@EricMorettin cuz you bought one and some people did too but numbers low so they stopped making it , there are independent guitar manufacturers that make this design different headstock as an option to purchase, personally I think it’s a pretty cool guitar 😃
