“.... bridge, because that’s all that matters ...” Love it.
5:21 Phil almost blinked out of existence
Brian Olmeda lmao 😂
i just love all those 80s era super strats. crazy colours, great sounds, good specs and just that vibe of the glam metal style.
Maybe because I’m 47 now, and I’m from the 80’s metal mold, but the DiMarzio Super Distortion is my favorite metal pickup.
I think it's one of the best aftermarket bridge pickups for rock period. It's been around 48 years now.
Congrats on this great find ! These old school super-strats def need more love ! They are truly underrated guitars in my opinion.
I am a U.S. Postal worker in New York State, thank you for the shout out!
Wow!! you have such a kind heart, I am not a postal worker but just hearing you thank them, you have won my heart. And also I appreciate your honesty in all your reviews it make a difference. You have have earned my subscription.
Phillip McKnight
Thank you for always making great videos and being a super humble person.
I hope to meet you one day, when the world goes somewhat back to normal.
Cheers from North Vancouver Canada
Love the cc deville referance as he had a lot of bc rich's in his collection.
If it wasn't for CC, I wouldn't have wanted to play guitar.
I got an Ibanez RG off reverb a few weeks ago, didnt realize til after I bought it seller had no feedback. So I watched the tracking and when it came the box was like a 4x3 box. I'm like theres no way. Figured he had to have taken it apart. But it was in there at an angle with a little brown paper and a Macys bag for packing. Somehow, not a single scratch on it.
5:21 confirmation Phil is a robot
I love 80’s guitars they were so good. I have 6 of various makes and models. To me the mojo is worth way more then the money I paid.
I love the absolute joy on your face and in your voice. As I child of the 80s I concur!
Top man Phil thanking the postal guys, one of the nicest guys doing guitar reviews on the tube, great review
That package might hold some sort of tape-usage record.
🤣🤣🤣
I’ve seen worse. Customs guys always have a field day seeing packages wrapped in rolls of tape like that for oblivious reasons.
This is the only video on RUclips on on this particular BC Rich model just great informational session my hat to you love to see a sustain brass block greater vibration
I totally approve of this purchase and color choice.
I truly adore BC Rich Guitars & yellow is my favorite color !!! Great find & buy !! Love the video & extremely jealous !!! Congrats !!!
Phil .. I love everything you do! All the way down here in New Zealand !!
Thank you, very kind
Those old Di Marzio super distortion pups are magic. I have one in my vintage parts caster ( just 1 vol control). Perfect for classic hard rock and Heavy Metal
Congrats on the new axe!! I love it!!
Congrats! Looks and sounds great!
I heard it was all your fault you enabler, you!
What a great guitar. I've recently gotten into collecting '84 - '85 Aria Pro II guitars and I'm having a blast.
That middle pickup chug makes my soul bounce
I picked up a Aria Pro Knight Warrior recently for the same reason. Nothing like owning a guitar you dreamed about in the 80s!
Wow that’s cool. I love all the 80’s hair band stuff. Back in the day the colors, high gain and high hair ruled!! 😎
great video! informational yet entertaining... keep it up!
So happy to see that Phil enRICHed his arsenal.
that thing sounds soo 80s, amazing!
5:21 Phil.exe has stopped working
Very cool! Have fun with it.
The USPS really is amazing. Awesome shoutout, Phil.
I love those old super strats from the 80’s...i always wanted a Dean baby Z shaped like an explorer...that tone you had there, Phil, was dead on 80’s...i freakin love that shit!!!!!
Newspaper is good for the environment, and works just as well as bubble wrap, and IT WORKED.
I had the neon green. Loved the unfinished neck. Mine had mini grovers when I got it. Miss that one. I remember I worked all summer to save up for it.
I would love to have one of these in neon green.
Phil I have still and love my BC Rich bass. It is the bass I hold as the model for sound for the custom basses I make for $$$ and it still is a favorite of mine and many of my clients.
Love that bridge pup!!!
I had an NJ series Eagle back in the 80s. I would love to find that guitar again. Can't believe I let it get away.
This is funny, I woke up and was lying in my bed wondering about which super strat I would want to own and I started thinking about options like LTDs, Jacksons and Ibanez. And I got some fond memories of weird guitars I've owned, like Bc Rich..
And the first thing I see when I start my computer is this video.
Congratz to a great guitar Phil!
My older cousin had one of those, but it had a pink snake skin finish. It was legendary
Great video, man. I have my eye on something similar. Definitely an 80's BC Rich superstrat, those guitars just have that je ne sais quois. I always thought the cool 80's players played BC Rich so I've been wanting one for a long time.
I picked up an arch top Mockingbird and absolutely love it! A/B it against a 90’s Gibson Les Paul the time was almost exact. I always loved the cool body shapes.
Not sure if it's just the guitar, but that thing has an awesome 80's sound!!
As a Canadian guitar owner...thanks for showing not only USPS photos...but Canada Post!
I bought one brand new when I was 17 years old. Gun metal grey with a reverse headstock. Sold it some years later for $200 in like new condition.
Dang that's a long wait. I got a bass on reverb from Canada a few weeks ago and I got it in 7 days. It was a far trip too.Thats a sick 80s axe. I shall grab my yellow jem777 in celebration for phil on a great 80s axe.
Love it. I want one!
Congrats. I want the 2 BC Riches that was on Full House TV show. The custom Gun Slinger blue one and the rare NJ Semi hollow not made anymore. Look so cool when John played them and faked played them
Glad I saw this! I was just gonna comment on Full House!!
@@gtrman12887 John said on the Gibson party video this year that BC Rich was not a real guitar company. He was just sucking up to Gibson. He gets free Gibson's lol. He really played bad so he said? He said he sucked. He fake played and really played some of the time. He is one of the reasons I noticed BC Rich guitars and 1 of my influences besides other guitar players as well.
When I was a kid yeah a gunslinger was a dream. Never did get one.
I have one of the acoustics like he played on the show... I love it.
@@remley8877 valid point. I am old enough(44) to remember those days. Now people try sell even the old shitty(and there is tons,) of gear by all brands for some ridiculous prices. The used market is saturated with some seriously overpriced crap. Like people, just cuz it's old, does not mean it's vintage, or valuable. Junk is junk.
Had one of these in pink and white with a sort of triangular graphic added to the mix. Dropped a Seymour Duncan into the bridge position. Great guitar. 100% 80's!
Poison riff=immediate thumbs up 👍🏼
I love this man he is so damn kind. Hey Phil how come I don’t see any content about Orange Amps? I love them!!
I like that floyd rose you got hanging up!
I had a black one just like that in ‘88. Cool vid! 🤘
I had a Washburn parlor guitar sent to me not too long ago, and it had the bubble wrap around the neck in the case. The bubble wrap was so tight in the case, that the neck cracked at the headstock. It was a small crack, but I had to send it back. I wish someone would watch a video on how to properly pack a guitar for shipping. This experience I had was from a dealer on Reverb. They didn’t have another guitar to send me, so I had to wait until I got my refund, and the reordered the same guitar from another dealer. The thing that sucked was the other one cost almost $300 more...but I loved the guitar so much, it was worth it to me. I still got it at a steal for what it is, and I still have that guitar today! I did a video on it....my Washburn Limited Edition Timeless Series Parlor guitar. 🐰❤️🎸🎶🤝✌️
DUDE, that is as cool as it gets!!! I have a PINK Warlock. I also have an older U-Series Mockingbird that is the nicest guitar I've ever played.
BC Rich guitars are awesome!!!
That is awesome man. And of course you play a Poison riff.
I have been looking for the same guitar, however with the BC Rich snakeskin they did in the later 80's, that was my first real guitar. I traded it off back in 2000s, regretted it ever since.
I'm the original owner of same model STIII in pearl white. I think I got it in 1986-87, and it has the same finish cracking in the same spots as your's. Great guitar.
That guitar sounds dark and heavy, cool!
Splendid guitar.
I can't believe you got poisoned by that guitar.
sounds awesome
Hey that new camera you're using is great - dont know when you started using it but the video image quality is awesome
31 Days from Canada? Good to know the Canadian Pony Express is still going strong.
Sweet! Love the Poison riff. That really illustrates the era. Hey, have you ever done a "proper way to pack a guitar" video? I'd like that.
Love it and nice you played Poison to show it off .. LOL
Sounds great
New tones, have fun 🤘🏼
great switching system
Wow! I've only bought a Les Paul off Reverb from a guy in Calgary and he did an amazing job packing it. I sold my PRS there too and used to much packaging you could hit it with an Axe.
I saw a nice Kiesel thr other day though and the guy says it doesn't ship in a case. Erm, I'm out!
Bought an Epiphone Les Paul on ebay which arrived just wrapped in a single layer of bubble wrap. No case or box, just one layer of wrap! Amazingly it was absolutely fine.
Buddy of mine had a Gunslinger from that era. That pony had one trick but it did that one trick spectacularly lol. Talk Dirty To Me tone was that trick
I have a st 111bc Rich blue métal flake !Nice vidéo!
That guitar brings back bad memories of hangovers, tight boots and way too much fun.
Nice sounding B.C Rich, even unplugged it came across with a nice lower mids pushed sound. I'm a bit jealous now, even though I've got a bunch of Jackson/Charvels I only have a single BC Rich (Warlock). Really should have scooped some up before the latest 80's aesthetic trend.
😉the lower mids coming from the table she was resting on. But she def. rocks. Very good bridge pup!
Mine is in hot neon pink :) I also have a custom shop "black hole" ST3.. white guitar with big holes drilled all through the body and filled with black.. cool guitar
My brand new Fender Player Series Strat showed up from the factory with far less. It was literally a thin foam sleeve with two cardboard bump stops for the head/bottom strap pin.. I swapped it for a Squier that came packed considerably better. haha
Grabs BC Rich... first lick..... Poison... Talk dirty to me!!! Got to love it!!!
I'm going to go buy a feathered wig, put it on, and headbang to the Poison riff you played 😉 that thing sounds really good!
Crazy shipping! I was just restringing my ‘87 B.C. Rich STIII (w/ factory red python snake skin top graphics - hey, it was the 80’s) (I bought it in ‘88) when this video popped up. (Not a single crack on mine.)
I've had a few 80's STIII's and they all played great. If I'm remembering correctly they all had big slabs of rosewood for the fingerboard - thicker than I normally see on other guitars. Some of them came with floyds and others had an Ibanez Edge. I can't tell in the video which you have.
That's a sweet looking guitar
Phil , if that is the worst you have ever seen a guitar packed you are a lucky man!! I recently bought an off brand super strat off of amazon that was shipped directly from the music store in texas.(G+L Music store)... The guitar was literally just wrapped in a sheet of cardboard.. Not a box, just a sheet of flat cardboard folded wrapped around the guitar with zero packing then taped closed.. when it arived the volume pot nut and washer had beed pushed right through the wood into the control cavity and half the strings were broken from the floyd being pressed against the body route .. I was charged $50 for that shipping job to ad insult to the situation..It could have been REAL bad.. I was actually amazed the neck didnt get toasted at the scarf joint and there wasnt more damage thn there was.. . Didnt pay too much for the guitar so I repaired it and kept it.. Left feedback for the store in line with the trainwreck I received only for them to dispute it and have amazon remove my feedback and pics.. Wish I could post pics of how it arrived here but alass YT sucks.. so remember , avoid G+L music on amazon .. HORRIBLE seller ..
Ah those crazy Canucks!!!!
Oh wait, I'm one. :-)
Wow I had that guitar back in the day it was blue I miss that guitar
Phil you were plug into a boss katana mk2? it sounded really good
great guitars
"How to pack a guitar for shipping like a pro" video coming soon? 😁
StewMac also has a nice video. And I think Reverb has some nice tips on their site.z Just shipped my first guitar and those videos helped a lot. But I’m only doing local sales for now, that was way too much work for me haha.
It reminds me of the first guitar i've bought before I sell n replace with MIM strat
ive always been turned off by 22 fret guitars cus i love the the extra frets for soloing, but im super tempted to get something like this. or just an charvel 24 fret
Awesome! Maybe not value but pure nostalgia
Talk Dirty to Me is probably the first song i woulda played too !! Haha! Great Axe!!
Ooh. It's a Fragile. Great Italian custon shop.
I bought a new guitar and 80lbs 2×12 amp and FedEx had them at my house in 3 days. Amazing in these times!
Special Effects should have made it glow like in Pulp Fiction.
Lol
Nicely done!! POISON!!!
One hell of guitar
Do a video on the best ways to pack a guitar for shipping!
All you need for that guitar now is the mopar super B stripe, and you are off to the races 😊
I wanna get one of those and play blues on it 👍🏼
