A ‘Short’ Video Update for Feb 4th with Eric and Sir Fred
Posted on: February 5, 2010, 5:45 am by Eric McKenna - Filed under BSG NEWS

OK – so it’s Thursday. Fred’s working on a leather wrapped PS1900 guitar that we need to get out to Fran for Paul Stanley…I’m busy trying to get as much done on limited hours as I fight through a terrible 3 plus week bout of the flu. We need to get a good, solid video update out showing the new Bernie Ricos and Washburn’s we have got in and make a few other announcements. But as things would give way today, we ran out of time for a full blow update. Fred had to get moving and I had to get to Austin and Gwen’s school by 3pm. Soooooooooo… what we got here is a ‘little’ update and a cool slideshow to hold us over until Saturday’s update. I welcome you to “Dig it!”

2 more Spalted Topped RICO Customs at BSG!
Posted on: February 5, 2010, 5:08 am by Eric McKenna - Filed under BSG NEWS
|
We have taken delivery on two more Spalted topped Bernie Rico Jr Jekyll guitars. We have one with Chrome hardware including Original Floyd Rose Trem and Seymour Duncan 59 and JB combination. This one is a rarer deep, wavy flamed spalted. Very stunning to admire. The second is a highly contrasting spalted top Jekyll with diamond inlay on the ebony fingerboard and gold hardware including an Original Floyd Rose trem and Seymour Duncan 59 and JB combination. The Jekyll guitar is Bernie’s take on the ’superstrat’ but this is not ‘bolt-on’ my friends. Rico family neck-thru tradition and build quality second to none make these guitars standouts in every way. Both of these guitars have Boogie Street website ‘direct’ pricing of 3575 USD – delivered anywhere in the world via UPS. Call or email me for additional information. . . . |
Bernie Rico’s New ‘VALIANT’ Custom Guitar!
Posted on: February 5, 2010, 4:04 am by Eric McKenna - Filed under BSG NEWS, FEATURED GUITAR
|
Bernie does it again! Bernie has come up with what may be his finest guitar design yet! It’s call the Valiant and it’s one thick, meaty, beautiful, deep carved, neck-thru monster of an electric guitar! And BSG has the #3 Valiant! And ours is done in a deep carved birdseye Redwood top and strips of Redwood matched up with maple for the 5 ply neck! This is a 24 fret Valiant with an ebony fingerboard, Redwood fingerboard binding, gold hardware including ‘locking’ Grover tuners and a Seymour Duncan ‘59 neck humbucker and JB bridge humbucker. There is also a one-piece TonePros bridge. This special handmade guitar has a retail pricing of 6495 USD. Call or email me for pricing. I’m very excited about the direction Bernie is taking Rico Guitars here in 2010 and how he is positioned and pointed toward 2011 and 2012. I’m very proud to be one of the few dealers who market Bernie’s guitars. . . |

Smokin’ Deal on USA Washburn WI560 Idols!
Posted on: December 9, 2009, 11:46 pm by Eric McKenna - Filed under BSG NEWS

As Washburn winds down ’standard’ USA production (yes, BSG will continue to commission ‘CUSTOM’ USA production Washburns…) BSG is one of the few dealer who are marketing the ‘final’ production runs. Long story short – we have some thin body Idols. Think WI68! But these are done with a black stain, hand applied by Washburn’s paint guru, Chewy. Add in the Mother of Pearl Triangle inlay, Gold Grovers with Keystone Buttons and Gold Covered Seymour Duncan JB and 59 Humbuckers, Gold TonePros Bridge, ebony fingerboard…and you have QUITE a guitar! Special pricing for the BSG Family! And get this – it’s BELOW 1000 USD! Yup…including UPS Shipping (cont 48 states/Canada) and Washburn’s factory hardshell case! Can ya dig it? If so – call Eric McKenna at 412-716-3150 or email Eric at eric@boogiestreet.com
