B.C. Rich - New(-ish) “Invisibolt” neck mounting system

[V-man]

I just saw this for the first time this morning. While 3+3 is rock, not metal IMO and that stupid AF “Krab Stock” will ALWAYS be a non-negotiable deal-breaker for me… however, I find the mounting idea to be extremely clever and for the first time, can envision a bolt-on methodology I can live with.

That's pretty cool the way the neck mounts.

Half set-neck/half neck-thru properties at bolt-on ease? Seems like a clear winner to me… once they ditch that Krabcore bullshit and do these with proper Headstocks.

It's a clever variation of the '70s S.D. Curlee neck joint. More hidden but similar concept.


With the Curlee design the bridge is attached to the neck like a true neck through.

That's pretty cool. I'm also a fan of the Widow headstock so IMHO those are cool and definitely a cool 80's classic design. Being a big W.A.S.P./Blackie Lawless fan since I was a kid in the 80's, I'm a little partial to it.

Yeah I'd like to see this with the traditional BCR headstocks, both the 3x3 and 6L designs.

Better yet, they could just do something like a capital B shape insert and then allow the user to choose between 3+3 or 6IL shapes like the Mockingbird or the junior V hockey stick, etc
