    One of the most underrated guitarists of all time. That’s why I love Rick, he’s so unassuming yet such a bad at the same time.

    in an issue of …
    in an issue of guitar world from last year….Rick said that he had to choose from his 2,000 strong guitar collection…..i saw in 1996 ithink that he once had 450 instruments but trimmed it to 200 due to hoarding not collecting..

  10. … acid…
    … acid…

  11. WAAAAYYYY back in …
    WAAAAYYYY back in the 1980s, Circus magazine profiled Rick as well, saying he had over 200 guitars as the most ever owned, then in recent years he gave up most of them due to the hoarding factor, he wanted others to put them to good use instead of having them gather dust and by hard to manage.

  12. Yeah, I like the …
    Yeah, I like the idea behind them, and when Rick had the 5 necks, I didn’t know much about electrics or guitars, I was just a kid growing up, Now I can see how it is uber cumbersome!

  13. @MetallicBill
    …
    @MetallicBill
    Well I am just giving my own opinion on those instruments. I know Rick and a few other guitarists such as Jimmy Page are able to use multiple neck guitars for musical and visual purposes.
    On Rick’s main five neck for example, the top neck is a twelve string and the bottom neck is a fretless so I could see that being useful musically.

  14. Well, there are …
    Well, there are uses for them. Twelve string and six strings usually, however, there are variations in edition to those, so it’s not just for effect as Rick SEEMS to be doing, he could have a variety of tunings and electronic setups on each

  15. @MetallicBill Well …
    @MetallicBill Well virtually any double neck guitar is a bit awkward, never mind a triple or a five neck. I have played a few doubles including a BC Rich and after five minutes the novelty wears off for me.

  16. He also struggled …
    He also struggled to play it in the DVD Silver, you can tell, A two neck Rich Bich is one of a large guitar!!

  17. Listen to that …
    Listen to that sustain!!! I don’t hear anything…well, you would if it were playing!

  18. Where’s the plexi …
    Where’s the plexi Glass Axe BC RICH? I guess in 1985 he didn’t have anything Class Axe made, it was later that Bernie Rico allowed Class Axe to make handmade guitars in New Jersey.

  19. he’s a weird …
    he’s a weird lookin guy.

  20. It’s funny how he …
    It’s funny how he tells the interviewer how impractical the five neck guitar is and how he “won’t do that again”. I believe he has three different five necks made besides the original since this program first aired.

  21. What a lovable …
    What a lovable weirdo.

  22. It’s like Spinal …
    It’s like Spinal Tap, “don’t even LOOK at that one!”

  23. he found gene …
    he found gene cornishs rascals guitar in a pawn shop wonder if he still has it

    SOTE through Busted had production issues and I think it’s because the label interfered with CT’s music. When CT plays thoes songs live, they sound great. Once CT left Epic, the music improved a lot.
