Son of

Behold, Son of Beast. 👹 The Beast model refers to that body outline there which used to be one of  BC Rich's proud designs before being put to death by the new management. I wasn't a fan of this very protrusive outline which looks like an offset Warlock of sort with a hint of the Explorer. Whatever the case might be, I bought this one because it's not a full sized Beast but a shrunken version (hence 'Son of') while retaining the scale length. Also, I'm quite a sucker for a single pickup guitar 😁

I find that truss rod cover rather annoying; Avenge means nothing to me, really. However, the Beast headstock is a real looker & it's often mistaken for the Widow headstock. 

A fresh set of Darco 9s & yes, it's the former generation of Darco strings quite evident from the package design. The fact that they are still in usable condition is a testimony to the efforts made by the Martin camp in making them last. Remember, this version of Darco strings had been discontinued & re-introduced as the ones seen below.
