Kyle on his BRJ Vixen: What a bad bitch. Bernie Rico Jr, son of Bernie Rico Sr. of B.C. Rich guitars stuck with his father’s company for some time after Sr’s death before following in his footsteps and branching off on his own. He started Bernie Rico Jr. Guitars sometime in the mid-2000s, the exact year escapes me. The Vixen, his take on the classic flying v, was his flagship model. Gary Holt was one of his earliest and highest-profile endorsees taking the shape on as his personal signature.

In early 2012 the company went dark, Bernie’s wife Teresa going public about his persistent mental health issues. This abrupt collapse of the company resulted in a lot of inner industry drama and scorched clients. Turbulence and drama aside, BRJ made some lethal fucking instruments. These were true, inspired progressions and improvements on his father’s company’s designs. I’m hopeful we will see more from BRJ, and the rumor mill suggests we will.

This particular model features mahogany neck-through design, mahogany wings, and highly figured spalted maple top, ebony board, and Bare Knuckle Black Hawk pickups, and I chose to install the new Floyd Rose Pro 1000 tremolo, effectively their take on the Ibanez Lo Pro Edge.
