yeah... nice!

Wutz, how the hell does a 10 string work? Like a 12 less 2? And is that what the odd wee things are under his right elbow; machines for the extra 4? :-?

The 10 string is basically like a 12 string without the octave strings for the low E and A... and yes, the tuners for the octave strings are mounted on the body.

I'm not sure about George Koymann... but Joe Perry strung his BC Rich Bich only as a 6 string (to get a rather wide fretboard).

Manny Charlton used 2 Falcons in the 80ies. They are to be seeon on some Videos/DVDs that have been made in this time. AFAIK they have been stolen somewhere in Germany so he doesn't have them anymore. I posted a pic of him from 1985 in this thread awhile ago

Checked a video... George Kooymans plays the Bich without the additional 4 strings as well.

Wow, never seen another yellow Raven before.
Look we have twins.
Just finished giving mine a full overhaul.
Pickups have GOTO on the bottom, yes without the H.
Pots Have Noble 500k written around the edges.
All seems to be original, bar the cavity shielding which I have just done.
cheers.
