I designed this shape back in 1989 when I was in 9-10th grade. I was heavily influenced by some of the BC Rich shapes back in the day, so I slammed a few of my own ideas into a shape with a few design aspects of theirs and came up with this. I made the original body in woodshop that year and still have it, although it was never finished. I graduated and forgot about the guitar.
I then got a bug up my butt 10 years later to have it finished and contacted a guy on the internet. That guitar was built by him and I still have that proto, but it did NOT turn out the way I wanted and the quality was horrible.
I then started to look for someone else to build me one....
I met Neal Moser on a Messageboard that's basically dedicated to old BC Rich's as well as his own GMW and Moser guitars. He really liked my design and offered to build it, so I worked out a deal with him and the design is now trademarked/copyrighted by Moser Custom Shop. It's available on his website along with MANY other shaped and you can have them built to your own specs. :banger:
