10 Things Techs Wish They Could Say To Worship Leaders

1. " I can't break the laws of physics just so you can have more vocal in your monitor. I didn't invent the laws, I just live by them"
2. "Repeating the phrase, 'More me, more me' from the microphone, over and over, comes across just a bit self-centered."
3. "No, there isn't a 'muddy knob' I can turn down to make it sound better"
4. "A new microphone will help some, but let's not expect any miracles."
5. "Do you think you could move the monitor yourself? If not, I'll certainly run all the way down the stairs, across the auditorium and up to the stage to scoot it over three inches"

History of BC Rich B-28 Acoustic Guitars Part 2.

Did a Google search on my BC Rich B-28.
There isn't a lot of information out there.
This is part of a e-mail response to a former owner of a B 28.
Owners  are far and few between.
Based upon what I know to be true of my guitar, below is Dale's response:

Steve,
As far as I know Bernie Rico only used Brazilian Rosewood on early B-28's.
Note that their is no truss rod in the neck.
This is due to Bernie Rico being raised by his father who only made Flamenco
