2010 Warrior Rick Derringer Isabella Guitar

https://www.gbase.com/gear/warrior-rick-derringer-isabella-guitar-2010-zebra-wood

Beautiful example of an Isabella model w/Rick’s blessing, its carved Zebrawood top is stunning, its sculpted Swamp Ash body is outstanding, its set neck is made from maple with Purple Heart soundbars, its maple fingerboard & headstock are made from “Birdseye” maple, its finished off w/abalone oval inlays, Sperzel Trim-Lok tuners, she has Rick’s personal setup having 2 P-90 pickups w/1 single coil Strat style pickup in between, fantastic tone selections, beautiful wooden knobs, Fender style Tremolo unit w/back cover plate autographed by Rick himself (sweated off a bit yet still original), she is near mint shape & one of the best new all around guitars made today, comes w/its certificate of authenticity, instructions & appraisal from Warrior in its original hard case.

No

Best thing about that guitar is the amp.

As nice a Warrior guitar as I've ever seen, but not something I'd buy. If I remember correctly they were a kind of dicky company, so I'd avoid giving them my business (even second hand). In that sorta style I'd rather have a PRS Singlecut Trem:

Here's one w/o maple, but w/ P-90s:

Ooh...that blue PRS is purty!

Bruce Bennett posted his experiences working for them years ago on HCEG....it was pretty ugly

 

[Guitar Heel]

I dig the guitar, but I've heard odd things about Warrior.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I find Warrior stuff kinda fascinating and Id love to play one. This particular model is a bit too stripey for my tastes.

 

[jp_nyc]

The top is attractive. The rest is pretty meh.

 

[Modern Saint]

No

 

[yabba]

Why? it's like so many luthier's tastes never developed past freshman woodshop class. let's just put a bunch of different random figured woods together! figured wood is good, right? so more figured wood must equal more good! yay!

blech.

 

[Dudeman1967]

The neck finish should be darker. Overall it has a certain Rock 'n' Roll Hoochie Koo'ness.

I don't care for the guitar but the pickup selection is interesting.

 

[bsman]

Didn't Rick Derringer do a song about that guitar? "Rock and Roll Icky Poo"

[ellengtrgrl]

Like the zebra wood top, but that's about it for this guitar.

 

[LeftyTom]

No to the maple.

 

[Fumbles]

Don't care for the guitar, but I'm very interested in the pair of Marshalls behind it. I second what Yabba said about luthiers tastes.

 

[mongooz]

that thing is making me dizzy
