Review by a visitor on 18.3.2006




i bought it at lemster music centre for £199. Inullve always been a fan of the flyin v and i couldnt resist when i saw this beauty.

 
 
  Features  
 
The tattoo type features make it stand out completly although it does bare resemblance to the flyin v used in metallica. The stock pickups could be better but for the type of music this axe was made for they work perfect.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
if you want a metal sound then this is the guitar for you as it has the perfect look and sound. The right distortion effects make it stand out from any other guitar.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Not perfect for all style of songs so if doin a gig pack a telecaster or strat with you. But other than that its perfect for out-playing other guitars
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
it is reliable enough for a live gig with the right amp (a fender is perfect). You will have to keep retuning it when you put it in its case as the tuning pedals do move.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
i would recomend this guitar to any other person.

i bought this guitar at west coast guitars, in vancouver, for about 500 $

 
 
  Features  
 
the look is great, but the stock pickups kinda suck. the tone and volumes controls are a little bit odd, and take some getting used to.the overall sound is fair although the only style of music that sounds right on this axe is metal.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
this guitar is easy to play, and the slides sound great
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
the sound quality is pretty good. its better than my other guitar, which is a knockoff SG.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
this guitar needs to be tuned frequently because the pegs always get turned when you try and put the guitar in its bag.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
i chose this guitar because it looked wicked, and the price wasnt bad either. i enjoy the sound quality that i get although i wish that it sounded less heavy metal.

I went to music123.com and was lookin for an awesome looking guitar. After searching for a while I came across the BC Rich guitar line and I found the coolest looking guitar. As soon as I saw it I instantly bought it for about $350.

 
 
  Features  
 
First off it looks frigginnull awesome! The design is unique and not basic like most electric guitars. The looks rate high but the pickups arennullt the best ever. A downside is the type of music you can play on it (mostly metal or nu-metal) and blues or jazz songs donnullt work right with this guitar. I donnullt really care about this fact since I mostly play metal anyways.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
It doesnnullt perform as well as fender strats do but it works pretty darn well.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
The sound effects arennullt totally great since the stock pickups arennullt terrific. But getting different pickups easily fix that problem.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
Inullm not sure how durable it is since Inullve kept good care of it and never dropped it. Inullve only had it for a few months though, so it hasnnullt worn much.You have to tune it oftenly since it usually becomes untuned easily.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
This guitar is great. I mostly chose it for the looks but now that Inullve owned it for a short while Inullve gotten different reasons to like it. It only lacks a few things (the type of music you can play, the stock pickups, and the tuning junk).
