Published on 09/21/05 at 15:00Staight up Metal, with a wide range of varieties. Been playing for about four years now, and in a band.
Got mine in black from Musician's friend two years ago for about $150.
This thing is built like a tank. I have had for a fairly long time now, and I have never had a problem with it what so ever. Except for the occasinal string breaking. It is one of the sickest shapes for a guitar.
I don't like the strings and pickups it came with. So I put new strings on it, but I have yet to get new pickups. The pickups give good meaty tone, but not very good harmonics. The balance is a little off too, the neck is heavier than the body. It's also pretty heavy, but you get used to it.
I can not destroy this guitar, like I said it's built like a tank. I drag it every where and nothing has gone wrong. I do have to sa for such a cheap guitar, it has some pretty good craftmanship put into it. Even though it does't have the widow headstock like most BC Richs, it has the classic pointy straight six.
A great beginners guitar, and possibly for more advanced players, with better pickups. I think this is a must have for any metal head just staring out, and looking for a wicked axe to start dishing out some heavy riffs with.
