I got this as a Christmas gift a few years ago. I asked for it and I got it. it cost $199.99.

I love this guitar. I have a black one and it has little specs of silver on it and makes it look really cool. The bridge pick up is really good. Great tone and feel to it. Its grea for rock or metal. It's really good if dropped a lot and even tried to smash it but its really strong.

The only thing I don't like about it was the original toggle switch was bad and so I had to replace it. It had a problem shorting out.

Very good construction. Nice thick wood and very sturdy pick ups. Everything stays in place and toghter really well.

The only thing I did to this guitar was take off the things for the straps. I put on some eyebolts. they work better for me. Great guitar I recommend it very highly!

I purchased this bass in September 2003. I was researching guitars on the internet and found this one. I paid AU$1200.00 including a hardcase. I bought it from a music store in Blacktown near Sydney. I read reviews on this guitar and decided to purchase for the pick up configuration & looks

I like the bottom end and thump of this bass. It has 4 p style pick ups configured into two HBs. It really is a big heavy sound. I tune to C so you can really notice the power

It is very pointy and has the tendancy to get a few chips. I have been extremely lucky and take very good care of it, I have only one chip on the headstock. It was easily fixed

It is a bolt on neck. Did not initially take to the low tuning of the strings. Truss rod & bridge adjustments had to be made to correct intenation & string tension. It has a solid body and rosewood fret board with diamond inlays. It is top heavy, so the head stock falls. Easy to get use to. Action is great. It has a very large body. It also has a surprisingly large range of tone adjustment from very trebely to very very very low bottom

FANTASTIC GUITAR!!!! BEST EVER BC RICH. If you are looking for massive sound, loads of bottom end. Fantastic shape. Great playability. I would have expected to pay alot more for what I have.

I bought it in Edmonton Canada. I paid Seven hundred and ten dollars, not to bad considering they normally come to $900-1300.

Great sound. I have played with people who own Gibson les Pauls and Jacksons. They all comented on the increadable tone that this guitar has. I have even heard someone say they liked it second to a special edition les paul. The shape is unlike anything else in the guitar world. It will turn heads. The fret board is about as fast as a Jackson and the action is perfect. The Floyed rose keeps it in tune and is constructed well.-WHO EVER THE FAGGOT IS WHO SAID THEY WERE CHEAP PROBABLEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT AND WRECKED IT! Ya Dumb ass. This guitar, along with any Jackson guitar is THE best metal guitar out there

Not To many problems. The shape is a little hard to get used to, but after a while its all good. The headstock spikes can get chips in the paint but that was my fault, I accedently hit my friends guitar, we were jamming in a tiny room. JUST TREAT THIS GUITAR WELL AND YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS unless you buy it used, don't do that. Thats when underlaying problems surface.

Very good. I did notice that the wood was a little softer but it has held up well. I didn't have strap locks and it fell........Shit. It was just fine. Didn't even go out of tune.

This it one of BC. Riches finest peices of work. I play Lots of Metallica and a bit of tourniquet. This guitar is my baby. I have no regrets in buying it. So if you are looking for a guitar that has real Pinash-(Is The Shit) look no further. Don't go for fender. If you are sick of all the little untalented punk rockers and there shitty fenders, check out Bc rich.

Bought it off e-bay for £115, it was a christmas present.

The metallic red colour which I have on mine looks really cool. It more or less looks like an explorer but with a flat end instead if a rounded one. It is a great buy for £115, it looks great. The clean channel can sound it bit muffled by this guitar, but crank up the overdrive and it sounds raw and heavy. Great for metal players. It also works great through my Zoom 606 multi-effects pedal.

The guitar was more or less new when I first bought it, the action was incredibly high on it. The action can be lowered though but you may hear a bit of fret buzz at times. The muffled clean channel isn't that good either, the pickup switch seems a bit flimsy. Some players may also find the neck too wide.

The body of the guitar is very tough, I've dropped it a couple of times without hardly any damage. The guitar feels goo to play. You WILL need to have straplocks on this guitar if you intend to play standing up, they come straight off without them, which is the erason why I dropped it in the first place.

A great guitar for the money, a guitar you can really show off to everyone. I seem to have put more bad points than good points, but I'd still give it 4/5 for the money.
