MGR/Eric Houser « B.C. Rich Beast »
Published on 08/01/02 at 15:00I bought it from a local music store (freds guitars). It was $700.
It kind of looked cool.
First of all, I paid too much, after I bought the fucking thing I saw it online for $599. Second, the "Floyd Rose" tremolo was nothing but a cheap rip-off. One time, I was changing the strings, and when I was tightning the peg..the string came out and ripped the saddle out with it! I was horrified! Also, don't even think you're going to sit down and play this fucking thing, nuh-uh, NO WAY. This guitar DOES NOT know what balance is! It's like holding a weight bar with 50 pounds on one side, and nothing on the other side! It's CRAZY! The one thing I almost liked..was the pickups sounded half decent..until I owned it for a month..then they started shorting out and sounding like "SCCCRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE" everytime I plugged it in, not to mention it can't even handle the distortion on a rogue distortion pedal (great effect for the money! even better than my marshall jackhammer!). A very sad guitar. Not to mention the one time I dropped it..and the point snapped off! I was HORRIFIED. I called BC Rich customer support, and they told me NO SUCH THING like this could happen, and I was being too aggressive with it, which I wasn't, I never even gigged with it! And it only gets worse...I was tightening the locking nut..and the fucking headstock SNAPPED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe what SHIT I was experiencing, it was like a nightmare owning this piece of shit! I eventually ended its pathetic life by selling the parts from it like the knobs, strap pegs, the imitation "Floyd Rose" etc. This guitar does make great fire-wood might I add!
Anyway, DON'T BUY THIS THING.
Hm..on a scale from 1-10..-10
Horrible, not worth the money, this guitar shouldn't be called the "beast" it should be called the "ONE BIG FUCKING PROBLEM!" anyway, if I were you..I'd steer clear of this one. I still find pieces of the points laying on my apartment floor, I thought I got rid of the fucking thing..but that fucker just lingers like a bad fart!
