Maple body, neck-maple 24 frets, tune 25&#39;5 (increased width of the boxes). Ebony.
Bc Rich BDSM humbuckers 2 by default.
Floyd under license.
2 volumes, 1 tone, 3-position selector.
Channel rather thick, narrow as any electric. Similar to the series F, EX with ESP-Ltd or Ravel in Fernandes.

It lacks the binding on the neck and the head of my Warlock NJ Neck-Thru! And these are only small diamond pearl handle as landmarks such as NT series, and not those who take the full width of the box as normal on this series ... So my guitar is much less than expected mouth feels ... I see what it would cost to add the binding ...
Bc Rich gets on my system never to be rigorous in its product descriptions! Check out the features of their guitars on different websites, you will always find differences in the descriptions. So it would surprise me greatly if they make different series for each country. For example the series IT (invisibolt) official website stated in 2006 and still shows besides "Nato body, whether at the beginning of their discharge or at the moment. Do your research, depending on the country you sometimes find in Nato and sometimes Agathis, which changes damn about the quality of the instrument ...
This information can never delirious with other brands.

UTILIZATION

Channel "painted" a little slippery for me at first, getting used to. But the comfort is there and makes all sorts of fun.
No particular problems for access to acute.
Maybe a little heavy, I was much changed from my previous Ibanez RG550 EX Basswood. The imbalance of the guitar is really minimal and yet, I use a simple synthetic strap, to do with a leather strap.
In terms of its own that rolls, whether the big distortion in its mildest neck pickup. The opposite would be outrageous for a guitar of this series.

SOUNDS

I play it on the head while Mr Hector Labog lamps coupled with a Marshall 1960A cabinet. And sometimes also on my 80W combo Peavey Bandit 112 Sheffield or Guitar Rig 3 (amp simulator pc).
I will not mention the sound of BDSM, see my opinion on that if you&#39;re interested.
I had them replaced with Seymour Duncan SH2 Jazz-in handle and TB6-Distortion in the bridge. With good pickups I savor fully the manufacturing quality of my instrument.
The distos are powerful and accurate (without reaching the potential coldness of an active pickup) and an intermediate position on the dial I get a mellow sound while remaining super punchy, everything I love to play my leads. The second volume (of the neck pickup) I can then be assayed over soft or fishing.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since January 2007.
Even playing without an amp, you realize the quality of sound conduction, the effect of race driver is more than notable. It almost feels the vibrations from one hand to another. So much so that the guitar sounds "hollow".

The two rear screws of floyd springs have the same reactivity which makes adjusting risky.

I tried quite a few models before settling for this guitar. PSE, Jackson, Fernandes, Cort ...
I was looking for a handle as the first criterion rather thick. Then I wanted an aggressive form and an ebony fingerboard. And so, without being able to type in the guitars to 1500 € (ebony remaining material "premium") my choice became rather limited: either Warlock NJ Neck-Thru-matter Esp Ltd F-500, which resembles a too much for my taste in a plastic toy. You saw the horrible truth in this aspect of black matte paint?! The F-50 throw in more ... In addition the shape of F has been softened compared to the U.S. version of the Forest or even Japanese.

The flawless finish and quality. Compared with a quality finish to 1600 € ESP SV differences are not immediately apparent.

I did not opt ​​for Bc Rich NT Series as seen prices of suppliers and NJ NT Neck-Thru, the latter prevailed. Logically the most expensive to manufacture should be better, the number of items produced factor should not play much at the time between these two series. Besides the quality of nato wood for NT is less than that of maple, a wood nato remaining reserved for "guitars for beginners ... see official website Bc Rich Debatable ... maybe.

Of course I do it again this election. This guitar is very nice to play out what we want anyway. A friend more adept tapered sleeves and playing more solos was also found very comfortable.
To compound my black / death (Belphegor style, Arkhon Infaustus) reveals that scrapes all its qualities. A thick handle that allows a good foundation to move the tremolo at all is even jumping over ropes. An ebony fingerboard gives the feeling that your fingers glide over a veil.
I&#39;m curious to see what gives the Japanese, including the series 1200-I (check out http://www.ikebe-gakki.com/shopping_20.php?state=1&cate=1&s_cate=1&brand=20 . At time I could not afford to offer me one, the 25% customs charges detonating the device to more than 1000 €.
To summarize:

The -: A handle may be just a little too thick for maximum ease the sweep and playing fast solos standing. Everything remains feasible.
Floyd The average area, the more I use it the more I find random setting.

The pros: A perfect fit for the game rhythmic thrash rhythms, brutal riffs with black technical death, anything goes at ease.
Comfort for this price: ebony handle and driver.
