MGR/Anonymous « B.C. Rich Platinum Virgin »
Published on 06/24/01 at 15:00I got this guitar slightly used off of ebay for around 210 dollars.
For anyone out there who thinks B.C. Rich guitars are just a marketing ploy to suck money away from kids who think black pointy instruments will get them chicks, think again. As far as axes with bolt-on necks go, this is one of the best I've seen. It plays almost as easy as a Les Paul I was test-driving. The three way swtich and tone knob will give you more than a wide enough range of sounds whether you play lead or rythym.
Well there isn't much to be dissatisified with. The stock strings break with too much pulling or hard strumming, even though this is supposed to be a metal guitar, and you have to be careful or you'll chip it badly, but the same can be said for all "pointy" guitars. There's nothing negative about this guitar that can't be fixed with minor adjustments and carefulness.
Everything on this guitar is smooth where its supposed to be smooth and straight where its supposed to be straight. Chrome tuners, beautiful maple neck, nothing wobbles rattles or hums, what more could you ask for?
If you're into metal, punk or hard rock, you should definentaly put the BC Rich Virgin on your "to look at" list.
