«  Really good guitar »

Published on 08/23/14 at 04:23
Manufacturing Korée
Alder body
Maple neck
Rosewood very black
Tune o matic bridge
24 cases
2 humbuckers BC Rich passive bridge and neck
1 volume for each microphone, 1 Master Tone and 1 3 position selector
I said that I shielded the cavity knobs so frying already low original has become almost non-existent distortion even background, on this occasion I could see that the cables are large diameter welded well, quality is to go

UTILIZATION

The handle is just all natural falls or her to be
The shape despite its edges and tips is very comfortable sitting as standing, standing with the strap it is balanced horizontally so a little effort is required to keep it through, just a little trouble at the break in the covers and cases (Fortunately there are special forms for outsized)
Access to acute is natural too, the body is indented, just fixing the handle on which one can bump ... but like most guitars handle screwed.
Sound, quite versatile, with a micro volume can be a little mix between the two, it's nice.
The tuners are good, fluid and precise, they hardly move, even during a concert or more repetitions.

SOUNDS

To the metal is perfect it's just happiness whenever I plug
Should not seek a muffled sound with this beast is made for big sound, not necessarily the hottest and most fat it is rather average to the next:
Clearly, it sounds rather crystalline and banging on the bridge pickup and softer with very deep bass on the neck pickup, a beautiful clean as chordal arpeggios that,
Crunch, power is needed to make a clean almost slight distortion as a function of the attack strings,
Distortion, big bass and lower midrange, treble powerful beings without éxessifs it's more precise, sharp, grain not transcendent but better than most guitars in this price range, harmonics come easily enough, the notes sound good untied , its slime and it is not clean enough.

Since I have one with the maple neck through emg and I know what it is surgical precision, and the BC Rich is not too troll of the cot.

The features that I like most: powerful, precise enough, not bad grain, the deepest of all the guitars I've tried sound (due to the alder body and a pitch of 652mm probably), comfortable, and super beautiful.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 9 years and has not aged
I first had a BC Rich Mockingbird bronze two years before this one
I got it pretty quickly but I've tried almost everything, Squier, Fender, Epiphone, Gibson, Ibanez, Yamaha, Charvel, esp, ltd, Shecter, jakson, prs, etc ...
Only Shecter have a sound that is close but not as deep
I do not hate anything in it she has it all, his only fault (although it's not his fault) is for cases and for the stands due to its shape it can only be suspended by the head.
The value for money is very good, you have to put € 650/700 for the same thing in another brand
I would put 8/10 it is very well made, just the pickups I think change, otherwise really good violin and fittings, nothing has changed and nothing sizzles by now.
Looking back I'll take a guitar-shaped stratovolcano for practicality, but this is secondary, as the sound and comfort are good that's the main thing. It's not a guitar for beginners, but when you start to get the correct level, to repeat, the concerts start and the studio is in its place no doubt.
