This guitar was manufactured in Korea.
24 frets / 2 BC Rich Humbuckers
Bridge "Tune O Matic" Fixed "String Through Body" (Strings Through Hole)
3 Adjustments (2 volume and 1 tone) and a pickup selector
The handle is a handle screwed 4 points, rather flat handle end ...
The finish is quite good even if we can expect more for that price, what I mainly blame: the strings are not centered (the high E is closer to the edge of the handle that the low E) The nut on the top of the handle is not suitable for the head Widow, thus, the high E string "does not borrow the entire trench is reserved" (It's a shame, because it inspires no more confidence than that, a little shock on top of the handle and the cord is susceptible to jump to its location).
That's why I put him 7
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice: it is relatively thin and fast access to acute is easy.
When we got used to playing sitting become easier and more enjoyable than a stratocaster, however the guitar tends to nose dive when playing standing up, please have a strap "faux" leather / leather grip it and to avoid duplication of effort.
The guitar is rather light, wood does not seem very dense, and yet we get a good aisaiment sustaint through, inter alia, through-the strings.
The muffled infernal fuse and artificial harmonics on this guitar, which is quickly and easily by hand.
I would put 9 because it is so enjoyable to play.
SOUNDS
I play a lot of heavy metal riff typed / Death Mello, where the sound should be typed with very low and has sharp and acute and clear sound. And I must admit that this guitar, once well tamed perfectly meets my demand.
I play on a Marshall MG100 DFX, with a distortion pedal Rocktron Metal Planet / or a ZOOM G2 ...
In setting distortion cranked, the sound is pretty good on the bridge pickup, this guitar is clearly intended for such use. (On the other hand the microphone handle is too fat and too approximate)
In setting Crunch / Overdrive (70 '/ 80' spirit ^ ^) The neck pickup sounds provided us friendly, and the solos go well, the bridge pickup to a report just as aggressive even in this config sound.
In his clear, the neck pickup gives a warm and pleasant, but lacks clarity and hairline, the bridge pickup is too sharp unpleasant in this type of config, prefer to use both lowering the tone control.
I would put 7 in sound as the pickups lack of accuracy for me, and the neck pickup is clearly not right / crappy / no (delete as appropriate) ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since November 06, and even if I have a fender beside I do not play on the one, because it corresponds better to my style of play
This is a guitar of "transition" that I intend to change soon (missing a floyd rose), which allowed me to test real humbuckers, and thus perceive that this is what I need
I bought it blind, I tried a BC Rich Warlock Bronze Series ... Some time ago and I liked the sound memory, that's why I made the purchase.
The value for money is pretty good, although little blame has some flaws this guitar finish: String thru body => Rings unadjusted Centering ropes, round nut, knob not right, not straight jack plate ( ok good, it's many flaws, but I'm rather obsessive)
If this choice is presented again, without hesitation I would do because, despite these few flaws, this guitar is for me a great guitar for its sound qualities, its sustaint, ease of use, especially for its unique look.
Global opinion: 9 / 10
