Best value: Poor
I&#39;ll not repeat the data sheet

go for fun;)

WARNING: SCRATCH OF METAL - not trying to do something else with it, you&#39;re wasting your time. hence its specs for this game totally oriented to all things flat directly.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -

Construction: neck through - race driver - Blowin sustain
Body wood: alder
Top style: bevel top
Tuners: Grover ® Mini Rotomatic

Fretboard: ebony
Frets: 24 jumbo
Scale: 24 5 / 8 "

Bridge: Wrap around
Pickups: Dimarzio ® X2n - a killer cold and sharp, much cleaner than EMG EMG and yet I love, but a really different sound. for the curious will see the specs of the mic.
Controls: 1 volume - a single volume pot - I was dreaming, in essence, a volume that is more than enough. tone, be honest how many of you have not received their knob tone since it bottomed?? not switch because it only has a dual microphone treble (like no use on this type of guitar)

Color: Onyx - deep black and bright



UTILIZATION

General ergonomics: I&#39;ll be honest, the first time that I took in my hands, I say "What is that toy." I must say that since Gibson played on more than 10 years, Explorer and Les Paul BFG, so in guitar heavy and massive like it&#39;s comfortable Gibs&#39;.
There is a handle with a tiny body, and what lightness. Here too is the opposite of Gibson that are known for their heaviness.

but this round ... long, very long, with an acute attack that I could found on a Washburn N2 for example, comprise a pleasure to type 18 to 24 cases unlike my Gibson had made me forget that I had over 15 boxes (thank you sleeved glued to 30 cm thick).
thickness of the handle, to my surprise very close to a Les Paul for lovers of tree branches is fun for fans of volumes without sleeves, I would imagine the hell ...
Anyway for me it was the first big with good access to treble.

I would add that his neck is a little narrower than a Gibson neck, so the sweep is the cream bomb.
To finish I will quote the previous post: perfect, it&#39;s super clean.

SOUNDS

As I said above: in general BC Rich guitars are already VERY STRONGLY oriented metal, but here we reach the pinnacle of culture death ... So if you are looking for a versatile guitar, go your way. it is a weapon of war for its cold and hard as marble.

is not made to swing or groove to, or to rock, it is pure juice SHRED

So after taking him in hand and feel they have a toy I plugged ... I tested it with distortion and there I took THE SLAP: this toy going to be my toy.

Direct some chords well packed and what surprises is the sound control: square, clean, hard, dense, super bass present without spitting. Treble quasiement equally effective and no medium (the bare minimum and just the right frequencies), roughly the sound of everything in the potato DEATH massive but clean.

Follow shred and then I thought I had grown just by changing scratching. The handle is super easy to play, harmonics emerge from everywhere without effort, or even too easily (you end up putting everywhere). The neck width is slightly smaller than a Les Paul / explore the sweep so keep coming with more ease and DiMarzio gives you the opportunity to hear them in detail without making the typical micro brew m ** *** found in general models Jap / Korean.
it runs itself and the sustain driver of the handle also makes his work, the connections are clean, long and endless taste / Hunger, for fans of Satriani&#39;s enough fun.

IF I have to blame something in her, two things:
- A humbucker in the treble, a volume knob = one sound so it&#39;s all or nothing, either you really like and it&#39;s a real pleasure, whether you like it and it is useless to dwell further on this beast.
- Cut the metal and the distortion importantly, it means that it&#39;s clear that its minimum, that&#39;s why I keep my Gibson sounds more granular and clear. to place a full chorus effect before returning to the big sound, but it will do more for working atmosphere on the length and nuances, there is too limited.

I play with 3 types of tuning: EADGBE classic is cool, but it still sounds better DGCFAD (it is for the DEATH) and GGCFAD (MASTODON type) is a pure killing.
I play mainly DEATH - BRUTAL DEATH top, a bit of BLACK TRASH and rhythmic as solo.
on a Marshall Valvestate 8080 (a pure old school amp).

OVERALL OPINION

I&#39;ve had six months and I confess I do not regret my purchase (especially at 600 € for a skyscraper of OCCAZ who never served).

In the style I tested a lot of Jackson - Randy Rhodes and others, ESP, LTD, which I was never really convinced (even the U.S., too expensive for what it is) - major flaw, handle poorly thought thin, poorly thought out pitch, his soul or no fishing and even less control.
in BC I also tested there by the U.S. cons are very good but it&#39;s not the same budget, it is worth 800-900 new and can be found at 600-700 €, the USA is 3000 $ 4000

I&#39;m considering a small nab Washburn N2 to have access to acute equally cool on a guitar with a floyd which takes the road without breaking the bank.

What I love most: the scratching of Chuck, no less, that should suffice, no kidding, she has a true identity, it rings for an Asian model, as a major. sound control is really facing your playing and it leaves room for expression is rare that price.
what I like least: its appearance a bit too toy to the first approach, do not trust. that can handle the bright "sometimes" hang, but then I quibble. its clear sound that would could be a little more work. say that I blame him not, but it ends up missing.

A tip: for those who lack the serious micro and the Floyd, you lean on the original model BC Rich Stealth before he became a signature model. Found in version other than U.S. (roughly € 3500 in OCCAZ) super heavy it has all the trappings.

Value for money: see the beginning of this section, it is very good ....... if we love the sound, otherwise we must continue the fitting.
With the experience I do it again the same choice, I retype the 300km round trip I made to fetch without issue.

Attention: I attend to the fact that really is a skyscraper completely dedicated to pure metal, it is not hot for 2 cents, not even lukewarm, it is cold, hard, clean, square. it never ring punk, rock, emo, etc. ... it sounds loud and metal.

in memory of ... RIP CHUCK
