ERGONOMICS
Well it's a V, comfort is not optimal. In addition, it is larger than a flying v "classic". So it will take some time to adapt to the game but sitting upright, because it takes up space.
At the handle is nice. I like this kind of round and handle end. It is a little bigger than my LTD. Access to acute is great (the same time it is a V). The heel does not feel, despite the fact that he look imposing. In terms of the key that slides alone: ​​ebony thank you! The only real downside is its weight. the mahogany it's still heavy. A good strap solve this problem, but if you are used to Ibanez guitars and other featherweight, it will make you a shock.

SOUND QUALITY:
This is where the view will be a little spice ... The BDSM pickups are not bad (certainly less than their passive cousins) but not outrageous either. It's no big identity is happening everywhere. In fact it looks like a lot of EMG. Probably because of the active preamp. We had to sustain, harmonics come out easily. In terms of versatility, it really is not their strong point. It's crunch all the time, there is no real clean. Or you really put the gain to 0. This is really a guitar made for metal, and not for anything else.

KAHLER
Yes I am a paragraph dedicated to KAHLER because he deserves it. This is for me the best tremolo that I used, and I've used a lot (different pro edge of Ibanez, vintage tremolo, PINK FLOYD special of LTD and JACKSON, PINK FLOYD original ,. ..) .dropoff window The system is just great: the strings "slide" on bearing bridges, not all the trem block that moves. Optimiale which guarantee stability. And also to make it move like a nag. It is made for that, do not be afraid to shake the rod! I also find that it is much more flexible than FLOYD, you can have more variations. And then the fact that you can switch it to just fixed mode by turning a small screw, it makes a monster versatility. In addition, the settings are so quick and easy ... In short, this tremolo is pure happiness.

GENERAL NOTICE:
In conclusion, I would say that BC RICH really not bad qualities (woods, tremolo) and a look that must be assumed. But there are some "mistakes" as the microphones to be corrected at home to make it a perfect guitar. It is a bit of an exception because at this price (about 500 € new) has not as good at guitar BC RICH.
