BC Rich

[moore51]

Does anyone know much about a BC Rich guitar. I know Poison and Kiss use to play them.I was considering on getting a Kerry King flying v BC Rich. Just wondering how good they are?

i have played the mick signiture guitar and it was quite nice. The guy in my local music shop thought they were a very good guitar for intermediates or begginers.

I've just been looking at some Ibanez guitars sounds more like what I am looking for

That's my next purchase :D I'm gonna get a JEM like Vai's. Do they come stock with Dimarzio Evolution pickups?

[moore51]

I dont think so but they do have Steve Vai pickups on sale for $59.99 at musiciansfriend.com just type in his name in the item search and you will see them

My guitar teacher has a JEM like Vai's and he has the same pickups as vai is using too. I played once and its got good treble i remember and is a really really light guitar.

I think all of the newer ones come with Evolutions, I may be wrong.

Ibanez are pretty good guitars, IMO. I have a RG570 and I love it. I wouldn't trade it for anything except maybe a JEM.

The slim neck fits me well, and I like how fast the neck is too. I've played many axes from PRS to Les Paul Standards/Studios, and none have felt as good in my hands as an Ibanez.

It's personal preference really.

Listen, Moore, you don't want a B.C. Rich. Trust me. They're just not worth it, at all. I hope I can steer you towards an Ibanez or Jackson. Unlike B.C. Rich guitars, these are not a complete waste of money. Buying a B.C. Rich is buying a guitar merely for the look. Those guitars sound AWFUL!!! Even putting in new pickups can't completely salvage the nuclear waste that is B.C. Rich. Please, I beg you, go with the Ibanez or the Jackson, for your own sake.

I loved the way Vai sounded on the movie Crossroads. I heard he really played both parts of the duel at the end. Man cuttin' heads was awesome.I wonder if he played an Ibanez on it I can't remember if he did or not?
