Good point. There are many factors to consider when buying a guitar. The way it looks is one of those factors, but it also needs to sound good, be affordable for you, well made & feel comfortable for you to play. You can buy a guitar based on any of these areas, so you'll have to decide which one is most important to you.

The consensus here seems to be that current BC Rich guitars are cheap & look cool (depending on your taste), but they are not well made, can be uncomfortable to play, and may not be the best sound quality.
