I must say I'm not much of a BC Rich fan myself, always seems a little cheap to me, but they do make some really cool shaped bodies.
I'm more of a Les Paul man, I love 'em can't get enough, I've got 4 guitars n two of'em are Les Paul's, only Epiphone's but they still give off a good sound and have really nice finishes, the only trouble I have with them is the action between strings and frets, but I've found that quite common. I'd really love to have a real Gibson Les Paul, but I aint that rich. Ah well, maybe one day. I've got a strat too, n I must say I'm not too impressed. It's ok when I'm just messing about, but there's no way I'd use one on stage. I quite fancy a tele as well, dunno why, just think I want one of every kinda guitar there is. Or is that being greedy? Anyway, it's nice to dream.
