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.
