My BC Rich USA Custom Shop Stealth 7 String.
Here's her specs:
Neck-Through Maple
Mahogany Body
Ebony Fretboard
DiMarzio Evolution & Air Norton Pickups
Vol 3-Way Tone Control Setup
Grover Locking Tuners
Tonepros Tune-O-Matic |
Everything else is pretty apparent from the pictures. Nothing too
flash, just a simple solid black with chrome hardware, quite
minimalist. I love a nice ebony fretboard without inlays, nothing looks
classier. It's definetly a lot more Metal than Prog, as it's kinda
styled after Chuck Schuldiner from Death's guitar, so some people hear
might hate the shape.
Don't get too excited, these are just the dealer's pics, I've not
actually got it in my hands just yet, but I couldn't resists showing
everyone!
I cannot wait for it! :D

Considering i don't like BC Rich, that looks quite nice! A bit too much black for my liking, but nice anyway

Normally id asy as long as the tone is good, then its a good guitar but i think ill always stick to fenders and gibsons. For some reason ive never found the "Metal" style guitars such as BC rich and Jackson(though in terms of quality BC rich is sky high above most of that style) very attractive, by i like the black.

Aye, didn't expect too many people here too be much of a BC Rich fan, but it should be an awesome sounding axe.

I agree i'd have a BC rick over a squire (i have one they are appalling, every time you bend you get string squecks), but i sel the BC and buy a black Fender Stratocaster american 1957 or 1968!
Brilliant mind i have!

I'm sorry, but i found this guitar buttugly..... I love extreme shaped guitars, but i think the edges of this guitar is to soft to be extreme. It also reminds me of the Hondo h-2, witch is a cheap guitar.
The neck looks great though. And I guess the guitar sounds unbeliveable to. Guess it will even look great with the right guy playing it.
------------- It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??

Right, so if some cheap brand makes a cheap knock-off, you dislike the original? You must really dislike Les Pauls so, eh?
Seriously though, I love the shape. It's pretty much Chuck Schuldiner's:
Absolute legend right there.
