Re: Bc Rich The Beast Info

1.) I've always hated Beasts. Awful looking guitars.
2.) It is definitely NOT an American BC Rich it's definitely and import
3.) While not American, it is neck through, so it's at least a decent guitar
4.) You can probably land a better Mockingbird Special X on eBay for about the same price
5.) Being an import doesn't make it a bad guitar but it's not even close to top of the line
6.) I doubt that's a real floyd.
7.) The pickups are BC Rich and so probably ****
8.) The woods used probably aren't bad but they're cheaper versions of better woods you could get elsewhere with other brands.
9.) It's probably the price it is because it's a few years old.

Re: Bc Rich The Beast Info

I do believe it was made in korea.

Understood on the Mockingbird. They seemed to come out with some really nice once s a few years back that are still kicking around new on eBay for the same price. Figured I'd throw that out as an option.

Play it first. The Beasts can be uncomfortable. That rear horn comes up pretty high. (I'm 5'10", so I'm not tiny.) I've got an Avenge SOB (Son Of Beast) which is 80% of the size of the regular Beast and that one is really cool. Mine is a string through, it doesn't have a Floyd Rose option.

Re: Bc Rich The Beast Info

Gunslinger Retros are awesome. Stupid fluorescent colours, maple fretboards, original floyd and (if you get the right vintage) a single slanted Dimarzio Super Distortion! Incredibly cheap for the spec as well, especially second hand.
