Re: new US made BC RICHs?
That guitar looks really good and by the looks of it, was built by the man himself. Respect to that. When you get a guitar built by one of the ultimate master-builders, you have to pay the premium tied with his time.
That said, I'm with Ascension on this, no matter how high-end it is, she's still a relatively simple build.
IMO that would only deserve the money if it was a custom built piece where I were to pick the wood combo, all of the hardware/pickups/electronics and of course, the neck dimensions/carve and fretboard radius/frets.
If not then yeah, that Suhr looks like a lot more of a guitar for the money, even if on paper it has very similar specs (except for the number of the frets).
On the other side, that Suhr is a Pro Series, the closest Suhr has to a production line. They're built side-by-side with the custom builds but to predetermined specs (with a certain degree of leeway) but still, I would expect they'd get the less successful builds/not as premium woods.
