    Was never into BC Rich... but when I seen the Extreme and Prophecy line I was very interested in giving one a try. I bought the spalted maple 7 string model but the multiscale variant. QC was great, neck feels fantastic. Hardware holds up. And the finish is absolutely fantastic! The guitar looks so amazing and gets so many compliments any time anyone sees it. I collect from many different brands and this guitar is one of my favorites. This guitar can do anything you need it to. If you're on the fence or worried about quality.. don't be. This thing is truly a sonic weapon.

    It sounds great. The Fisman Fluence Pickups are so full, especially the neck pickup. At first, I thought no fret markers would be a problem but once you actually play it for a bit it's really not. The finish is that of quality similar to an Ibanez J. Custom and the abalone highlights it really well. The 3-piece maple on the back looks and feels great with really easy high fret access. The frets are also Really smooth and feel like butter. The kill switch is also a favorite cause it's not this big red clown nose on your guitar. The volume pots in the perfect spot for swells and the neck is flat but not too flat. All in all, amazing well-built guitar.
