Good Lord! That BC Rich looks like it could stab somebody:D .

Hey, just take it from me. I had to find out the hard way, buying two different guitars before coming to the conclusion that I absolutely have to have an EBMM. I absolutely will not settle on anything else this time. I sold my Parker Fly Mojo on ebay just this past week, and although I have other financial and family priorities right now, you can bet your sweet asses that my next guitar will be an EBMM. In fact, I'm starting to save up right now! One of the hardest things is deciding which one to get. That blue silo special HHS in someone's avatar looks pretty sweet.

Holy Crap!!

Rob, excuse me, but BUTT UGLY would be a nice thing to say about that BCR. That is kind of like the one my friend telling me he is going to get, though his is the Art Series with all the gears all over the body. I see they have the strap buttons on the back of the body and that in itself can make it uncomfortable to play.

Sorry cain't get into them.

My niece plays a B. C. Rich bass. Maybe they can get together. Just hope no-one falls on their instrument.

Actually, back in the day...BC Rich made some very good guitars and basses. Then it all went down hill....mostly Heavy Metal bands use the BC Rich's due to the "looks" of them. Still, not my cup of tea....to each his own. :cool:

Thanks! :) It sounds even better than it looks. I kid you not, this one has a serious case of mojo. My other one sounds great too, but Mr. Blue has something spooky goin' on.

If you're looking for your first EBMM, and you want great versatility, the rosewood board Sil Spec SSH won't let you down.

Rob, one thing that made a difference was feeding the rosewood with (real) lemon oil, a little with each string change, until the board became deep and rich with a slight sheen. Haven’t needed to add any more oil in quite awhile.

This guitar hung on a music store wall for 4 years , the exposure dried the board out, and beneath the finish had developed fine lines, which could only be detected in certain lighting. Reason it didn’t sell (I believe) early on was because the G string nut groove was cut a tad deep and it buzzed a bit. Then, over time the fine cracks beneath the finish developed as a result of years of exposure to sun and dust. While it was technically still a new guitar and under warranty, it was in effect nearly 5 years old. EBMM replaced the body and gave it a new nut, set it up with the 9.5 strings I sent back with it, and Dudley himself inspected it before it was shipped back to me. Cost to me: $0. They even paid shipping both ways!

I won’t mention what I paid for this guitar off eBay, but it was a steal. It took a bit of time and hassle getting it to original new guitar condition, but EBMM CS could not have been more ACE about the whole thing. I couldn’t be any happier. I mean, could you imagine F or G doing that? Not in my lifetime.
