Accessories include gig bag, a guitar strap, cable, picks, and a poster.
Overview
B.C. Rich has taken one of its most popular guitar models, the outrageous Beast(R), and revamped it to create an all-new guitar package. The newly unveiled 'S.O.B.' - meaning 'Son Of Beast' - takes the classic Beast guitar body and headstock and reduces its size 10 percent, resulting in a smaller, lighter version, but retaining its full 25.5 in. scale design.
The pack includes the Bronze Series S.O.B. guitar and a B.C. Rich BCL-10 amplifier with 12 watts of power, built-in distortion, a headphone jack and the Widow headstock shape embossed into its sides.
The new S.O.B. package also comes with value-added accessories such as a protective guitar gig bag, a guitar strap, cable, picks and a poster depicting the artwork from the front of the display box.

"Great package. Excellent sound. Recommended for beginners but experts seem to like it too (atleast the ones I know)."

Everyday that goes by makes me more satisfied with my purchase. I really got my money's worth with this package.
Sound
You won't get a better sound from any budget package out there. The guitar comes with pretty decent pickups. The amp is great for practicing and sounds alot better than one would think.
Features
The picks that come with it are very thin so I never used them. The strap is ok but I replaced it quickly. The gig bag is pretty decent and fits the SOB perfectly. The cord could be better but functions fine (I replaced mine with a longer and more durable cord). The amp is surprisingly good. It's the best practice amp I've ever used (alot better than my son's Fender practice amp). I wish you could get an SOB with a tremolo though.
Ease of Use
It's very playable. When playing in a small room you have to watch the big headstock though. It really sticks out there. I'm using a Zoom GFX-1 processor on the amp without any problems (it gives me some variety until I can afford a larger amp with built in effects).
Quality
Mine is over 3 months old now...no problems at all. Some of the hardware needed tightening when I got it but you have that with almost any guitar that gets shipped to you. Good quality overall. This thing really stays in tune.
Value
It's the best value guitar package on the market.… read more
Manufacturer Support
I haven't had to call support. They made it right to begin with so I wouldn't have to call them.
The Wow Factor
It's a Beast with a 10% smaller body. What's not to want about it? It's awesome and looks good too. Every metalhead should own one.
