"Thaz My Bich!"
never gunna part with it, i got it with all the money from my 18th birthday graduatiuon and christmas , it plays awesome and looks even better why would i ever want to get rid of this, and i wont ever need another guitar
Sound
seriously this thing F-ing shreds
Features
i love the figured maple... its what made me have to buy this guitar, the walnut inbetween the neck and mohogany back is another awesome feature, and the contrast i mean just from the back its an eye catcher... oh and the best freature of all, the neck thru cant beat it... ebony fretboard makes it flawless... the only thing oi dont really dig is the cloud inlays and the shape of the headstock... not very bc rich esk but oh well the tone and p[ick ups make up[ for it
Ease of Use
as long as your standing its great sitting down makes it difficult but uyou all know how that goes
Quality
no complaints at all
Value
i paid 6 at guitar center it was listed at 1100 you can pay 10 times that much and still get the same quality
Manufacturer Support

"The best guitar I've ever owned, and a most incredible value!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I am absolute thrilled with this guitar. I will likely never part from it, except maybe if I decide to drop the cash one day on a totally custom, hand made US Supreme, at likely 10 times the cost.
Sound
Excellent, Very Bright (Bridge Pickup) to a nice Warm Mello (Rythm pickup). Wide range of tonal variation.
Features
Where it counts, they did not scrimp on quality. The wood, finish, stiffness, binding, frets, playability are first rate. Where they cut cost was on the hardware, which is easily upgraded to best quality, for very little incremental cost.
Ease of Use
This guitars plays as well as the best I ever played, even guitars costing thousands more. Honest!
Quality
Everything about this guitar is flawless, however, I did have the luxury of hand picking the one I wanted. The store had about 7 or 8 of them in stock and on display, so I looked every one of them over, played them all, and then selected the best of the group. None were bad, and all played very similar, but there was a fair variation in wood grain patterns and color/tonality. I just picked the one that had the grain/color/tonality that I liked best. The neck is straight as an arrow, flat, with no bows or warps. It feels absolutely solid, the tuners are very smooth with absolutely no freeplay. The pickups are top notch. If anything can be considered cheap, it's probably the switches, jacks and, volume/tone potentiameters. I replaced the all with best quality, which was a very minimal investment. The only minor initial quality issue was that the Fret edges were a little rough cut, and needed some dressing with a file, which is typical of many guitars.
Value
This guitar plays better, and stays in tune better, than my '79 Les Paul Custom, and cost less than a quarter!
Manufacturer Support
Never have needed to.
The Wow Factor
The BC Rich Bich Supreme was always my "Dream Guitar" right from the first time I saw it, back in the '70's. Now I own the very near equivalent, for a mere fraction of the cost.

"Best...Guitar...EVER!"
This guitar is the BEST. Nuff' said.
Sound
This guitar is AWESOME. It can handle almost any kind of music but country, and sounds great playing them all. The pups have all the power you will ever need, but to get a less powerful sound I lowered them. Not too hard of a task, just a screwdriver and a little patience. Once lowered, I could get the same Jimmy Page Les Paul sound through an all tube amp w/ no digital effects as I could with my era-perfect Les Paul. I run it through a Bugera 333 120-watt all tube amp combo, and this thing roars. I got about two years ago, and have been experimenting with other guitars, like strats, teles, les pauls, and vintage guitars, and this on blows them all out of the water.
Features
The guitar is a two peice Mahogany body with a thru maple neck, walnut strips, and a nicely figured maple top. It's not overly figured like some of the "super custom shop" guitars that are out there, but my friend has a '61 strat that has been through a lot, and it hardly has any finish or paint left on it. This guitar is again, the greatest.
Ease of Use
The ease of use is fine, if you buy it, you'll get used to it.
Quality
This guitar is my only stage and recording guitar. It goes with me everywhere. It's completely top-notch. The ONLY problem is the cheap plastic top on the selector switch, but it's not a problem.
Value
I can imagine myself saving up 3000 dollars to get a guitar like this but I never had to. The price anywhere is fantastic.
Manufacturer Support
There hasn't been a problem yet except for a mild climate change which caused the fingerboard to swell. I just raised the action, and there. Problem solved.
The Wow Factor
This guitar looks pretty friggin' badass on stage. It also sounds awesome. 10 all the way.
Musical Background:
Fairly Active gigging musician
Musical Style:

"B. C. Rich BICH"
I like it and it kills me that I broke the A string and I can't get strings right now.
Sound
Really nice sound and tone. I got mine brand new at shop for 495$ heheh. Nice b.c. rich pickups good sustain.
Features
2 volume nobs and a tone adjuster.
Ease of Use
The cut out end in the back seem to feel like it has more width compared to the strat type body. Took a day to get the feel for it.
Quality
Product seems to be well made and sturdy ! Its weight feels like a les paul but, a little lighter.
Value
It is well worth the price I think for the pickups expecially.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed them !
The Wow Factor
This depends on personal opinion. My dad doesn't like this design . But, I am into it and it looks better in person than it does on the internet, I actually saw the thing hanging up in the middle of a bunch of guitars. Then played it. Thought about it and bought it a week later. All that on the way it looked.
