OFFTOP:BC RICH vs JACKSON

[Sonm]

I am gonna buy the guitar this or next week. Kinda okay but I am nearly torn apart by a annoying doubts...

BC Rich Warlock "Flesh Ring" ? (395)
or
Jackson RR-3 (? 695)

Rich looks better and it's nearly two times cheaper, but Jackson is Jackson... moreover I am not entirely sure whether Rich has a Fl.Rose... looks like it doesn't. Anyway I am gonna test what's most important - how they sound but mybe some of you could make any useful suggestion?

P.S. I am not a guitarist, hehe, just a guy who can play guitar!
Cheers and thanks! :Spin:

I would go for the Jackson. I've never liked the "warlock".

Jackson my friend, you won't regret it.

Ill third vote a jackson, i recently bought a new guitar, tried out a few BC rich's and didnt like them at all, then i bought a jackson, best move i ever made.

Yeah, the cheap Riches ain't worth a shit. If you want a good quality BC Rich, you have to go with the American Handmade Series, or at the very least, their NJ Series. I've owned both a high quality Jackson and a high quality BC Rich in the past, and they are both great. A guitar is as good as the person playing it, I say, as well as the corresponding amp, effects, etc.

The Jackson is WELL worth its extra money, trust me... Japanese Jacksons are a great bang for the buck. Yes, the BC Rich is cheaper, but there are reasons why that's the case: cheap labour, cheap parts, cheap wood.
It'll neither feel nor sound nearly as good as the Jackson.

BTW, I own two Japanese Jacksons, a KVX10 and a DKMGT... great guitars!

Oh, and btw, IMO the Rhoads looks way better than the Warlock. But that's me...

Get a Les Paul or a PRS

Jacksons and BC Riches = FIREWOOD!

 

[iAMtheblackwizards]

No a les paul is firewood. Its overpriced, and overweight, and the sound isnt as good as it used to be. Thick neck also hurts it quite a bit. PRS on the other hand is worth every penny, just hella expensive

I can't believe this is an actual question. Jackson hands down. If it came without a Floyd I'd jump all over it (Floyds are a pain in the ass)

 

[iAMtheblackwizards]

There are a few jacksons with fixed bridges

LOL dude! what Les Paul are you talkin about??? Epliphone? Too heavy??? lift some weights you fat slapper! Anything Standard, Custom or higher.. the thick neck sounds phat. Pussies just cant play it, makes their weak hands ache. I have played everything and owned everything and I keep selling em and going back to my vintage LP, nothing sounds better, all tonal ranges, I just wish they made a baritone model.

Actually, high-end Ibanez guitars are very nice, if you are looking for a nice metal guitar... the entry-level ones are junk, but some of the S-series are fantastic. Jacksons are great, older the better, I love the wide necks... I havent played any of the new stuff though. BC Rich is crap, but just the ones I have played, warlock, etc.. Dan's BCR is very nice, strat copy, I dont think they make it anymore???

I am old school and prefer a bad ass Gretsch or a vintage LP, so take into account this is all personal preference. Play everything you can get your hands on before you drop $1500 on anything.

 

[iAMtheblackwizards]

my weak hands ache because im a feeble little bitch, not because the neck of a les paul is as thick as a tree trunk. There is also a huge difference between a vintage LP and a current LP. Now a les paul is nothing more than kindling with les pauls name put on it, or a nice blunt object to murder people with (although it doesnt have the awesome stabbing power of a jackson or bc rich). Death to all who do not play pointy guitars

 

[mattcira]

although I am all about the whole "how much would this guitar hurt if I stuck it up your ass" points scale... My 50 lb. les paul has transferred me from a 120lb. paperweight into a 165 lb. muscle machine! Lugging around a JCM 900 head and 4x12 cab helps too, but nothing can compare to the muscle shaping workout you get from wanking on a les paul. take a look at any guitar player's hands. thin, boney?? pussy plays a jackson. thick, phat woman-pleasing banana fingers??? Plays a les paul!!!!

 

[iAMtheblackwizards]

I dont need fat woman pleasing banana fingers because i have a fat woman pleasing third leg

 

[mattcira]

third leg?? do you not have a penis??? Sorry to hear of your anatomic misfortune!!!
