Yeah, the new ones they're posting on IG look good. Just the abalone is a tad ridiculous.

It'll be interesting seeing the roll out of the Instagram stuff.
Most of the guitars have OFR, its nice to see that.
Why is everyone shitting on the new BC Rich?
I just checked the instagram... Very cool. This is my new favorite brand.
It looks like they are making quality mid/hi price guitars from SK. It looks like they are following the Charvel strategy of making only mid+ price guitars, no entry level instruments.
Most of the guitars have OFR, its nice to see that. And the evertune. They are using the best bridges when everyone else like Ibanez and MM is going to traditional non-locking.
I like the headstock and the neck through. I like the finishes. They are reviving all the old classic BCR designs, which means this is a brand with a history/pedigree, not some new thing like Agile, Solar, Chapman, etc.
And yes, I even like the abalone. So much guitar playing is shared online, its good to have something that pops.
Charvels are pretty cool, but most of them are playing with the retro "san dimas" vibe. Just a block heel and 22 frets most of them. Jacksons in this price range are indonesian and I don't like the headstock. Ibanez has gone off into hipster territory and are overpriced.
I will say that most of them are quality, but my two shredzillas both have flaws, mainly on the fretboard. Cracks, missing abalone purfling, black filler missing, tool marks etc.
Is it not worth $1500 in your opinion?
Because a company is adding an account on the single fastest-growing social media platform in the world? Meh.
Well they don't necessarily have to do the dings we want. Besides, it's sales that'll probably dictate the future.Because they aren't releasing what the people want and do not listen to us when they say they do.
Alongside that they continue trying to copy shit like Ibanez when they should just be "B.C. Rich."
No 7 string ironbirds, no real ironbirds in general. There is tons and tons of shit that they AREN'T DOING! They need to be doing the things they should be doing as a brand not what they are doing now.
And I own two of the new BCR models so yeah
Well they don't necessarily have to do the dings we want. Besides, it's sales that'll probably dictate the future.
But I've said this 100 pages ago, why put so much effort and different models of yet another superstrat when BC Rich has lots of unique designs.
And the lack of 7 strings, aside from the superstrats.
They are paying someone for marketing. Maybe evenTeven someone overseas who works for cheap. Probably same graphic designer who made that badass collage.bro it just seems like a muthafuckin waste of money. Putting yourself on a platform that is mainly kids who couldn't give less of a shit about guitar. This shit just irks me. They should be spending money making products that the people actually want.

Creating a tiktok acct takes minutes. Updating it when you are already on FB, Instagram, etc is no big deal.
This sounds like.. Get off my lawn! And...Old man shouting at cloud.
