Despite the evil looking body shape these are actually twangy sounding. Good for Country music too. Sounds like Country on the clean channel. They have the same longer 25.5" scale like a Fender but humbuckers for metal. It's kind of like a Fender with humbuckers but not really, the neck feel is different but it's a cool sound with good sustain from that hardtail bridge. The tone knob has a wide range from bright brash to soft and muffled. A mid setting sounds like a regular guitar. A small chunk missing under the tail colored black but not noticeable when you play and doesn't affect sound. All B. C. Rich parts, tuners, pickups, controls, bridge. Neck is in good shape.
