@WeAreTheTyrantz Correct way to say it is that my S7320 and Herman Li signature are think like the S series as they are both derivative of the S series. The S series is well known for how thin it is. Herman used to just play a S series guitar before he got a signature deal with them.
B.C.Rich makes good guitars and all are reasonably priced... except this one at like $700. The Draco honestly isn't that nice of a guitar like you said, it's more of a showcase guitar. They focused on the physical appearance of the guitar hoping people would buy it because it looks cool and not question it. Although, it may make you sound better performing as people are so mesmerized by the look of the guitar they don't concentrate on listening to you. So whatever works.
@SwissBassMan00 It's definitely not the Herman Li signature model. I don't think this model is associated with any artist for endorsement. Just a good ol' normal 7 string guitar...
floyd rose necks breaks strings like crazy my guitarist has gone through 6 packs of strings because it breaks them so easily and he isnt whamming hard either and the sad part is its on a beautiful dimebag razorback guitar
@bassplayer2011ify That depends on what string gauge you're using and what type of Floyd Rose you're using. The higher gauge, the tighter the strings, so whenever you raise the whammy bar, the tension becomes too high and then they break. I'm using 12-52 in B standard, and not even once did any of my strings break when using the floyd in 6 months. I tried using 12-52 in D standard, and I used 3 packs of strings in a week. Also, only use the real Floyd Rose, it's the best trem system in all ways.
I think the b.c looks really nice but It would look better in another colour I think and the big downside is just it looks impossible to play sitting down.
@ellis0896 This model comes in Black Onyx as well with a bit of different configuration. As to playing this thing sitting down, it does dig in but no worse than other V shaped guitars.
I got the black version of this just yesterday. It's my first guitar and it's so cool. I posted pics on my Flickr too. I go by the same name as here Thagirion3. Look me up there. I intend to play it. I don't buy things to hang on my walls unless they are posters. I'm also the type that opens action figures and plays with them. Nice review.
omg that bc rich is the ugliest guitar i`ve seen in my life... even uglier than the firebird X! and i don`t wanna be a jerk but bc rich use to sound like shit!
@KingOfShadows1500 Well I myself wouldn't lump them all into saying that they all sound like turd. Some are all right while some are terrible. I happen to think the guitar looks hot but hey i know it can't float everyone's boat. I do agree firebird is not a good looking guitar but I know thousands of peeps also think that is a nice looking guitar. this is why we collect. right? :)
@gh05trider9- A lot of people love the firebird, it's a classic shape. Kingofshadows1500 was talking about the "Firebird X" which is gibson's newest robot guitar, and it looks like vomit.
@superlou1s Yes I matter of fact, just saw the whole Firebird X at NAMM 2011. They were also at CES. The guitars look like hell and the whole gimmicky thing isn't really worthwhile. Sounds terrible too.
some people just wont move past your lp or strat bodies.blitzspeer i have a draco as well as many others and it plays with the best gibsons or fenders out there.i find it to be sound wise right up there with my rr5 or high end deans .if you played one that sounded like crap at music store i,m sure the setup was bad on it as i find most guitars in retail shops have bad set up jobs on them if there even messed with at all mostly displayed right out of the box
i got one of these n i freaking love it, looks awesome, i bought this to replace my first guitar n i didnt start playing seriously until i got this even tho im still not great at guitar holding this i feel like a pro
@gh05trider9 Okey, but does it hurt a lot, or can you get used to it? When i got my warbeast it was digging into my leg a lot in the beginning as well but it was easy to get used to
The thin body doesn't make it any more comfortable to me;I sold my Ibanez because it just wsn't that good of a guitar.This Draco looks cool at first until you play it and realize how uncomfortable the damn guitar is;some guitar's are just novelty item's and in reality are not fun to play.The Draco sells for 5-600 but sounds like a 250 dollar Warlock,it's just a conversation piece and standing up the jack digs in to your waist and or hip.
@MrCookiemonster01 Well it is as limited as having one pickup. It doesn't coil split as is or anything like that. I still think it's a "show" guitar so if you don't like the way it sounds, perhaps you can shove in a versatile pickup and make it to coil tap.
so yeah, been looking into getting that guitar(draco ghost flame), called every guitar store on north america (literally, took me a few days) and NOBODY has it in stock, and the shipment MIGHT be in dec. 10th......so that really pisses me off. i was told there are only a few models currently in existance...and you've got one......thats totally unfair.
hey, is that BC Rich Draco Ghost Flame guitar well balanced? does the neck drop easily when playing standing up? that would be great for trashmetal music...
man the ghost flame is a beautiful piece of guitar craftsmanship, i own the onyx model, someone bought the ghost flame minutes before i got to the dealer, a little bummed, but i'm extremely happy with my purchase, its the most comfortable guitar i own, playability is unreal, and i mean come on its wicked as hell looking haha. Kudos to you man! Rock it out!
I thought it was gonna be difficult to play a seven-string because the neck was bigger, and I was so used to the original six-string neck. To be honest, I doesn't feel much different at all. :)
Awesome! I played the black one at a local shop it was comfortable, and im wanting to order either the black one or this one sense I like the color white for guitars better, and the flame job looks great. The one I played set really well, then again im on of those people who are comfortable with playing V's even setting down, and have a harder time with the guitar that sets on your lap.
@westernfilet I could, I just don't prefer it. That extra wing flare does dig in. for straddling between legs, I find the one with longer horn more comfortable than a RR actually. (a bit more to hold onto)
@gh05trider9 Can you do a video demonstrating the sound and neck playability? Locally, I cannot find anyone who has this in stock and I'm wary of ordering one blindly.
@westernfilet If it makes any difference, I ordered this guitar online sight unseen as well. Everyone gives you more than enough days to check it out and return if you need to. Should be all right. It isn't a guitar you will see at a local store especially any big box guitar stores.
@Psychoguy99 none taken. just as with anything in life, it is an acquired taste and obviously can't make everyone smile at it. but that's why collecting guitars is fun. they come in all different shapes and sizes. That's why it's never enough, I keep telling my wife... :)
@guitarzilla101 I have a new guitar (I know it's crazy to think I ordered another one) coming tomorrow or Wednesday - so I'm thinking shortly after that. But it isn't anything really special. I got it as a "beater" for me to practice with everyday... we shall see.
@MLMguitarguy Well as I said the guitar was available on Craigslist locally and I got it at a very good price after bargaining with the seller. I will just say about half of what a brand new one would cost. I'd definitely avoid eBay for used guitars unless locally available. Seeing one in person and at least feeling it out a bit can immediately tell you whether it's worth picking up or not. Ones that have to be shipped, you just can't tell just by seeing the photos.
2 amazing guitars. could u put up a vid of u jammin on the Draco. and just so u know it is called the (dra co) the second one that you say at 3 min 51sec. it is named after Draco the dragon from legends. and the star constellation. and what 7 string songs do u want to play?
@MLMguitarguy Hi MLM! Glad to see you back on my video again! Gotcha. Now I know how to call it properly! :) 7 string guitars are commonly associated with Vai, Deftones and maybe Korn, but I'm not really digging much of them. I just happen to really like the album, Shogun, by Trivium. Hey thanks again for checking out the vid!
@gh05trider9 i was just wondering because i have a 7 string and its not the best one in the world so i am thinking about upgrading to a better one and i found one on ebay and i wanted to know about how much u paid for yours (that is if you dont mind me asking) how much u paid because the same guitar is for sale. that is if you dont mind me asking how much u paid
