@MatKiller1197 I would, and was about to do it, but i got a good offer for a Alexi 600 and bought that pretty baby. It was a return from one guy that didnt like it, which was good for me, cause i saved 180€ at that time.
@sourceofflames Man, this video is a bit old. Dont you think so? At that time, they were the only options i had for my budget and specs i wanted at that time. Leave a constructive comment that helps other people, and not this kind of crap. Thank you.
I have the Epiphone Prophecy Futura and The Epiphone Prophecy Les paul and love them both, a am a little more partial to the Futura only because the neck is a tiny bit wider and it has a Floyd Rose! The Alexi is a a moded Rhoads isn't it?
@metal4ever1997 alexi, then played an ibanez that was just over half the price an use that now instead, getting an agile 8 string after crimbo, but i'll never buy an esp ever again
@metal4ever1997 Thats weird . Both me and my guitar instructor have owned and ESP and an Ibanez, and we both prefer ESP, and he has the Horizon while I have a $350 dollar ESP, way better than my Ibanez
I'd take the B.C. since you can actually pull up on the floyd unlike the epi. But the kill can make up for it I suppose. So, that decision is entirely based on what you like more: Pulling up on the floyd or the kill effect? Personally, I'd take the floyd.
I'd go with Epiphone personally. I've played Epiphone the last 8 or 9 years and never had any major issues with any of them. Plus I'm a fan of the Explorer models so ;)
@MrGasson It's not that it's a V. It's shape doesn't make the guitar, although the shape can play a role in the comfort you can get out of the guitar. I'm just telling you from my experience that any B.C. in the same price range as the delux V will smoke any epiphone just on quality and features. Most of these people don't know jack. Go to a guitar store and try them all, but don't buy anything. Wait a few weeks to pick one after trying them all out several times. This way you don't regret it...
@OrderOfDeathDotCom my friend has a dean split tail which is pretty much a v and a sg mashed together and my god its so uncomfortable to play, v's may look decent when your watching your favourite band play with them but when your playing one its bloody uncomfortable xD
@MrGasson I have a BC Rich Beast and a Gibson Les Paul. The Beast smokes the more expensive gibson in so many ways, but it's odd shape makes it very uncomfortable. One of the high in BC Rich Mockingbirds is an easy shape to handle. V shaped guitars are great for playing standing up or if you put it between your legs right when sitting down. The best thing about a V is total access of the fretboard. If you're into guitar solos like me it's almost the perfect shape...
@OrderOfDeathDotCom well i dont really spend too much on my guitars since ive just started college lol and am reasonably new to guitaring (about a year now) i have an Ibanez GAX30 cheap and decent and comfortable.
Still i do find customising guitars the way foreward as im considering getting a pair of seymour duncan invaders. :D
id go for the B.C rich but get the widow head stock instead, the tone is more mean that way. i would never get a guitar that some one els's signature on it personally. plus the B.C rich jr deluxe is a shredders dream.
both look completely awesome!!!! Either one dude I'd say you're gonna love, they look totally identical in sound and stuff, just chose the one with the better action on the fretboard
B.C. Rich! I have an NJ deluxe warlock. its sounds amazing and the specification is fantastic. active emgs original floyd neck through and pearl binding for that money. its unbeliveable
I have the bc rich just the version with the beast headstock ....there virtually the same but fuck the epiphone i played it and it sucked the bc rich is way better get it
i've played the Marcus Henderson, and tomrrow i'm going to put it on layaway. The Apparation is a fantastic guitar, and i am going to get it. i recommend it, but the ultimate test is up to you. you need to play both guitars and see which is more comfortable for you.
did you get a new guitar yet? It looks like you posted this question a year ago. Here's a video of a concept I'm going for but I have to build them. Selling 2 of them but so far no offers.
@nottobeseenguitarist actually they just sway over to those METAL ONLY players, but they do have killer tones, not as good as my razorback, i dont really think any guitar has as much as a smooth crunchy tone as a dean razorback
@TH3C0RPS3R I pretty much only play metal, ranging from some of the softer bands like metallica to some of the heavier bands like cannible corpse or children of bodom. I just highly dislike the BC rich tone
get apparition. i got it, and it rocks. emgs make really good sound and floyd rose just couldn't work better. neck is thin and has really good playability.
the deluxe Jrv is a killer guitar...and also the apparition seems to not have cavity for the floyd rose to go up for squeelies and stuff only down for divebombs and regular vibrato.I would recommend the bc rich.Also the epiphone series use low quality woods.If i were you i would try both of them and see.
From what i've heard BC riches sound like shit and have terrible playability and i play guitar so i know what im talkin about. the apparation would be my recommendation- 1 cool look 2 kill switch 3 EMG's!!! 4- my friend has an epiphone and it's pretty nice it's a les paul but it's epiphone so idk his sounds nice i bet that explorer type epiphone sounds great too.
yea...but the epiphone has a killswitch, awesome paint job, scythe fretboard inlay, a floyd rose, neat reflective pickguard, neat looking tuner knobs, plus the epiphone comes with picks, a neat booklet about the artist that created the guitar (i think..), and a new set of strings. better??? i think so.
for quality..by far the bc rich...if you want to be "unique" then get the other guitar for the pure reason it has a kill switch. Other than that, its quite inferior. I think the bc rich looks better too..fully body/neck/headstock binding and the quilt maple top on the henderson is low quality and ugly. The V has neck through construction for comfort and sustain...
I'd go for the apparition, since it has the killswitch which makes it actually a pretty unique instrument. Also it has a cool explorer-y bodyshape and everyone has a V so you'd seem like an imaginationless tool with it.. kinda
neck through is that the neck is just a piece going through the body and with tat you get acces to all of the 24 frets easily and it givs you much better sustain!!
binding is like a color-stripe going throg the guitar and thats just a cosmetic shit!!
oooh you were talking about the necktrough construction! my bad. I don't really se why you couldn't do the same to a bolt-on neck or set neck? Maybe you'd like to elaborate a bit, with me being so stupid and all, surely you can tell me.
Bc Rich. To be honest I tried both out and it really matters on what you think and how you think it feels. But with the BC Rich since It has both a locking nut and a string thru then it wont go out of tune as easy. Both have thick bodies. But the Bc Rich Is thicker. Also I tried both out, my friend has the Epiphone and I have the BC Rich. I liked the Bc Rich a little bit better. But it really matters on what you think. Try em out see how you like them.
You mean the Epiphone? I tried out the B.C. RIch at a local Guitar Center and found it quiet enjoyable....also quiet easy to damage. That guitar is practically begging to lose it corners. You can't really play live gigs with it and its incredibly uncomfortable to play sitting down. It was perfect in every other way to me. You get a better deal with the Epiphone Package Deal for the Apparition- case,strap,strings,and chord $750 Musicians Friend
dude B.C RICH JR! i tried it and its amazing!!! the tremolo/whammy is perfect , the emgs are awesome, great sound and sustain, the only i would want to recommend is that (in my opinoin) to change the strings and there for some Nice Tite-Fit .09-.42 DR strings! and as for that other guitar the appration? i think its called? ok well i dont wanna make it sound horrible but i just love the emgs and tremolo, but it sounds exatly the same as the Peavy PXD void II (or I), yeh so get the B.C RICH
well both guitars are great i was actually going to buy an apparation but when i got to play one it wasent as great as i thought it would be so . . . . . . . . B.C Rich
hmmm, the epi in my opinion is better. but then again it does come down to ur preferances. the alexi esp wasent the best choice. when you break it down to what it real is, it's nothing special comaired to ur other 2 options
uuuhh yeah! Today is one of the best days in my fucking life. I have now an ESP Ltd Alexi 600. The sound is amazing, clean is not so good, but the distortion is so fucking amazing. And the best thing: I get it for 888€. I really love my new baby, and im so happy with it.
So, I hope this video helps other people who is deciding between this two guitars, like I did.
If I had to decide between this two, I would choose the BC Rich.
what a mind fuck this one is....im actually trying to figure this one out myself. 2 great guitars and great prices to boot. im making my choice by the end of the month... Haven't got a chance to play either guitar yet. Have u?
It maybe sounds a bit strange, but today I had sent the guitar (RG 2550z) back to the shop. The guitar was not bad, but the edge zero, in my opinion, its the biggest shit I ever played.
Now im deciding between a BC Rich Kerry King V with Kahler and PA2, or the NJ Deluxe with Floyd Rose.
It was a mistake to buy the Ibanez, because it is not bad, but not perfect too.
So, which guitar do you recommend me, a Kerry King signature with preamp and Kahler, or an NJ Deluxe with Floyd Rose?
I finally decided to buy something different, a Ibanez RG 2550z. Why? Because I get it for 790€, the original price is something like 1095€. After reading a lot of reviews, I think that this guitar is a good choice, and I can be shure that the quality is good too. A lot of people says that the BC RIch quality sometimes is not so good as they say in their descriptions.
So, an Ibanez Prestige for 790 bucks, I think its OK,
well, they're almost the same guitar, both have EMG's and Asian OFR, 24 frets, but I dunno how thick is the fingerboard, but I already know Marcus' is really nice for tapping, IMO you should get an Ibanez RGR1570, 699 dlls and Edge Pro Tremolo (Is not crap like Edge III, almost as nice as OFR) with shredders neck but If of those 2 the marcus would be the closest to Ibanez, anyways Bc Rich made a good one with that V....
well I hope your a metal head cuz if not your fucked, but in my opinion their both good but personally a prefer the X shape so i would go with the epiphone and im not a big fan of the V shape, so go for the Epiphone cuz persanally think their a more realiable guitar.
a kill button is nothing more than a switch that cuts the sound when you you hit strings. The best exemple for this sound is Jordan, from Buckethead. Listen to the intro of this song.

dude B.C RICH JR! i tried it and its amazing!!! the tremolo/whammy is perfect , the emgs are awesome, great sound and sustain, the only i would want to recommend is that (in my opinoin) to change the strings and there for some Nice Tite-Fit .09-.42 DR strings! and as for that other guitar the appration? i think its called? ok well i dont wanna make it sound horrible but i just love the emgs and tremolo, but it sounds exatly the same as the Peavy PXD void II (or I), yeh so get the B.C RICH

hmmm, the epi in my opinion is better. but then again it does come down to ur preferances. the alexi esp wasent the best choice. when you break it down to what it real is, it's nothing special comaired to ur other 2 options

I dont think so. I think the quality is much better on an ESP Ltd 600 series than on a BC Rich Standard or an Epiphone.
I dont play a lot of songs with clean sound, tthats why the alexi 600 with the Seymour Duncan Blackout is perfect for me.
Now I have the guitar two weeks, I dont think that it was a bad choice compaired with the other two guitars,
Themethalmaster 2 years ago
just go to the shop and test some guitars

uuuhh yeah! Today is one of the best days in my fucking life. I have now an ESP Ltd Alexi 600. The sound is amazing, clean is not so good, but the distortion is so fucking amazing. And the best thing: I get it for 888€. I really love my new baby, and im so happy with it.
So, I hope this video helps other people who is deciding between this two guitars, like I did.
If I had to decide between this two, I would choose the BC Rich.

It maybe sounds a bit strange, but today I had sent the guitar (RG 2550z) back to the shop. The guitar was not bad, but the edge zero, in my opinion, its the biggest shit I ever played.
Now im deciding between a BC Rich Kerry King V with Kahler and PA2, or the NJ Deluxe with Floyd Rose.
It was a mistake to buy the Ibanez, because it is not bad, but not perfect too.
So, which guitar do you recommend me, a Kerry King signature with preamp and Kahler, or an NJ Deluxe with Floyd Rose?
Themethalmaster 2 years ago
Get the Kerry V. Sound and playability is really good. Not from experience. But from what I heard. It also has a mean sound to it for metal songs

buddy go with the Kerry King suposidly sounds better, but make sure they come with EMG's

but thats my opinion
hockey172013 2 years ago
Hey!
Thnx to all people who helped me.
I finally decided to buy something different, a Ibanez RG 2550z. Why? Because I get it for 790€, the original price is something like 1095€. After reading a lot of reviews, I think that this guitar is a good choice, and I can be shure that the quality is good too. A lot of people says that the BC RIch quality sometimes is not so good as they say in their descriptions.
So, an Ibanez Prestige for 790 bucks, I think its OK,
Thnx to all!!

If it were me I would get the Apparition. I like the shape better, plus it has the killswitch on it, and the scythes on the fretboard look kick-ass.

where is the bc rich made? if hey're both chinese i'd go with marcus...
sonatadragonofbodom 2 years ago
I Think the BC is made in China. Why do you prefer the markus guitar? (Shape, features...?)
Themethalmaster 2 years ago
well, they're almost the same guitar, both have EMG's and Asian OFR, 24 frets, but I dunno how thick is the fingerboard, but I already know Marcus' is really nice for tapping, IMO you should get an Ibanez RGR1570, 699 dlls and Edge Pro Tremolo (Is not crap like Edge III, almost as nice as OFR) with shredders neck but If of those 2 the marcus would be the closest to Ibanez, anyways Bc Rich made a good one with that V....
sonatadragonofbodom 2 years ago
i say BC Rich NJ Jrv Deluxe
Because Epiphone are CHINESE
(i have an epiphone Les Paul and the sound isn't so good as i know)

stacato 2 years ago
well I hope your a metal head cuz if not your fucked, but in my opinion their both good but personally a prefer the X shape so i would go with the epiphone and im not a big fan of the V shape, so go for the Epiphone cuz persanally think their a more realiable guitar.

I would go for the apparition...in terms of hardware,both are nearly the same. The apparition has more "stage presence" imho.

geez kinda tough, both very similar. it might come down to looks. in that case i'd go for epiphone. im partial to ibanez as far as playability :)

Go with the Epiphone...for sure.
BC Rich sound...from my expierence is really flat and boring.

Can anybody tell me what does the kill button do?
stanfie1d 2 years ago
a kill button is nothing more than a switch that cuts the sound when you you hit strings. The best exemple for this sound is Jordan, from Buckethead. Listen to the intro of this song.
PS: You could find the song in my favorites
