Hughes Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 hey, i seen this bc rich ironbird platinum series on ebay and i really like it, im just wondering what you oppinions are on it http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...7331321690&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 my experience with the platinum series has been very bad...awful workmanship and zero quality control...i expected much nicer for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoctor Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 You just reminded me of the other guitar I wanted to include in that "worst guitar" thread that was started a day or two ago. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 You just reminded me of the other guitar I wanted to include in that "worst guitar" thread that was started a day or two ago. Thank you! ← i deleted that thread.this forum has a specific policy against trashing entire brands of guitars.ifr you have a guitar you don't like and want to give an opinion,that's fine,but saying "bc rich,samick,ibanez,and prs are the worst guitars ever" is inflammatory and is also generalizing in the worst sense...not to mention most people don't even have a reason for not liking a certain brand of guitar.

Hughes Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 lol i guess i should of said im a beginner...ilove bc riches because their original, so would it be good for a beginner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepultura999 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 it'd prolly be a nice project guitar. you could get it, look it over, ask more experienced luthiers and/or guitar players and find out what needs a fixin and fix it up!

!!METAL MATT!! Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Well How much are you looking to spend? I've seen Some Nice NJ series Rich's on ebay! Hear man You should get This, Not because It's Better But because It's cool As he11 http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...7331227116&rd=1 It's Siting At $165.00 Now and 17 hours 52 mins !!METAL MATT!!

westhemann Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 nj series also has poor quality control.if you buy one of those you REALLY need to look it over well.i like them myself,but do not buy sight unseen...and check the neck pocket for a tight fit...or buy a neck thru. bc rich had a nice warlock neck thru out for about $600 at one time http://www.onlinestagegear.com/brand/BC-Ri...assic/Bich.html http://www.onlinestagegear.com/brand/BC-Ri...ockingbird.html http://store.yahoo.com/acemusicsuperstore/1019.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughes Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) haha oh man, i wish i could spend a good amount of money on a beginning guitar, especially an NJ Classic, my buddy bought a bronze mockingbird, although its a bronze, it punches out some wild stuff and i thought it was a pretty sweet guitar especially for the price, not to mention its good not to follow the crowd and buy a fender as for the acyllic series warlock, it is sweet, but that would be a toughy to win since theres like 24 bids on so those people are hungry for it oh and i think i would (in the near future) stick either a widow/beast headstock style neck on it and put some emg's of some sort in, but right now im on a budget and dont need a top of the line guitar Edited June 25, 2005 by Hughes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughes Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) since we're on the bc rich topic, i want to ask, what i up with this mockingbird i havent seen a bronze like this...is it older style? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=rvi:1:1v_home also, look at this platinum bich, the price wows me, if you americans would ship to canada more often i could make some money off that http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=rvi:1:2v_home im also wondering why they wont ship to canada, doesnt the buyer pay???

borge Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 i thought it was a pretty sweet guitar especially for the price, good not to follow the crowd and buy a fender ← thats sorta what i thought when i bought my first guitar (platinum warlock) little did i know about the shocking build quality and i mean shocking it was and still is the worst built guitar ive ever seen/played i was still the envy of the town. but now every man and his dog has a bc (all bronze and platinum) well at least now we can talk about all the problems they have together but then again i paid (dont laugh too hard) $900nzd (450usd at the time) for mine but still, knowing what i know now i wouldnt even look at anything below an NJ even then it would have to be pretty spectacular/cheap to chatch my eye. maybe i live in a really metal town or something but i can think of at least 10 people with a bc but only 1 with a fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughes Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) haha your lucky then, where ever i live everyone buys a fender squier/peavy raptor and thinks their pro haha their guitars always end up on their dressers for people to see how big of posers and follower they are, they think their all cool becasue they can play like smoke on the water, but i love bc riches, always will to, i was hoping to get that nj series but that doesnt look to promising ok in your oppinion, if i went out and bought a nj series bc rich wouldnt that be kinda overwhelming to see a beginner with one, like would you think i was just posing and trying to be cool lol.

Hughes Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 when i lived in my old town, when ever i went to my friends house we would play his guitars for hours, that was almost everyday for a year, then i moved and ive been fiddling with some cheap crappy acoustic (which i dont even know very much acoustic songs) and ive been wanting to buy a bronze mockingbird from a local guitar store. but then if i buy it from their it will still be $290 when i could proably get a nice new one of ebay and pay like only $100 more. so i would be sitting in my room for hours playing since im quite new here to my city and dont have alot of people to hang out with so yeah.
