after hours and hours of research, I'm going to pass. if you follow the past sales on reverb, they have sold, in great shape with the case, under $300. It appears that the value is dropping on them and they are a hard sell. its a niche market to sell to. I have many gibson Les Pauls / Strat / tele. I thought it might be fun to play with but if I hate it a few days later, im going to be hard pressed to get what I paid for it back. she is selling off an estate so there's no way to test it unless I tote an amp with me. there no way to know if the electronics work if I don't take an amp. it has the PIA 1000 Floyd Rose on it . it would be better if it were a hard tail. I also read a lot of stuff about hit or miss QC. all that said, I don't think its a wise investment. BUT, I certainly appreciate your input. And I thank you for that...

thanks for your help.

I've never owned anything with a Floyd Rose and from what im reading they can be a huge pain in the ass.

wish it was a hardtail mockingbird. apparently the hardballs are few and far between.

Thanks for the response. someone hooked me up with this review from 2008 but im not convinced its the same axe

They want $350 for it with the hard case.

I don't see the whammy bar in the pics that they sent me.

I don't know if its just a standard one or something specific to bc rich

Im really a Les Paul / Strat / tele guy but this looks like it might be fun to mess with

im going to look at this bc rich tomorrow and I have ZERO knowledge of these guitars.
I have no idea how to figure out when it was made or decode the serial number.
I have no idea what a fair price on it is either.
So I thought id ask the bc rich guys here for help
Thanks in advance for your help
