Ahhh BC Rich. Those guitars that were so expensive looking in the 90's and were absolute pieces of dog shit. From the looks to the sounds, you cannot mistake how terrible a BC Rich instrument truly is. I see Dean was mentioned! Let's throw Jackson in there too. God the 80's and 90's make me cringe now. lol

Interesting article here about the origins of B.C. Rich/Rico: https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/ ... Beginnings
The latter part would explain why the quality of the '90s guitars weren't good, seems everything apart from Custom Shop and '70s-mid '80s should be avoided.
I've never tried one, but totally wouldn't mind having something like an early Mockingbird in a natural finish. Think they may have been some of the first guitars that really caught my eye as a kid though, as an avid reader of metal magazines at that time and thinking Blackie Lawless was edgy and cool, haha.
