Feature:
i love the seperate volume pots for each pickup. the looks and attitude are amazing, and th playability is astonishing.

Quality:
amazing quality for its price

Value:
this package is a steal

Desirability:
one word- amazing

Sound:
the kkv is amazing. i love this guitars mean personality, playability, and price. i own a fender telecaster, a hamer californian cxt, two acoustics, and a esp ec1000vb, which cost almost 4 times as much, yet my kkv is still my guitar of choice. the neck is extremly comfortable, and the guitar feels like an extension of my body. this only makes me wonder how awesome the $900 version is.

Ease of Use:
feels like and extension of my body

Support:
i have never had to contact the as i have never had a problem with the guitar

Overall:
like i said i won a esp ec100vb, but my kkv is still my guitar of choice

Feature:
I like what I had to work with on it. Not many V's have too many options, so I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered I can actually mess around with the pickups.

Quality:
Kerry knows what he's doing with his guitars. I haven't had a problem with it yet and I've had it for a long time now.

Value:
For what you pay, you get a friggin' sweet deal. I bought a Jackson King V and it's not as good, not by a mile.

Desirability:
This thing looks like it came straight from hell. It's the most beautiful guitar I've ever laid my hands on.

Sound:
It plays better and sounds better than its $1,286.00 predecessor.

Ease of Use:
The neck is just as nice as the original, since they're made from the same wood. Easy to tune, too.

Support:
BC Rich has never let me down.

Overall:
Why keep asking questions? You know you want it, so just go get your money and buy it.

Feature:
It's a V, what do you want? The sound it makes is sick, and you can adjust it to sound like an old song from the Scorpions or to a high-intensity song from a band like Slipknot (it can make an excellent cover for the guitar solo in Pulse of the Maggots.)

Quality:
It's a BC Rich, so I expected it to come with a broken part or two, but it came flawless. The headstock is nice, and the paint's not cracked or breaking. I've been using it a lot lately, and it held up.

Value:
Compared to the other V that BCR sells, it's better. I'd pay more to buy another one if I had to.

Desirability:
It's NICE. I find I get a better audience appeal when I use it.

Sound:
I own this version of the guitar and the expensive one with the decorated headstock from BC Rich. This one has worked better and I've had it for longer than the other.

Ease of Use:
Like I said, it's a V. It's easy to tune, easy to play, and easy on the back.

Support:
BCR has a great support group. I buy mostly BC Rich guitars for that reason. I've dealt with them a couple of times before.

Overall:
There's a couple of quirks that $20 can fix, but overall, you can keep it for years.

Quality:
its made extremely well and it looks awsome...

Value:
It is about the price i ould pay for it already.

Desirability:
I wanted it so badley and i got it and now i love it.

Sound:
Its cruch is awsome and it delivers a huge punch.

Ease of Use:
It is an extremely playable instrument and you have to know what your doing (for all guitars) to suit your sound.

Support:
BC RICH listen to all your prolems

Overall:
I will be satisfied for a long time...

Feature:
The accessories are pretty sik it comes with a gig bag, strap and picks oh and the head band thing. The feautres on the guitar are really good asewell.

Quality:
The quality is good way higher than standard but if your a guitarist who plays music beside metal and who hasnt had too much experiance then this isnt the guitar for you but if you love metal and especially love slayer and have had some experiance BUY IT NOW! There are no loose parts, not that ive found but this guitar is very VERY reliable you most certainly can depend on it, if you drop it, it wont be broken, its just as it looks a very meaty guitar and tanky guitar but its not at all heavy its light to what it looks. My guess it would last at least 5 years, its a very trustworthy guitar, i use it in gigs all the time and dont even keep a back-up guitar as i know it will fit the job all the way.

Value:
Definately worth its value should be more i think. This flying v is way better than your 600 dollar fender or your affordable jackson.

Desirability:
When i first saw it i wanted it, when i got it, i wanted it every second, the colour is really good, the tribal inlays are really sweet, holding this guitar makes me the god and play like the god!

Sound:
The sound is so awesome!!! Pure metal sound, its by far the best affordable flying v but even with it being affordable it still beats most guitars not affordable.B.C Rich make this guitar sound so meaty and metal that they could of sold it for maybe double the price i reckon.

Ease of Use:
Cant beat it. Perfect sounds, if your a metal, death metal, thrash metal guitarist, go for it you will be well satisfied, i reckomend to everyone out there to buy this guitar, its awesome!

Support:
I have dealt with B.C Rich and they have great support, they are very friendly but sometimes wont understand.

Overall:
If i were to buy another guitar it would be another KKV guitar, they are just perfect, fit the metal scene in every way!

Feature:
Not really anything special, I bought a coffin case with it so the gig bag didn't help me any. But the strap and picks were pretty cool. I wanted a sweat band... Not this damn head thing... But yea, overall I guess if I wouldn't have had the stuff already it would've been more exciting

Quality:
This guitar was in perfect condition when I got it... Like serious, it was great. I'd be proud to play this baby live. It's sexy too...

Value:
This guitar is worth so much more than what I paid, seriously. I've played MUCH more expensive guitars, and I'd rather own this one. Fender's 'affordable' guitars can't touch this baby.

Desirability:
It's effing beautiful guys... Seriously, you don't know til you've held one. It's so nice... If the output hole was a little bigger, you'd be tempted to make love to it. It's not just a practical addition to my setup, it is my setup. I sold my other guitar to get this, and it was worth it. Even if my only back up is an OOOOLD thang.

Sound:
Well, the pickups are kind of *pfft* but BC Rich pickups tend to suck, so thats ok. But this guitar still sounds great after a few adjustments (strings etc.), and it really fits my style. I play alot of Metal, mostly simple thrash metal stuff, but I can shred, and this guitar is definatly a help, I've never owned a 24 fret guitar before this on, and I must say I was impressed. The only time I had any trouble was when I was too close to someone elses amp, I got a little buzz but nothing unusual, it's actually less then with my other guitars.

Support:
Yea, the guys at BC Rich are awesome, if you ever get to talk to them, they're really cool guys.

Overall:
You don't know how good a guitar it is, until you play it. It's that simple, don't think about the fact that it's a budget guitar, cuz that doesn't matter. It's about the quality

Feature:
VERY GOOD. it comes with a gig bag(not the greatest, invest in a hard cover case) picks(of course) strap(w00t it looks awesome with the guitar) cord (not that great of quality i'd buy another cord prolly a 20 footer would work nicley) and of course the poster and headsweat(which are a sweet add to the mix. All and all i think the features are great. And by the way metal guitarist dont usally use a trem bridge so why are noobies crying that it dosent have? lolz

Quality:
CAUTION: BE CARFUL WITH THIS GUITAR IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS BUILT LIKE A TANK BUT THE ENDS ARE PRETTY FRAGILE AND COULD BRAKE. this guitar can take alot of abuse but don't get carried away. be cautios running and jumping off your couch with this guitar. But hey the quality overall is very good it looks like it could take alot of abuse for live shows and that. I still kinda think this guitar is pretty much for the looks and sound rather then the ruuggedness.

Value:
10 10 10 10 10 For what you are getting that's a hell of a price. 300 us and 430 canadian that's amazing compared to what you would be paying for something like a gibson or fender.

Desirability:
Look at the god dam guitar. ITS BEAUTIFUL IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED.

Sound:
METAL METAL METAL METAL METAL METALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SOUNDS SO F*ING GREAT ON THIS GUITAR. the sound is so sharp and crisp. And the tribal graphic and headstock and dont forget the color totaly add to it.

Support:
Never had to deal with bc rich before but i have heard from alot of people that they have very good survice. So if you have a problem with your guitar i wouldn't hesitate to call.

Overall:
The only thing i have to say is don't get this guitar for your first guitar no matter how awesome it looks. start with a more rounder gutar then move up to the big leagues. THIS GUITAR IS NOT FOR FIRST TIME GUITARIST experienced guitar players only. (sorry people but it's the truth) Do you know how it is to try play jungle bells on the thing?
