"The best guitar I've ever owned, and a most incredible value!"

Feature:
Where it counts, they did not scrimp on quality. The wood, finish, stiffness, binding, frets, playability are first rate. Where they cut cost was on the hardware, which is easily upgraded to best quality, for very little incremental cost.

Quality:
Everything about this guitar is flawless, however, I did have the luxury of hand picking the one I wanted. The store had about 7 or 8 of them in stock and on display, so I looked every one of them over, played them all, and then selected the best of the group. None were bad, and all played very similar, but there was a fair variation in wood grain patterns and color/tonality. I just picked the one that had the grain/color/tonality that I liked best. The neck is straight as an arrow, flat, with no bows or warps. It feels absolutely solid, the tuners are very smooth with absolutely no freeplay. The pickups are top notch. If anything can be considered cheap, it's probably the switches, jacks and, volume/tone potentiameters. I replaced the all with best quality, which was a very minimal investment. The only minor initial quality issue was that the Fret edges were a little rough cut, and needed some dressing with a file, which is typical of many guitars.

Value:
This guitar plays better, and stays in tune better, than my '79 Les Paul Custom, and cost less than a quarter!

Desirability:
The BC Rich Bich Supreme was always my "Dream Guitar" right from the first time I saw it, back in the '70's. Now I own the very near equivalent, for a mere fraction of the cost.

Sound:
Excellent, Very Bright (Bridge Pickup) to a nice Warm Mello (Rythm pickup). Wide range of tonal variation.

Ease of Use:
This guitars plays as well as the best I ever played, even guitars costing thousands more. Honest!

Support:
Never have needed to.

Overall:
I am absolute thrilled with this guitar. I will likely never part from it, except maybe if I decide to drop the cash one day on a totally custom, hand made US Supreme, at likely 10 times the cost.
