Members peavey_impact Posted April 30, 2006 Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 I've had mine since they first went on sale last year. Fucking awesome guitar! It is made in china, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JiroJan Posted April 30, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 do the tuners and pups need to be switched out? whats the neck like? painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AunShui Posted April 30, 2006 Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 I played one for a few minutes about a year ago at a guitar center in NYC. I wasn't very impressed; the neck wasn't to my liking, the frets were a bit sharp, and it had the stereotypical GC rusty strings/bad setup. I'm sure there is considerable variance between these, so i would have to play more to get a real opinion, but i just don't dig it all that much anyway.

Members curseoftruth Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 I played one last year as well, played pretty nice and sounded okay as well. I just couldn't get past the knives as being REALLY gimmicky, give me regular f-holes and I would consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members curseoftruth Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 If I was in my 20s, I'd probably be all over it. But a guitar with knives in it doesn't suit a 40 year old guy well. I know, I know -- its all about the playing and the tone. But I also don't want to look like a dick on stage, I already look stupid enough as it is and don't need my guitar to perpetuate that image any more.

I don't like the daggers either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was done with the stock BDSM pickups. They are actually GREAT for clean tones or mild distortion. Under high gain they lost definition though so I changed mine for a Pearly Gates and an Alnico Pro II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xerostops Posted January 22, 2020 Members Share Posted January 22, 2020 I have just recently bought one yesterday, by luck of course since I didnt even know these existed. I was actually looking for an ironbird but regardless, stock pickups are only good for clean. I switched them out for emgs (81/85) but I just dont get why people like the daggers? I actually like them 😂. You don't see many differences on guitars besides pickups or bodies so I think that since it has the holes shaped like actual knives, it adds a bit of character. Better than any sword shaped guitar I've seen 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gavenp414 Posted February 2, 2022 Members Share Posted February 2, 2022 Have the option to purchase a red one for 250 in mint condition grew up playing BC Rich mostly on Mockingbird and feast and Virgo. Could I get some better insight on these Growing up I seen a few of them and always thought they were cool but never had the money or means to purchase one until the last few years and I haven’t been so lucky to find one until now.
