BC Rich

[Cooperman]

Has anyone got/played/heard/seen any American BC Rich guitars that have been produced in the last few years. As far as I can gather they used to make extremely well made guitars back in the 80's but went down hill when in the early nineties the company got bought out - but when Bernie Rico got control of the company again a few years ago, the quality returned. Any thoughts?

Yeah Coop, My stage axe in the 80's was a BC Rich and that thing took the pounding on being on the road and Never once let me down.
I sold it a little while back and played an Assassin in a local music store recently. It retailed for somewhere in the $1300.00 range and I felt like it was way over priced. A decent guitar but I didn't feel it was any better than my Kramer Baretta(Gibson built)that I picked up a few months ago. And this is from a big BC Rich fan.
