Kerry King’s Ugly-Ass Signature BC Rich
January 8, 2009 by Scott
I’ve liked BC Rich guitars for a long time. Most of them have a cool shape and some of them sound good. Uncomfortable at best though. I’ve had a Mockingbird and a Beast. The mockingbird was comfortable to play but was unbalanced as any BC Rich guitar is. The Beast was extremely uncomfortable to play. Lately it seems like they’ve been fighting for cool shapes. The Warbeast was ok and the Virgo wasn’t too bad either. The Zombie was ugly and Kerry King’s new signature model that fuses a Beast and a KKV together looks horrible. Appropriately it’s call the Beast V. There is also a pic of a silver one with a Floyd Rose after the jump. I don’t think you could ever out-design a Dean Razorback, even if it is just an updated version of the ML.

In the name of all that is metal, that is just a disgrace. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BC RICH!!!!!!!!!!
it just looks really strange with the sleak curves up front and then the straight lines of the v in the back. Dean Zelinsky’s new line is looking really nice. I’ll have something up on that later.
The coolest guitar ever in rock n’ roll/ metal is Jimmy Page Signature EDS-1275. Agree, huh?
this is probably one of the better looking guitars i’ve seen from BC RICH. you’re fucking nuts!
The great thing about most BC Rich guitars is the way the sharp, straight lines mix delicately with the curves. This one looks more like a toy. The Warbeast (Warlock and beast) worked well, but this one is almost as ugly as their widowmaker.
Think it would be good just to collect and haing on the wall like a piese of furniture
