Hmmmm.... Of course the best thing is to actually try the guitar before you buy it. If you play on (for example) a BC Rich Warlock and a Epiphone Les Paul, and you think the Warlock plays better (HA! Now that's funnydepends what you feel more comfortable playing. maybe the warlock dosn't suit your style or what you want to play. I don't see how you can call someone 'extremely stupid', if someone wants a LP because it reminds them of their favourite artist and inspires them to play then there is a lot to say for that.) but you like the LP more because Jimmy Page plays on, I think it's extremely stupid to go for the LP. But then again, it'll be your problem, not mine.
I was just wondering what the guitars were like, and thought that this was the right place to ask. Saying that, I don't think its dumb to buy a guitar for that reason-whatever inspires you to play cannot be a bad thing. Sure you have a point about trying what make/type suits you best, but there is a lot to be said for just going for itAbout BC RICH mockingbirds, they play really well, especially the higher end models. If your willing to pay a bit over 500€, you'll get a great guitar with superior parts.
(I have experiance playing them)
I dunno... The time I played one I wasn't really impressed. I think a cheap Epiphone SG (let's say one you can buy for 200 bucks) plays a LOT better than a high end BC Rich Mockigbird. Hard to describe why... I think they play easier.
And by the way: buying a guitar for the way it looks (or who also played on that particular model) is probably one of the dumbest things you can do. I love the way Jackson RRs look, but the one I played on once (and that was a VERY good one, around the 700 euro price range) played pretty much the same as my old cheapo Ibanez guitar.
Oi, thats what my brothers got - what a coincidence LOL ROFL LMAOQuote from: BabakOh, which model do you own?
Its a clear perspex (spelling?) one, its pretty nice but weighs ridiculous amounts...
By the way: hide also played B.C. Rich, but you're right, Hurley, he has preferred Fernandes.
Two of his 42 guitars were B.C. Rich models:
B.C. Rich Warlock that he has used during his amateur time and B.C. Mocking Bird (also known as Amoeba) that is one of my favourite guitars of hide.

The Bronze series was the one I was offered (cheap) but I already have a Gibson Les Paul for serious playing - just though a BC rich would be fun, as Les Pauls are quite difficult to handle, especially playing hide's parts in X songs.
Ok, well just make sure you try the guitar before buying it, if possible
Sure! Do you own a Fernandes then? My brother has the clear perspex version
Nope, I have two Les Pauls /

The .co.uk site will open soon, I've heard.
Btw, hide did commite suicide, if it was intentional or accidental is another point, but he killed himself.
