BC Rich use plywood in the lower end of their range. Nuf said. I'm just finishing a guitar for Chrisola. Swamp ash, maple, Floyd Rose and BKP's. You won't be able to buy anything like it unless you go to an independant Luthier.

The hand made BC Rich guitars are excellent. The NJ series aren't bad but not great either. Somehow they don't look quite right. But those hand made ones look gorgeous!

I put a set of BKP tele pups in a ply Squire.... I was suprised at how good it sounded!! Testament to BKPs though methinks!

+ 1 for that HJM. BKP's do rule. Wouoldnt it be nice if big companies realised y they were making guitars? oh well, it looks like the independant luthiers' days are soon to come. Very lucrative, mite get a hand in there,

lol

Joe, 'don't know about lucrative; I met a friend who makes amazing concert guitars at a timber suppliers recently. I asked him how he was doing, his reply was "you know how it is; I'm poor but I'm happy"
