Neck-thru, bound neck, decent bridge pickup. Licensed Floyd but who gives a shit. Definitely worth $600 :tup:

I prefer a fixed bridge but Floyds aren't THAT bad and can be worked with. I wouldn't trust some faggot at some shop to set my action up though; feel is way too subjective.

I think bigsby trems are way worse than floyd roses.

i mainly hate floyd rose because i strip the allens the first time i use them and forever after its a pain in the dick. if they were made of better metal, it might notbe so bad

Striping the key or the bolt?
If your stipping the bolt you're cranking on it harder than you have to. The bolt just have to be snug.

And if it's the key that you stripped, you can always buy another one at a hardware store or you can find singles at the music store.

so youve never stripped those bolts on the bridge? do you change the strings more than once a month??

Your choice has gone horribly wrong. The BC Rich Beast is a piece of shit.

that's not a beast. it looks like a hybrid of a warlock and a beast. call it a bock, or a weast.

I think its a solid deal and the hardware is good for the money... A NJ warlock was the best guitar ive ever played and ive tried a bunch of signature series, so I imagine this will play the same.

I can safely say I have posted better stuff, and I can assure you that you picked the wrong guitar out of the two.

Yeah but im not working with your budget. That is not the original dime slime, its a re-release with inferior hardware and construction.

The original washburn 333's had inferior hardware and construction. You wouldn't have gotten something much different.

i got a washburn dime from music123 about 7 years ago and it cost me £120 - about $200 at the time. apart from the fact it looks utterly ridiculous, it's the best sounding guitar i have for rock / metal and the neck is awesome. i bought an '84 gibson explorer a year or so later for £500 and it was money wasted. i learned my lesson, though. play everything before you buy it because price doesn't mean shit.

I like that, has like a semi hollow archtop look to it. Is it comfortable to sit down with?
How much you pay for it?
