Hey sparky, i went to my local guitar shop this afternoon, and i had a go on a couple of them guitars you fancy, the ones i tried was
#1, was the I T Beast, B C Rich, now i really liked this one, to tell you the truth I'm not into pointy guitars but this one played well, great sound from the humbuckers pick ups, full sound, yet you can get some nice clean sounds as well, the balance felt good, not quite sure of the unbound neck, but that could be because i almost always play bounded necks, for me about 8 out of ten,

The #2 that i got to try was the N J Classic Bitch, again it played OK, but i couldn't get any good vibes, or a good feel from this guitar,
Pick ups are the same but just didn't sound the same, couldn't get as good a clear/clean tone/sound on this guitar, and i found it very bright,
too bright for me liking, fret board was good on both, ebony, felt good, frets where polished OK,

IMO, the I T Beast was the winner for me, but like i said, thats me, others might like one of the others,

i really like the look of that Razorback 7 by Dean, i wouldn't mind trying that one out,

All i can say is all the best in your search for the guitar you want, and try and get to try out all of them, and make sure you get what you like and feels right for you, hope this help'd a bit.

on another note, i just went to the shop to say hello, and have a cup of coffee, but i ended up buying a strat Deluxe, usually i just cant get on with strats, (teles i like) but this one just spoke to me, and now it's here, sitting in the living room next to me ;D

Thanks for having a look cofi

Yeah i like the I T Beast also, i got to try the B C Rich out at the weekend, and i liked the Beast a lot, also liked the Warlock a lot
so far it's one of them two,
This weekend coming I'm going to try out the Razorback 7, and the Dean cowboy-from-hell, it a 200 mile trip and I'm going to take my amp with me, just in case they ain't got one,
I really like the look of the Razorback

thanks again cofi,

Well i went and tried the Dean guitars out, very nice, played great, sounded good, wish i had the money, i would have bought the Razorback 7 as well,
but i bought the I T Beast, B C Rich, in the end, it suited me better ,



I did like the Razorback 7, like i said if i had the money i would have bought both,
but I'm way happy with my Beast

i just cant stop playing the thing, we got band practice this week, cant wait to try it out with the band ;D

Nice one M8, i liked that guitar, played great, enjoy Bro
