Let me know what you people think about Stealth's in general concerning:

comfort (practical)?
performance?
durability?
cost (bang for the buck)?
coolness factor?
anything else???

Has anyone played one?

I've been playing guitar (about 8 months now) and I've started to acquire some skills necessary to start playing metal. Death is one of my favourite bands and has influenced me quite a bit. I frequent the "Empty Words" memorial website fairly often and it says that Chuck has only used Stealth's.

hell yeah i'd play it, amereican made bc rich withthe R on the headstock! just do a little pick up change 85/85 EMG's...... 85's are so underated.i believe that the 85 has better distortion that the 81 and the clean is great, mellow, not too trebely..
a nice full sound too... and then i would proceed to sneak off with the axe and if it doesnt reach my standards. i'll sell it on ebay for alot of loot (AHAHAHAHHAH)(canned evil laughter)

Well, it's a pretty hefty read. I will read the bio soon. That is a cooool looking
guitar! Gonna be part of my wall paper.
It looks like it's got a Floyd Rose, right? Aren't they terrible to keep in tune?

Also, I can't find the specs for the Stealth. I've been to the BC Rich website
but it doesn't give measurements (like nut width etc.)

i think its cause they stoped making them im not 100% sure on this but if they did not then they definitally dont make them as much as the other guitar models. plus i dont think its a very popular modl but i love them, most people probably figuer they could get a cheaper jackson warrior that looks alot a liek but pointer.....btw if anyone cares i found that stealth at ed roman he also has another one but it looks so fucking gay

Yeah, I've seen that exotic looking paint job. Hey Jean-Luc Picard, we are going
through the guitar sector at impulse power. We are picking up readings. It
seems that a Stealth is hailing us. "On Screen" Terrible startrek piece.

I suppose their not in demand and that results in a very hefty price. I'm going
to contact the BC Rich website and ask them for some info. I'll let you know
what the details are, if they email me back.

I've read the bio piece of Death. Y'know, Chuck's career is very difficult to
follow. He's been through so many band members. I remember when I was
in highschool and the only thing I could say about Death was that it was a one
man band. I couldn't keep track of anybody.

Chuck's showmanship was fairly poor on stage. I've seen a couple of bootleg
concert videos and he doesn't have much flair. One thing about him though is
that he is all business on stage. All business.

cool i would like the specs but abotu chuck onstage although he didnt headbang much or move around he played the songs almost perfect(well on the live in LA dvd anyway) and yeah they had almost new players evry album which kinda sucks but they still came out good. one of they guys that was in death i think the guitar player for iether leprosy or individual thought patterens just has the same kinda tumer that chuck had last year i think, and i wanna say he played on a testament album too but im not sure. hell i cant even remember his name

Actually, I'm getting very close to ordering both of his Live releases from
Nuclearblast Records. I don't know what the shipping cost will be but I
have a hard time on their website. It's half German!

Are the two live videos (DVD's) up close and personal? Can you see Chuck's
hands and what he's playing (fingering)?

the live in la one you can they get shots of the whole band but there is shots of just his hands doing there magic and of the corwd ect
