If you go to BC Rich's website, they have a "Handcrafted" button to the top left. If you click that it'll take you through the options on how to get a custom guitar built. I've never done it myself, but they do incredible work as you can see.
For starters, tone controls are generally worthless. Their main job is to muffle and suck tone from your pickups. With two volumes, you can blend the two together and really get some nice sounds. Unless it's a very special expensive guitar, I will always do this mod. Just make sure you change the circuit as well! If you just swap the tone pot for a volume pot it won't work. Download a schematic for your config (2hums, 2vol) and change it over. Especially if your playing metal!
if you have tone on max all the time, you may benefit from taking it out. if you ever use the tone control, theres no real problem. one dude replied its only for sucking tone from the pups, this is not true. it cuts treble out of your pickup signal. it has its uses for those who use it.
i like my Jackson but i don't like string threw body coz i love the wammy bar and lock in nut that come with sum of them so u can have sum fun and make sum good sounds
I always hated the way B.C Rich guitars looked, so I didn't play one for the longest time. Then I went to guitar center and found a v shape like Matt's and I tried it out. It was the smoothest, fastest, most comfortable and well made guitar I had ever picked up before. I've played on Gibson customs, Dean, ibanez, all high end. None of them compared to that stupid B.C guitar, and it wasn't even all that expensive.
Man, I hate how his personal guitars look so sick, but the factory models have that terrible trans purple finish. I get the copper and grey ones, being one-off models just for him; but come one BC, at least give us that black one!!!
Jacksons are definitely better but he left because all of his custom made guitars were going out of tune after every song. His didn't have a tremolo of any sort so there was poor craftsmanship somewhere unfortunately.
I've never been a BC Rich fan but those are some bad-ass guitars. Very nice.

YES! Although I loved his Jacksons most !
im a massive bullet fan and i think this is the first gear review matt did himself, pretty cool lol
hope we got some padge comming up TK!
One of the best videos of this sort I have ever seen. Great job Tone King!!!
Proud owner of Matt's signature Jackson I love that guitar so much!!
Which one, the white and reverse headstock? Do a video on it!
"If you don't like naughty words, look away"_Matt tuck hahahahaha hilarious dude

The shortest signature run of a guitar lol That copper guitar is sick af!!!!!!!
Where is the reversed headstock!? That's what i miss. :/
Passion man, passion!
I like how he says "Guitaw"
Omg you met Matt tuck!? How did you get to interview his gear?
Yeah I keep supporting that band
Too F***in sweet bro!
nice set of guitars
Awesome scoop, TK! \m/
And other bands that I love !!
I don't really like that headstock on a v, I think the pointed down Jackson style one looks so much better
I wanna buy his Main BC Rich Signature V guitar! Fucking love it
just saw them live in Fort Wayne

I saw them in Sept and all he played was Gibson V's.
+Tom Flake this was for his previous tour
And?
Jaden Quintana he should go back to Jackson it doesn’t get better than that (imo)

I see Diezel and Mesa there in the back but no Peavey. Did Matt leave them?
i will try it with my emg 85 bridge and 81 neck im trying a new combo for me xD
i like my Jackson but i don't like string threw body coz i love the wammy bar and lock in nut that come with sum of them so u can have sum fun and make sum good sounds
does it have a big impact? im thinking in doing something like that
Custom guitar especially for Dwayne Johnson "I'm I don't give a fucker...".
When did he stop using Jackson RR's?
He switched to BC Rich back in 2011
Apparently their Jackson's kept detuning in a show, so they switched a few years ago
Frankie Hiltz Oh wow, yeah that sucks... weird though, considering his jacksons were fitted with floyd rose systems.
Yea I know, I don't know how that happened .-. I personally prefer jackson's over BC Rich, but that's just me I guess :b
Airtrooper719 XBL nope, his jacksons were string through body, tunomatic bridge without the tailpiece
sorry to bother but i like to fix guitars and work with electronics and i want to know why to volumes? how is it slipted and what does it do?

Why?? So that you can set the volume for each pickup and when you switch back and forth its there......
1 volume for each pickup!
i see matt went to diezel amps
I don't give a fuck about guitar and hair. He just has to play guitar and sing perfectly. And you know what? That's what he does. BFMV for ever!
new hair cut
yeah i know thta but why?
Man, I hate how his personal guitars look so sick, but the factory models have that terrible trans purple finish. I get the copper and grey ones, being one-off models just for him; but come one BC, at least give us that black one!!!
i know! i would love one, but i cant stand the finish
Still better than his Gibson
I wish he stayed with Jackson, but these guitars are sexy
lol now he's with gibson.
Long hair / Jackson guitars
MUCH BETTER
But I think we can all agree he needs to get rid of the poser sunglasses
I miss his hair
Who cares now. The thing got smashed xD he actually gave away the smashed Jackson, saw it on Twitter a few days ago
lmsjr you do realise bc rich have put the videos to share on there facebook page
why did he cut the hair? man kinda bummed
Them
His Jackson went out of tune multiple times when he was playing at download 2010.
Jacksons are definitely better but he left because all of his custom made guitars were going out of tune after every song. His didn't have a tremolo of any sort so there was poor craftsmanship somewhere unfortunately.
That sucks! I actually like his bc rich guitars more than I do all jacksons. But I hate ALL normal bc rich guitars.
How did you get that info? Did he say this in any of his interviews? I am just asking! :)
dude, calm down.. i'm just giving my personal opinion.
Love BFMV!
