I have sold many guitars and basses on ebay and never had one returned. Product is described as best as can be with visual, play-ability and sound. If product is damaged during shipping, you must abide by USPS, UPS and Fedex procedures before refund is given. If you have any questions, please ask before purchasing, Thanks!!!
Beveled Top: Most of B.C. Rich body styles employ a beveled edge around the shape. In many ways bevels on a top are similar to facets on a cut stone. They catch the light and reflect at different angles giving the instrument more of a three-dimensional look. Some of the B.C. Rich top bevels are extreme and wide while others are subtle and narrow. Occasionally the shape of the instrument is accented by painting the bevels a contrasting color.
Neck-Through Construction: B.C. Rich is known as one of the pioneers in Neck Through construction. They utilize it on many of their guitars, because it provides the best possible sustain, resonance, comfort and access to higher frets. Neck-through has long been considered the premium construction method for high end guitars.
This construction starts with premium North American maple or Mahogany and runs from the tip of the headstock to the end of the guitar. This means that the headstock, fingerboard, pickups and bridge all are mounted to this single sound foundation. Sonically it is a difference you can hear.
The neck-through construction also allows us to cut away more of the body and neck at the neck joint which provides comfort that no bolt-on or set-neck could offer. You will find the neck through feature on all of our top-of-the-line B.C. Rich models.
Bridge Pickups
The use of a ceramic magnet gives any pickup extra power due to the increased magnetic field that they provide. This feature makes the Mafia pickups produce a hotter and thicker tone that's really aggressive and full. The increased low end and thick mids and in your face highs is what rock and roll was built on! Balanced and full of sustain this pickup is a great representation of its namesake, a truly intimidating killer.
Neck Pickups
To make sure the neck version of the Mafia pickup was just as full sounding as the bridge position and to do this without taking away from what has already been accomplished, very minor modifications have been made to the overall design and design concept of this pickup. The Mafia neck pickup has that punchy bold tone with the same aggressive characteristics as the bridge version. A tad brighter with a little less output really takes this pickup into the smooth and warm realm of the tonal spectrum. All while maintaining that balanced bite and "in your face" aggressive tone that the Mafia is known for!

I had only one bad experience with insurance. The buyer wouldn't comply, and UPS almost didn't payout because he did not follow instructions and let the driver pick up guitar from home. Instead, buyer brought it to the hub and then told UPS he wanted it back when they finished their investigation. He tried to double dip, get refund AND guitar.
