Draco

I managed to have a moment with the BC Rich Draco a few days ago at Davis GMC, it's not a costly instrument listing for $850.

The beveled body edges there (according to the manufacturer, it's the outline of dragon wings), actually helped the instrument's placement on the player's lap should it be employed to be played as such. However, it's not a definite solution to playing a guitar of this derivative V outline. It didn't promote balance either so you thought playing a Gibson SG sitting down was repulsive. The in-house pickups here were conceived for distortion work more than anything else. Feel-wise, the neck profile is nothing too different from my other BC Rich, the Beast Jr; very rounded & possesses enough grip to exclude it from being a shred guitar primarily.

i think too much going on at the headstock and too little wood at the body lol

if there is a need to blame the headstock, it should have been done years ago. but i like the headstock, perfect complement for the body :-)

But i find the headstock abit big for the body...maybe they should have made the body bigger lol

it's a little over-sized, i agree :-) this is the Beast headstock, if they choose the regular Widow headstock, it'll be smaller.
