BC Rich Beast or Jackson KVX10 - Which one is a better buy?

[blackendvampire]

The best bet for the price isnt any of these. For absolute playability the guitar to get for the 500 dollar range is and ESP M 200 fm or MH 250. Though they are a standard strat shape, they are easily obtainable for under 500 bucks. They have all the features of a USA soloist 2h including neckthru construction.
I have an MH 250, and it keeps up with my RR24 great, its the perfect backup if you dont want to hurt a nice guitar. But if you want a V or somthing, dont bother with a 500 dollar bolt on. The BC rich JR V neck thru is the next one to look at. After that, neckthru KV2's on Ebay can be found for 1000 or so. Other than that, every bolt on I have ever played is almost the same tone wise, sure the neck might be a slightly different feel, but the tone of the strings does not transfer to the body properly. I am very anti bolt on. I dont own a single bolt on anymore, and never will. Neckthru or Set neck. I love my two Les Pauls as well.

BTW, The beast is disgusting looking, V for life.

I think I'll be happy with the king v... I prefer set necks too, just wish i could afford it.....hell I haven't even bought a case for the king v...hopefully i'll have some money for the case when the guitar finally arrives....

oh and i could not stand strat shaped guitars...i just think they look dull and boring..but that's just me....

I'll put up ANY of my USA bolt-on Jacksons against any neck thru or set neck guitar.You can argue all day long which is better but the only difference I can hear is a neck thru is a little mellower tone wise.
I have PRS,Gibson,Fender,Jackson USA /import.I have quite a few to chose from so I'm not talking out of my ass.
My two absolute best are bolt-on Jacksons one USA (87) and one import(93).
These two are the most alive,resonant in your face guitars I've ever had.Thats why they heve been with me for a long time.
I have had literally hundreds of guitars in the last ten years(thats no B.S.) and these two top them all.
