Guitar Shopping with LITA FORD on Metal Injection

[@anthonylove821]

She’s so down to earth and beautiful …she doesn’t have that Los Angeles rock star ego….always loved her since the 80s…she will always be the heavy metal goddess in my eyes

[@io3010]

Saw her in concert in 1983 or 84, she opened for Ratt! She was amazing and have been a huge fan ever since! You rock Lita!!

[@scottyd2262]

I loved that she played a Gibson Explorer for a while there back in the Runaways

[@robinmorris5416]

It was actually a Hamer copy of an Explorer, but still, it was a great guitar and probably better than anything Gibson was putting out in the mid 70s. I think she had 2 of them that Hamer made for her, and they were killing it then. They also made guitars for Ric Nielson of Cheap Trick, and Jack Blades of night ranger. Incidentally, the Explorer that Nielson used was a Korina body, copy of his 58 Gibson.

My first real guitar was a 76 Gibson SG as well got it used and it was strung up for lefty. 2 pickups and a Bigsby mine was brown and paid around $275.00 when all was said and done. It was just a monster. Lita needs in my opinion, an agent/management that's doing more for her than whoever's handling her now. She desperately needs some endorsements and support from current artists. So much can be done with her if they invest the time.

[@loneponderer495]

+Aaron Harris It depends on the price level. I don't own a BC Rich myself but have tried a lot of them. If you get one of their cheap ones they are absolutely crap but once you get into the mid to upper price range they are made much better in fact they are made at a different factory then their low cost ones. Much of the hate that BC Rich gets is because a lot of people get their first super cheap guitar from them. Unfortunately BC Rich's super cheap guitars aren't very good even compared to beginner guitars from most other brands. They are basically use them for a year or two and through them away guitars.

[@ddelopkwapn5985]

I had a BC rich...it's in pieces now, but seriously they suck, the pickups are ok and the body just looks ridiculous and the neck finish fucks up your playing

[@cbond99]

+Black Death 1347 I think maybe he has never played a USA BC Rich or a good NJ series. Most of the BC guitars you see today are Korean junk. Back when Bernie Rico Jr. still oversaw the US production, they were amazing guitars. $2,000 for a good model, but very nice players.
