Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

B.C. Rich's Assassin QX6 is fairly good guitar. Not a brilliant one, but Assassin QX6 will serve you until you decide it's time to go for a bit more expensive guitar. You will not go wrong if you go ahead with Assassin QX6.

B.C. Rich didn't go over the top with a set of features that make the Assassin QX6 what it is: a guitar that will do the job, but won't thrill you with its limited features. However, it won't let you down if you feel you can get along with what's provided. You can try and search for better solutions, but still, B.C. Rich's Assassin QX6 will deliver what you need in most situations.

Tone delivered by B.C. Rich's Assassin QX6 makes it a serious sounding instrument that gives B.C. Rich a lot of reasons to be proud of it. Somewhat limited when playing certain music styles doesn't mean that Assassin QX6 will make your tone to sound poor, quite the opposite, because Assassin QX6 provides rich and versatile tone that you'll be happy with.

Though it could be better, action of B.C. Rich's Assassin QX6 is not that bad at all. It may go out of tune when mistreated, but it's easily tuned back in no time. You won't be let down while playing Assassin QX6's neck. Guitar does feel a bit cheaper, but it will last you a long time, if you handle it with care that each instrument should be getting anyhow.

Some might say that B.C. Rich didn't go all the way in providing a reliable and durable instrument, but Assassin QX6 isn't that bad. It will serve you well most of times, though you should be wary and have backups in situations where you feel Assassin QX6 might let you down, such as gigs and studio sessions.
