They left so many people hanging.
Such a shame. They had so much talent. Have you heard of Obscura? They have got some old Necrophagist members there. Good stuff.

Really? I've always had luck with Ibanez. Good to know, even though I cannot afford a Xiphos right now, even the economy models! BC Rich have always gone two ways for me. Their bronze series stuff is, and I doubt you will disagree here, complete junk, but once you get into the NJ and higher series, they are awesome! Not to mention you could kill a rowdy audience member with half their designs. I wouldn't mind an upper end Mockingbird or Bich with a spalted maple top, EMG 81/60 with a tune-o-matic bridge.
