Vintage guitars for sale: BC Rich

BC Rich is a brand naturally associated with rock and metal - but the brand emerged from the workshop of luthier Bernardo Chavez Rico, who had been making flamenco guitars in LA throughout the sixties. Ultimately, BC Rich production would move to Asia, but the early US-built guitars are highly prized by players and collectors alike. The through-neck construction of many BC Rich guitars, combined with early active electronics produced guitar tones very much suited to the early 80s metal scene.

Models to look out for: Seagull, Eagle, Mockingbird, Rich Bich

1984 BC RICH BICH guitar 80s Red MIJ NJ SERIES Made In Japan Metal Shred Vintage

Watsonville, California, 950**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$260

Here??s the deal! This thing is absolutely awesome, it??s just not for me (I??m more of a Les Paul guy). This is a killer vintage guitar, but could probably use a setup and some cleaning to make it perfect. I??ve had it set up in D standard and it keeps tune absolutely perfectly, so no complaints there. It has finish cracks on part of the neck and body by the neck joint, but to my eye at least, they seem to be just in the varnish, not the wood. Pickups are untested as I don??t have an amp ... more

Headstock looks great. Frets and fretboard have lots of life left. Body has a few nicks and dings, including the wing dings very common for pointy guitars.
