❌SOLD❌ BC Rich Bich Supreme Maple Natural, 1995

Designed by Neal Moser while Bernardo Rico was out of the country, the BC Rich Bich first appeared in the 1976 catalog as a 10-string model. Like most other BC Rich models of the time, the Bich used a neck-through design with ‘wings’ added to provide the body shape for the center neck-body section. The BC Rich Bich Supreme seen here is in great condition with very little wear.

❌SOLD❌ BC Rich NJ Eagle Bolt-On Black, 1984

On October 18, 2022 /

Here is a BC Rich NJ Eagle, a bolt-on design built under Bernardo Rico’s direction in Nagoya, Japan in an effort to bring his designs to a wider market. This example dates to around 1984, and while it’s not quite the same as the hand-built, through-neck US BC Rich models – which is impressive. This is a really good feeling and good playing guitar.

Rich NJ Series line of guitars was Bernardo Rico’s response to Japanese builders copying his distinctive B.C. Rich designs at much lower cost than his hand-built US models.

❌SOLD❌ BC Rich B Double Neck 6/12 Legacy Cherry, 2011

On May 11, 2022 /

This is something you don’t see every day – a BC Rich B Double neck! This example dates to 2011 and is in great original condition.

The BC Rich B Double neck model is based on the 1977 ‘Rich Bich’ design, but expanded to two necks. This uses a neck-through design, with a combination of Mahogany and Nyatoh and perhaps Walnut separating the core from the ‘wings’. The fingerboards are Ebony with the classic ‘cloud’ BC Rich position markers. To retain the compact size of the 12-string headstock, the octave strings feed through ferrules on the back of the head, and the tuners are in the cutaway at the tail block.
