BC Rich Guitars

Where did all the cool USA made ones go ? Private collections or under people's beds ? Surely not into a landfill, VERY tough to find.

Big fan. I have a handcrafted Mockingbird SL. This is the "Slash" model with the red transparent finish, Floyd and partial active electronics.

Expensive damn guitar but very cool.

Also have an early 90s USA ST3 in blue snakeskin finish, lol. Heck of a super strat.

Two STIII's here. These things sell mad cheap for the quality. I got one for free, and the other for $200. I couldn't believe it.

I used to have a early eagle things I would do to get that one back... My stIII is still pretty cool though..

Here's a couple imports with pots, pickups replaced. Really good players for the money, sound and play as good as they look.

What series is the amber burst one? I like it, the binding looks cool.

I'm a huge BC Rich fan. The early stuff was incredible, and I'll always have a soft spot for the Warlock shape even if I'm not a metal head. The company just can't seem to get out of its own way. They ran it into the ground in the late '80s/early '90s and did it again in the early 2000s.

Been a BCR fan since I was a kid. I used to stare at that two page ad for the Bich that they ran in Guitar Player in the late 70s while waiting for my lesson. Then one day I stepped into Zapf's Music in Philly and saw my first Mockingbird. Scored my first Mock in '84 and have been playing 'em since then I've posted pics of my Mocks before but some have left the fold and one has been added. here they are.....

Got another one on the way, it's an '83 and is currently being refurbed. The new color will be rude Pink
