A killer custom 1997 USA BC Rich Bich...
Traded my Jackson KV2 for it... worth every penny (IMO)

I love the wood choices in that guitar. With that much maple I bet it is really bright sounding. If you see the guitar in my avatar that is made completely of maple. I had the worst time finding pickups that sounded good in it.
But I know that has to be a great playing guitar. Of all my guitars my B.C. Rich Mockingbird is probably the best made of any of them. And yours doesn't seem to have a scratch on it. I'm glad for you. You've managed to snagged a few good deals lately. |

You are correct about the bright sound... The pickups are Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge, and a Dimarzio 35th anniversary PAF in the neck (its a bridge pickup, factory oops)
and pretty light too.. |

Thanks..
It only looks as if the points are missing, its resting in a case and the lining obscures them..
The KV2 was nice, but not as nice as the Bich... |

Awesome looking guitar. I used to work at a BC Rich custom shop dealer and will say they are without a doubt some of the finest made guitars PERIOD! They are also one of the ONLY USA made guitars of the big manufacturers that I think can command their asking prices. Schecter is another one.... |

Is that a 12 string bridge? If so, hows that work with only 6 tuners?
Sweet guitar though |

The name is the only thing terrible about this guitar...mine has a floating bridge; so 70s Joe Perry with a Les Paul slung over his back!
