the ultimate guide to bc rich guitars past, present and future
Hi,
Just a wee bit of background about myself I am
29, and have been playing guitar/bass for 15 years .
Throughout the years I have had Gibsons, Fenders,
Rickies, Yamahas, Ibanez, Washburns etc... and was
generally very happy with what I had at that time. I
then discovered B.C. Rich guitars and was hooked.
They beat every competitor in every dep., build
quality, sound, variety of woods, pickups etc, support
was fantastic and so on. I then began to collect more
B.C. Rich's and haven't been disappointed with any of
them.

reverse headstock 80s? virgin, can anyone help me id the year it was produced?
Its a Platinum Series with an older style bridge, blood red, gold hardware, all original except for the inside of the bridge (the pot metal) broke and I machined a duplicate from aluminum, gives it a much better sound by the way, serial number is 22920. Just wandering if anyone could help me with any info on this guitar as I was told it is one of the first virgins they produced. Thanks!
Re: reverse headstock 80s? virgin, can anyone help me id the year it was produced?
The numbers only serial.. 22920... sounds like it was a 2002 year production.. The quextion I have for you is.." Is it a "BOLT ON" neck or "Neck THRU" and if it is a bolt on Neck.. does the neck plate have anything written on it or is it blank?
Re: reverse headstock 80s? virgin, can anyone help me id the year it was produced?
The Virgin was Designed By Neal Moser as a favor for Randy Waltuch,owner of Class Axe,they owned B.C.Rich from 1989 to 1993,I believe the Virgin came into existence in 1993
Re: reverse headstock 80s? virgin, can anyone help me id the year it was produced?
Its probably between '89 and '93 because after that Bernie took back over from Class Axe and i dont think they made Virgins for a number of years after. I have a Virgin with yellow/black crackle and a serial number 23xxx If somebody happened to know what the serial number was on the first virgins, for example 22xxx was the first in '89 or something, then we would know. But we really cant tell since that information is not documented
ID my Warlock, please.
Trying to ID my old Warlock. I am the original owner but was a kid when I bought it in the mid 80's. I am not familiar with this type of serial number from BC Rich.
Serial number: U0997
Re: ID my Warlock, please.
It would help if you answered your emails-I know exactly what this guitar is

Les Paul Shaped Rich

Unusual Warlock
Serial number is F209xxxx. It is a platinum series, flat top, black with white binding. There are no inlays on the fretboard, no nut lock, and an unidentifiable trem system. I'm mostly curious as to an average production date and general stats. I've not been able to find another like it anywhere online. I have, however seen the same trem setup on one or two. It looks like a cross between a Mick Thomson and a Revenge series.
warlock dating. serial 609229. please help!
about a year ago i bought a used platinum warlock but i have no idea how old it is and its driving me crazy. the headstock is the shape of what you would see on a modern bronze series but it has the b.c. rich logo and says "platinum series" under it. the chrome plate where the neck and body meet has the b.c. rich logo, then under that it has the serial number 609229, then under that it says "LA California" and under that "U.S.A." the pickups have the b.c. rich logo on them so im guessing they are stock and theres 2 volume, 1 tone, and one 3way selector. ive tried searching but i couldnt find anything with a serial number like this and almost nothing on platinum warlocks w/o a widow headstock. appreciate any help!

another ST III
I am also trying to determine a value for an ST-III model. I believe it is late 80's. BC Rich logo and "made in USA" on headstock. Active EMG pickups, H/S/S and a Floyd Rose trem. The is no neck plate and no heel. The neck joint is smooth. Color is cherry red (all over, except the front of the headstock, which is black) with black hardware. Possible mod, has two knobs, volume and tone; total of four switches (One for each pickup and one master).
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Re: BC Rich Dating
i also have a guitar with a similar serial#. a black eagle neckthrough, looks like dimarzios but no coil tapping or phase reverse. it has a rosewood veneer headstock and bc rich inlaid. dot inlays on rosewood fretboard. i think it's a B in the serial# B1877. i bought it used in '89. i'm not sure when it was made.
i can say mine was previous to '89 if that helps. but i need more info too.
