I have a Platinum Series Ironbird with the Red Snakeskin finish. Its a bolt on with a Gold neck plate and a 4 digit serial number (7323). It was gift in 93 or 94 and it had seen some use before that and had all the chipped points one expects to find on a used BC Rich.It also has a Signature on the back of the Headstock that looks like it says AL BEAN and a small sticker thats partily worn off that reads.. ___ed by BC Rich.Even though i know its not a top of the line model i still value it because my Grandfather who gave it to me died in 95.I'd never sell it but i am very interested to find out anything i can about it.
It plays and sounds great and i love playing it, but could anyone give me any info on this guitar? I assume its a Korean BC Rich, but i have not been able to find out much else about it.Its got Twin Humbuckers,3-Way Switch and a smaller toggle switch that i am unsure what it does,but a change in the sound is clear when its switched.Can anyone tell me when the Snakeskin finish was offered or anything else about my Ironbird.
Thanks!
