B.C. Rich® Marks 40Th Anniversary With Limited Run Of Original-Spec, Handcrafted Guitars

Commemorating its 40th Anniversary as America's premier builder of uniquely shaped, lifestyle-driven electric guitars, B.C. Rich® proudly announces a new series of handcrafted instruments to mark the milestone. The special guitars are a tribute to models originally developed by company founder Bernardo ("Bernie") Rico and are limited to a production run of 40 guitars per model.

The four Handcrafted Anniversary Guitars represent the first original designs offered by B.C. Rich: the Seagull, Eagle, Mockingbird and Bich. Each will receive a 40th Anniversary commemorative logo on the back of the headstock, a special serial number and certificate of authenticity.

All Anniversary instruments utilize Neck-through-Body Koa wood construction, a feature rarely seen before B.C. Rich came on the scene back in '69. This method maximizes sustain and helps maintain the long-term structural stability of the instrument. Bodies are crafted of solid Koa with Maple accent stripes ("stringers") on two models and utilize DiMarzio® Dual Sound pickups.

Additional design details include the classic B.C. Rich Diamond fingerboard inlays (Snowflake design on the Seagull), Grover® Super Rotomatic™ tuners and vintage Cal Rad knobs.

"The 40th Anniversary Series lets us pay tribute to our original designs with these retro-inspired models," said Rock Clouser, product manager for B.C. Rich. B.C. Rich Anniversary Series instruments each have a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $4,200.00.
