History

Early years

The B.C. Rich guitar company was started in 1974 by the late Bernardo Chavez Rico (or "Bernie, Sr.") as a repair shop primarily for Spanish and Classical-style guitars. Later Bernie expanded into solid-body electrics after repairing the snapped neck of Bo Diddley's legendary Gretsch. Bernardo Chavez Rico (1941-December 3, 1999) was an important American luthier specializing in guitars. ... Bo Diddleys emphasis on rhythm largely influenced popular music, especially that of rock and roll in the 1960s. ... Gretsch is a U.S. musical instrument manufacturer currently being distributed by guitar company Fender and drum craft company Kaman. ...

Rico adopted the professional name "B.C. Rich" The history behind the name is that Rico had a friend named Bobby Rich who adopt the Hispanic name "Roberto Rico", so Bernie Rico reverse the process and adopt the name "B.C.Rich" for his guitars.

He began making Les Paul-inspired guitars. Later models such as the Bich, Eagle, Seagull, Warlock, Mockingbird, Ironbird and others would express the personalities of Rico, staff designers and independent contractors. Rico loved exotic cars and motorcycles, designer clothes and custom paint schemes and all these traits would manifest themselves in certain guitars. The Gibson Les Paul is a popular solidbody electric guitar originally developed in the early 1950s. ... A motorcycle (or motorbike) is a two-wheeled vehicle powered by an engine. ...

Popularity and use in heavy metal

As popularity and demand grew, Rico wanted to start mass producing guitars for a much lower price to a much wider audience. B.C. Rico was the name originally given to these imported B.C. Rich guitars that Rico had manufactured in Japan and sold in the US. This name was given to make a distinction between the US made and imported guitars, but was dropped due to a lawsuit filed by the Rico reed company. Only several hundred of these are believed to have made it into the US. These Japanese (and later Korean) made guitars were subsequently known as the NJ series, which originally stood for Nagoya, Japan, the place where they were manufactured. NJ still serves to distinguish an imported line of B.C. Rich guitars and basses, along with the even cheaper Platinum and Bronze series. There was also a very inexpensive Rave series in the eighties, as well as a higher-quality L.A. Series. The B.C. Rico and early NJ guitars and basses were of neck-through body construction, and were very well made instruments. The present imported guitars are mostly basic bolt-on neck construction (except for the current NJ Classic and N.T. series). B.C. Rich also created an innovation known as I.T. (Invisibolt Technology) which bolts the neck extremely deep into the body rather than the typical neck joint. This adds extra sound character not found on a basic bolt-on. Neck-thru or neck-through or in full form neck through body is a method of electric guitar or bass guitar construction that involves extending the piece (or pieces, in a laminate construction) of wood used for the neck the entire length of the body. ... Typical bolt-on neck joint on a Yamaha Pacifica 112 electric guitar Bolt-on neck is a method of guitar (or similar stringed instrument) construction that involves joining guitar neck and body using screws. ...

Since 2003, for the imported models, B.C. Rich used their own brand of pickups, known as B.D.S.M. (broad dynamic sonically matched). These pickups were an improvement from the generic pickups factories provided. However starting in 2006, B.C. Rich primarily uses Rockfield brand pickups. Due to the broad selection of features B.C. Rich is selecting pickups that match the guitar's design and player's requirements.

By the mid-1980s, B.C. Rich's guitars were widely used in heavy metal -- partly because the instruments' unusual designs were deemed more appropriate for the threatening image many metal performers wanted to project. The popularity of B.C. Rich instruments among metal musicians continues to the present.

The exclusive guitar that John Christ of the Rock band Danzig owned is "the bich". Despite Christ's departure from Danzig in 1994, he still owns the guitar till this day.

In the 1993 episode "Happy Birthday Zack" of the children's television show Power Rangers, a man is seen playing a B.C. Rich guitar during Zack's birthday party. Power Rangers is a long-running American childrens television series adapted from the Japanese tokusatsu Super Sentai Series, though it is not simply an English dub of the original. ...

Class Axe Era

B.C. Rich has had a long history of rumors and reports that they had gone out of business completely or filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since their primary inception in the late 1970s and early 1980s, as well as reports of a constantly changing executive management. One of the more well known instances of this occurred in the late 1980s, when Bernie Rico decided to step away from guitar manufacturing and licensed production out to a New Jersey based manufacturer known as Class Axe. Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code governs the process of reorganization under the bankruptcy laws of the United States. ...

Class Axe produced guitars at a fraction of the cost of other manufacturers. However the quality of the guitars was extremely poor as they used glued and layered plywood along with other generic lumber yard woods for the guitar bodies. Among the list of major complaints, aside from the obvious use of cheaper woods, was general poor workmanship, which included bad sanding, shaping, paint jobs, hardware, and fret wire installation. Towers of Hanoi constructed from plywood. ... The neck of a guitar showing the first four frets. ...

These poor quality guitars marred B.C. Rich's reputation almost instantly. As soon as this was brought to Rico's attention, he immediately regained control of production. Due to this singular occurrence alone, B.C. Rich lost a great deal of respect from long term players who soon abandoned them, while at the same time retailers slashed prices on the Class Axe models in an attempt to sell off their stock of the now known poor quality guitars.

Because of the incredible difference in quality between B.C. Rich's classic guitars and the Class Axe models that were now on the market, rumors started that the Class Axe guitars were in fact bootlegs or underground knock offs that were being sold and distributed by unknowing retailers. B.C. Rich disappeared into temporary obscurity for most of the latter 1990s until the manufacturing issues were sorted out. The company has only recently started to become recognized for high-quality instruments again.

Another frequent misunderstanding from the Class Axe era is that although Class Axe was located in New Jersey, the NJ series of guitars were actually made in Nagoya, Japan. Some of the Platinum and NJ models from this era have "LA California" or "New Jersey, USA" stamped on the neck plate which is misleading. The USA made guitars from this period state USA on the headstock in addition.

Innovations

B.C. Rich is known for many advancements and innovations.

Design and materials innovations

Widow is a distinctive B.C. Rich headstock shape and typically available in the Warlock series guitars and bass guitars.

To many musicians and fans, B.C. Rich will always be known for unconventional body styles. However, these designs were more than just aesthetic: they were intended to improve overall playability by making the instruments easy to play in different positions, and allowing easy access to the upper frets.

Another innovation was the use of exotic woods such as Hawaiian koa and mahogany. These unique woods gave guitars different overtones than those of more traditional construction.

"Acrylic Series" guitars. These guitars are made completely of acrylic and their bodies are transparent, making the electronics inside viewable. The original run of the acrylic models featured a standard bolt-on maple neck with wood headstock, but later models featured an acrylic headstock, matching the same color as the body and making the overall appearance of the guitar more attractive. Although acrylic is arguably denser than most woods and can potentially carry a "fatter" tone, the acrylic models are physically quite heavy and some players dislike the heavy instruments. Perspex redirects here. ...

In 2006 B.C. Rich introduced the IT (Invisibolt Technology) series. In this series the neck is bolted inside the body to look like a neck-thru, but neck joint is still visible. This combines the elements of both bolt-on and neck-through designs for a brutal attack and lasting sustain.

Active electronics

They were one of the first guitar companies who used true neck through body design, custom battery-powered active electronics — pickups and tone controls inside the guitar that help to enhance the tone. These electronics were originally thought out and designed by Neal Moser who was a contracted employee for B.C. Rich from 1974 through 1985. (He was also the designer of the B.C. Rich Bich and Virgin guitars.) Three magnetic pickups on an electric guitar. ... Neal Moser is a California-based master luthier with decades of experiance. ...

Controversies

With HHI's acquisition of B.C. Rich, many of the company's actions were disturbing to the veteran players of B.C. Rich instruments. Among these anomalies are; the company attempting to rewrite it's history, claiming to be the sole creator of the four rear tuner 10-string guitar, stealing ideas from its now defunct forum members such as the Warbeast (albeit originally a joke), and flooding their production line ups with numerous special edition guitars instead of those from a set series. These acts aided in the creation of theBC Rich Players Community Forum.
