Product Description

The Rich "B" is one of BC Rich's most enduring electric guitar designs, first unveiled at the 1978 NAMM Show. Distinctive for its batwing-like body shape, the Rich "B" is a stylish alternative instrument that's sure to stand out on stage!

This Exotic model, from BC Rich's Legacy Series, pays tribute the earliest iterations of the Rich "B" — boasting a gorgeous Koa top, Wenge body stringers, open diamond fingerboard inlays, and Grover Imperial tuners. Sizzling-hot DiMarzio D Activator humbuckers give the Rich "B" Exotic a huge voice, with the various switches and controls providing a wide tonal palette.

Key Features

  • Neck-Through-Body Construction — Yields piano-like sustain, with heel-less design enabling effortless access to the highest frets.
  • Mahogany Body/Wings — A rich-sounding tonewood that adds deep lows and warm mid-range into the sonic mix. The body comes adorned with a beautiful Koa top too!
  • 3-Piece Maple Neck — Layered design ensures maximum strength, for incredible tuning stability. Features 'Modern C' profile for comfortable playability.
  • Ebony Fingerboard — Dark and silky material, featuring a 12" radius and 24 frets.
  • Jumbo Frets — Big size offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
  • DiMarzio D Activator Pickups — Passive, high-output humbuckers designed to eliminate the sterile edginess commonly associated with active pickups. Provide plenty of headroom and respond quickly to your picking attack, with ceramic magnets yielding a balanced sound.
  • 'Varitone' Control & Mini Switches — Alongside the customary 3-way pickup selector switch and volume/tone knobs, the Rich "B" also features a 5-way 'Varitone' filter switch which subtly adjusts the guitar's EQ. There are 3 mini toggles too: two of these "tap" the humbuckers for single-coil sounds, and the third switch reverses the phase.
  • 'Quad' Hardtail Bridge — A high-mass bridge designed to boost tone; featuring easily adjustable saddles for the perfect action and intonation settings.
  • Grover Imperial Tuners — Renowned in the guitar industry for their quality, with 18:1 gear ratio allowing you to tune precisely.

Love my new BC rich guitar. But the electronics are dodgy... only reason I let off a star.
