Anyone have an idea of the value? Im restoring a late 80s ironbirn, i removed the pickups to work paint on it and found the numbers 16,14 inlayed into the body. I cant find any info on what the numbers mean,does anyone have a idea? Hi all. I'm desperately searching for some info here. I cannot find ANY info on it. There is no serial number and the model is BW I have found information on 's 's ect. But nothing on mine. Both in Excellent condition. The only thing I know is that he bought it in '92 for a "pretty penny".
I'm going MAD trying to find information. If anyone can give me anything - year it was made, value.. Anything will help. I also have no serial number and I can't find any information about it, I don't even know what yeay BC Rich stooped making acoustic guitars.
I know they had a mess with serial numbers in the I have a BC Rich, according to the writing on the headstock, that I purchased new in or It's a double cutaway, strat style body.
Bolt on neck. The neck is satin with what appears to be an ebony fret board. Grover tuners, Floyd Rose locking tremolo, two exposed humbucker pickups, 1-tone, 1-volume, 3-way toggle switch. All hardware is black. Vintage type six on a side headstock with black overlay. Headstock says BC Rich.
There are no other marking on the headstock. The truss rod cover is black with no markings. The neck plate cover says BC Rich and serial number is B Based on the serial number and being a bolt on neck, it should be from However, I'm positive I purchased the guitar in '' New to the guitar thing learning so totally lack much in the way of knowledge.
I have a BC Rich Virgo which I really like but want another model but with seriously deeper sound and without changing from 6 strings. I like the feel of the BC Rich Widow and while there are the three models guitar, 4-string bass and 5-string bass , is there such a thing as a 6-string bass?
Would I be better off with the guitar version just change the strings and pick-ups to bass, in which case would the pick-ups accommodate 6 stings?
I bought my Ironbird via eBay, long ago, the most recent NAMM explains current import neck throughs are really just set neck like a Gibson LP is and not a full neck through body construction with wings or stringers construction like a USA built guitar, my question is, has this always been true of the budget 'import' line? They are well made and could fool most people I have to say. There needs to be more talk about how they make you play and sound better!
No matter what expensive or cheaper model! Just do it, bros! I have recently acquired a son of the beast in cherry red and black. I sent away for a set of pickups from china Well one pickup has a red wire and the other has a black.
Since the black was already the color of the original pickup, I replaced it with the new black wired one Been changing strings and playing for years but changing pickups This guitar plays very nicely, except that I am not a good guitar player.
I am familiar with B. Rich as they are currently with the majority of their stock being made throughout various parts of asia with relatively poor QC and low value. I was recently informed that they did not always have that reputation, and that BC Rich's of a certain vintage are actually a gold standard type of guitar. I looked up mine and the combination of model and serial number do not seem to line up. The guitar is a humbucker and two single coils with the three switches, volume and tone.
If you are still monitoring this board, I have seen you offer up wiring diagrams and information to others and would like your permission to send some pics and gain some information on this guitar. I have owned it since about and it was bought used and seemed quite old at the time.
The pickups were not working and I had a friend wire the pickups into working condition. It has a licensed floyd rose trem with locking nut, SFTA. Thanks in advance, and I hope this site is still active. Been a few years since the most recent posts. James Lee, would you be interested in selling this guitar? I'd love to make you an offer!
Email me at barrowsband gmail. I have a red powdercoated Warlock with black inlay around guitar and headstock is same in back of guitar that sits in back ive looked all over all I have found is a glossy black. One made.
I was told there was. Only made how. Do I find Out and on 7 the fret. It has Pearl inlay of warlock headstock. That matches guitar headstock. And bottom of back headstock in guitar. Is it a warlock 2? I have a BC Rich Wave bass with a bolt on neck. I'm curious to what this might be worth. I've yet to see another one on sale in the UK online anyway.
It's a Beast, Body Art Series with the Brass City design and not a mark on it, really is awesome condition, plays spot on, perfect set up etc. But it has a major hum in it. The guy I bought it from must have had no clue on what he was doing.
It has a single volume,single tone, a three position pick up switch and what looks like a single coil cut out switch. If anyone has a schematic or a place I could find one I would greatly appreciate it! The other thing that sold me on it is it came in a Coffin Case with purple tuck and pleat.. I just recently got a warlock rave.
Its a darker red color with 2 knobs on the front. I know Im probably not sounding too technical. Anyway I have done tons of research and cant get any actual info about it.
Like year, what its worth so on and so forth. If you can help it would be great! OK I have a red platinum series virgin with a reverse headstock and gold colored hardware. It has a Floyd rose lisenced tremolo single locking kinda like a 80s model charvel ch bridge, it has 2 knobs 3 way switch and mini switch. Its serial number is Has 22 fret neck. OK I have a red platinum series virgin it has a Floyd rose licensed tremolo just like the 80s model charvel ch tremolos it has all gold colored hardware and the serial number is on the back of the neck plate I can't find the year it was made anywere.
I cannot find anything referencing it except one site said it was likely a Japanese? The Fxxxxxx serial number is a Cort produced model. Awesome axe. I have had my warlock for 18 yrs one of my first guitars and am now looking to sell but i'm struggling to properly identify it. It is a black bolt on, maple neck and maple finger board, 2 sets of double pickups, reverse pointed headstock.
There is no writing on the headstock other than the BC Rich logo and the serial plate on the back has not been stamped with a number but there is g etched into it.
I have scoured the net for a few days and the only thing close is the rave model which has a maple fingerboard but normal headstock. Whats really throwing me is the non stamped, etched serial. The serial g leads me to think that perhaps it was a limited edition i. Does anyone know where to find the blue book on this? I bought the price guide and it said they were not even made in and I cannot find a single picture that looks like it.
Trans green, diamond shaped inlays, neck through, mahogany binding between the neck and body, dimarzio pickups, Grover tuners. I found a few pics of bitch models with the same fret board, but nothing else. It was my first Bass guitar and means the world to me I've been looking for info on this bass for quite some time.
It's the standard black through body Anyone have a guesstimate of what it may be worth. Was my first bass. And first love. That meant a guitar with the serial number would have been built in , and it was the rd instrument from that lineup. If the instrument had a stamp that said , it was made in and was the 12th guitar created by BC Rich that year. The problem with those serial numbers is that they only allowed 1, units to be created each year.
When production rapidly grew in , the serial numbers were already up to three years ahead. There is a bass guitar with the serial number , but it was actually built in Although BC Rich Guitars never went above 2, guitars for a production year, the serial numbers continued to fall behind because of their setup. In , they went to being four years ahead. This process continued until the production responsibilities were turned over to Class Axe in There was no uniform way that the numbers were assigned at the original shop for BC Rich Guitars.
This trait was eliminated from the production process in or In , the bolt-on BC Rich models got their own serial number. The company replaced the year designation with the letters BO, providing a three-digit number instead. With all the confusion surrounding the serial numbers for BC Rich Guitars, the company decided to implement a standardized date stamp format that applied to all the instruments.
Every handmade American product and the imported ones all use the same process now, streamlining the identification process. Even with this change, some confusion still exists with the model years. If you have a guitar with an eight-digit stamp that says , it could have been built in or Each factory was only given a number. Month codes are included to ensure production accuracy, which means some BC Rich Guitars would have a serial code like A No information has ever been given as to why those specific letters were assigned to the different months.
BC Rich Guitars also has the following factory regions built into their imported instruments on some models. Some serial coding is accurate, but others have enough ambiguity that the only option left is to contact the manufacturer directly. The best guitars from this era were built in the United States by Ron Estrada. Everything else was created in different Asian countries using mass production methodologies.
They are a distribution organization based in Kentucky, and the name was also eventually licensed to Praxis Musical until In , BC Rich Guitars was sent to another owner. The new management announced on Facebook that they would be releasing legacy models of the most popular instruments in their lineup, including the Stealth and IronBird.
Although there is a certain element of Gibson guitar design incorporated into the instruments produced by BC Rich Guitars, there are some distinctive differences. BC Rich Guitars tend to have more angles incorporated into the body.
