Thanks for the shout out dudes! Had a great time playing the bich. First one I’ve ever jammed on!
Well we know how rare that ax is! A true piece of BC Rich History
There is just something about you cleaning up this old guitar and giving it a new life. So satisfying to watch. Great video! 🤘🏻
Super 2 & a 36th anniversary paf in the neck
That guitar looks awsome. You would pay hundreds to have a guitar reliced like that. Great sounding too. Good vid.
I remember when BCRs came with Super Distortions and the built-in preamp and the chicken head knobs. Very old school. I never cared for the pre-amps as they added way too much fuzz and took away clarity. Also, EMGs would have been better for an active setup, although I prefer good old passive Super Distortions. BTW, the neck pup is probably a PAF. This was a very common combo used by Dave Murray among many other players in the 70s and 80s. Along with the JB/Jazz combo, it's one of the most popular combos ever.
Those are battle scares and she is a survivor!
keep it the way it is. lots of nerds (myself included) love the formerly white guitars that age like a smoked cheese
Beautiful guitar
I'd love to see that guitar repainted to original, that'd look so bad ass especially with that old Kahler. Other than that I'd never use Windex because wood and ammonia don't mix, I'd just use some Music Nomad guitar polish on it, it's carnauba based, clean that geetar right up.
forget carnauba! the top layer of this guitar is made up of cig smoke,rotten pieces of pasta sauce,remains of 250 year old insects and cum. So only windex will help here.
Leave it as it and play it it's guitar with history from years of playing 😊😊😊
Love it the way it is...
Great work Dane. Since it is a rare model i would definately keep it TV Jones yellow/Yngwie yellow in the color (as close to the original) color. Great find & great pickups. 👍
Alongside Leo’s Stratocaster, Neal Moser’s Bich is a perfect instrument.
Cool guitar!
Thanks for watching
I really enjoyed this video, seeing how it’d a year ago curious what you ended up doing with it. The damage certainly adds charm, I may have left it as is, cleaned up and dialed in. Love those old bc riches!
Sounds really nice!
Please got i hope you kept this original. It looks great with the worn in body and everything
Clean and polish!
Super cool, glad you left the finish. The pickup is probably a PAF but I wonder if to keep cost down on the imports the used bridge versions & just flipped them for the neck with the logo the wrong way.
The battle scars are cool! So glad you cleaned it up. I’d say just leave it!
Keep it as is!
Oh maaan, this guitar is like a hard rock terminator - old but not obsolete :D
i always liked BC Rich. Had a pink Mockingbird back in the 80s ;)
Cleaning it was the best choice
lmao at the acoustic string strung backwards
Yeah I would never spray glitter paint over a classic 1982 Bitch! That guitar is freaking perfect the way it is specially with all of this original parts. The pickups and trem are worth a bunch by themselves please don't ruin that guitar! Love the channel and I actually really like the way you and your buddy re paint and spruce up the cheaper guitars, that shit is cool, just not this one!
My guess on the neck pickup is a Dimarzio PAF but it’s a guess the super distortion PAF set is their answer to the SD JB/Jazz combo I wouldn’t have said anything but you mentioned it a few times in the video so personally I feel Naphtha would be a better choice than windex because the ammonia in the windex is harsh I’m only saying that because it’s what twoodfrd suggests to use on guitars and his results are amazing and ammonia can have serious reactions to some kinds of finishe
Its amonia dane. I use end dust it dosent hurt the pai t at allits good for funiture so . Yeah people say dunlop but ive use enddust for a long time and youve see my guitars they are clean.
I am just now seeing this. Paint it if you haven’t already. BC Riches Dont hold their value like Gibson and Fenders do, so it won’t be devalued with new paint.
If I had that, I'd never be selling it, business is one thing, stupidity is another, cool to see such a rare work of art, thanks for the video, cool channel, all the best
I was going to ask you if I should repaint my 84’ Gibson Explorer. Paint has crackled.
Dimarzio DP104 is a super 2 not a super distortion and i think the pickup in the neck may actually be a bridge pickup
That would look awsome in a yellow metal flake
Dane. It would get stripped down to the resin sesler. Not all the wsy down to bare wood.
Cool axe. I'd keep all the original parts as long as they work. I'd have it repainted some crazy color. Or something really beautiful. That way it's truly one of a kind.
It looks like someone used that guitar as a shovel !
Neck is going to be a regular style PAF.
Should've painted it black and put a St. Paulie girl and Wasted Youth sticker in honor of late Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman...
If it were mine I would have it repainted but I would plan on keeping it and not selling it. I had one of those when I was a kid. I ended up selling it in order to pay my rent when I was older and I’m still kicking myself in the ass for getting rid of it.
HI..are you sure its not usa??? I had a Mockinbird from same era and it was usa made..Thanks...Dave
Is it still available
Ooh the grossness under that Trem , I hope you were wearing a mask Dane!
is it for sale?
how much would it cost to ship to germany
Man I would have been scared of catchin some disease off something that nasty. I think I woulda worn elbow length rubber gloves and a full on Bio Hazard mask to clean that. As far as the paint job.. People pay crack head prices to get that look done to a new guitar right now so I would not change a thing in that department. Glue up that crack in the headstock before that split runs. A full neck reset, frets leveled and crowned and for gods sake intonation properly set. I would keep the OG screws but upgrade them all to stainless steel so they never rust or tarnish.
Try to keep it original if you can ,just repair the chips ,if you can keep it mint original, but if you do decide to redo it you have to do a top notch job,very rare guitar nowadays! lemon pledge works great too ,as long as you wipe right away ,windex is fine too" .
That guitar would look awesome in graffitti yellow
I asked my guitars if it's okay if I use Windex on them if it's just to remove the top layer of dirt. They all said no.
ncei fookin BCR
If everyone is going to jump on you for Windex, than maybe grab 409...it doesn't have ammonia. I'm on your side...you can clearly see it needs something stronger than guitar polish to cut thru the years of crap from that thing sitting in someone's shed!
Refinish would be cool.
Hi Sorry i just heard u say first year made in japan..mine had diamond inlays and grover imperial tuners
The relic is nice, buuuuut, still wanna see it refinished. I'm sure someone will still want it if it's not. You'd have to call it "Garbage to glory"
There is ammonia in windex
same size as charvels as well..
That guitar sounds amazing! Glad you didn't paint it!
Is it going up on reverb?
We put it up on Reverb today' Link is in the discription
if its early to mid 80's NO otherwisr sure why not
Cleaned up pretty good, I’d now say leave the original finish 🤘🏼
Lmao I’d like to see a Gibson that’s pickup routs are as clean and smooth as this BC Rich …. That’s what made in Japan quality is all about…. And as far as the little 4 on the back of the bridge pickup after the model number is probably referring to it being a 4 conductor pickup instead of a 2 conductor pickup but I honestly don’t know for sure I love 80’s guitars especially the Japanese made stuff but I know more about Ibanez Roadstar series 2 than just about anything else #FujiGenGuitarsForever
If this is an 82 model I'm pretty sure it's a USA model, the NJ Series wasn't released until 1983, I think it's a USA model, not all USA models have the R logo but all models with the R logo atr USA BC Rich models, and the fact you have the serial number on the headstock means it is not an NJ Series model, but both USA and NJ Series (at least 1983-85 models when they were still made in Japan) BC Riches are excellent quality.
@ Damien Zero the japanese BC Rich NJ series had an 'R' 6 digit serial number sticker under the clear coat on the back of the headstock exactly like this guitar has. The first 2 digits are the year this is an 84. The headstock face were a bit mixed up this guitar appears to have been modified as it should have small capital font 'B' and 'C' on either side of the 'R' but also ich stacked vertically under the 'R' with 'nj series' in gold just above the truss rod cover
B. R C.
I
C
H
NJ series
They also labeled them BC RICO the same way for a time. Id bet the previous owner painted the headstock black but masked the R off so as to look like an American made. This however is just me guessing. At any rate those very well built japanese guitars that kick ass. Hope this helps. Cheers.
That guitar is a 1989-1993. Look up that sticker numbering "RXXXXXX" it’s for imported models. It’s not N.J. That was my favorite of the import models. I would like to buy it as is if you sell it. I would only buy it if it’s original.
Neck probably a paf
the bridge humbucker appears to say DP104 which is a Super 2, not the traditional super distortion, the neck pickup is a PAF and needs to be flipped back over, that likely is not how the factory mounted it but the original/previous owner flipped it. Please don't paint this guitar some glitter neon color, please keep it the stock aged white, even if you refinish it keep it the same color
Thanks
Just clean it up don't paint it I have the same one in white no tremolo. I bought it new in '83. That guitar is as solid as when new and plays awesome still. All stock.
Repaint it the same color
Please don't paint it looks super cool that color
id rather have it like it was before you cleaned it than a dumbass flake re-finish...
I think you said it yourself. Leaving it may be more $ savvy but.......NO FUN! Have some fun, sparkle paint it pink or purple and tease mankuta with it.
That one needs a paint job probably more then the rest
Paint it
Repaint that Shit!!!
I think its a thrash classic
