Freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, this 1981 B.C. Rich is dialed in and ready to go. In Very Good condition with modest wear and tear for an instrument of this age, including a few scratches, nicks, dings, and general aging of hardware and finish. Overall, this B.C. Rich presents very nicely for a 40 year-old guitar.
This package is a real time capsule. The guitar is all original except for a replaced nut and a professional refret. And it comes with its original hard shell case, plus the original Warranty Card and Instruction Manual! The back of the headstock still bears the dated label of the original retailer, Long & McQuade, Vancouver, B.C., which is still in business today. How cool is that? See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
