My 1999 USA Handmade BC Rich ASM-1

Bought this guitar new in 2000. Swapped the JB for a Distortion in the bridge recently.
Bernie Rico (not Junior) signature on the back of the headstock.

Mahogany neck-through, quilted maple top, ebony board, abalone "shark tooth" inlays, Original Floyd Rose, and Trans Black finish.

I've reached out to BC Rich several times to get additional detailed specs (specifically neck dimensions & shape), and I have never received a reply from them. Thanks BC Rich! /s

Thanks, guys. I'm a big beast fan

Question: How much more heavy, if there is a difference, are your 7 string Beasts compared to your 6 string Beast? I own a 6 string Beast and have always wondered about the weight of 7 string version.

My heaviest beast is 6 string. Its a little bit thicker then others and have maple wings and neck. Actually its one of the first silver bevelled beasts and a cs beasts at all - have a Bernie SR signature.
7strs are have tone chambers and more light-weight wood.

Unfortunately they have info only guitars that were build after 2001 when Hanser become the owner.

I got a couple more since I last posted in this thread...

 

[zakattak192]

And not even 10 minutes ago I just ordered another one....

Missing the bridge pup but $125 for an 80's NJ Warlock is too good to pass up.

 

[Splenetic]

That's a complete steal!

 

[electriceye]

Paincakes, I hate you.

 

[Bloodshredder]

Boner alert....

The widow headstock is (to me) the most badass headstock on the planet.

Any ideas what series this is? Bolt-on with R logo, no neck plate. Has come up locally for a low price so I'm pretty tempted... Just don't want to buy a ....ter.

Oh God have mercy for this unfortunate soul who have a guitar with a Kahler 2550

Good read for BC Rich fans.

A white stealth, wow that looks fantastic. A Stealth is pretty much on the top of my want list, over most other guitars

 

[soylentgreene]

Not an original Gunslinger but for the price this thing is killer \m/

Thx for posting that. I enjoyed reading about the history.

Well this turned out to be JE series which were Japan only so I made an offer before someone else found it. Brought it home today, needs a hell of a tidy up. Frets were rusty and oxidized, scotch brite sorted that out. Some of the LFR bits were stuffed so I replaced with some black Schaller parts I had.

Neck is OK, was expecting it to feel nicer for an MIJ instrument - will judge properly when she's strung up.

Had to purge three-quarters of my guitar collection, and this guy was among the casualties. Really miss this guitar, heavy as hell but so much fun to play...

This is one of the most stunningly beautiful BCRs I've ever seen.

Are they rare? Because I want one

Aren't all handmade BC Rich's basically from a custom shop now?
