1986 BC Rich Bich — restored body front, glossy black, zebra humbuckers, Floyd Rose, chrome knobs

About this instrument

I bought this vintage Bich completely stripped of all hardware and the finish in really tough shape. I restored it myself to the condition you see in these photos. I included some photos before restoration. Original BC Rich guitars were extremely high quality but also extremely heavy. This is more of a collector piece and not something I’d normally choose to play. It does sound good though and plays well.
