The b.c. rich: bich

John Christ with his BC Rich "bich"
John Christ from Danzig playing a guitar model I own and the only bc rich shape I like, the "bich". I'm looking to buy another one in the future I kind of want one of these "classic" headstocks he's rocking. looks so classy. lol Unfortunately I'm not too into selling guitars so its going to have to be when I have some serious play money. The originals were actually 10 strings and were the brain-child of luthier Neal Moser in the late 60s. he conceived, designed, and built the first Bich 10 string prototypes. the "Bich" was never owned by Bernie Rico/BC Rich. The design was licensed to BC Rich under contract with Neal Moser. He actually filed a lawsuit to be able to sell the guitars with Moser Custom Guitars too. Neal Moser retains ownership of the original body templates and all his custom shop guitars have an M inlay in the headstock. It has been considered the epitome of heavy metal guitars.
