B.C. Rich Handcrafted Guitars

Posted by Jon in • Cool Guitars, Crazy Guitar Designs,

B.C. Rich Draco Supreme
B.C. Rich have been around for a long time now and their production guitars are pretty affordable (starting at around $250) and popular with Rock and Metal guitarists. Well I recently received an email from Guitar Noize reader Jake Hollands about the new site for B.C. Rich Handcrafted Guitars for B.C. Rich fans who want that extra bit of quality.

“At the B.C. Rich Handcrafted Shop, we give you four different ways that you can own a B.C. Rich Handcrafted bass or guitar. Below is a brief description of each.

DREAM SHOP - You dream it. We build it. You rock it!
DREAM STOCK - Handcrafted guitars and basses that are currently in-stock and ready for sale. Realize your guitar dreams now!
ICON SHOP - Some of our most popular handcrafted guitars and basses, pre-speced and ready to order. All Icon Shop are either in production or in stock
ready for immediate purchase.
SIGNATURE SHOP - Own a replica of your favorite B.C. Rich artist’s dream guitar!”

Pictured above is the Draco Supreme from the DREAM SHOP.

“The Draco V Ghost Flames has an unforgettable appearance. Accentuating its aggressively scalloped body, this neck-through guitar features painted flames that have a “ghost” effect. Turn the guitar or change the angle of light and you’ll see a second set of underlying flames. The paint is paired tastefully with satin silver hardware. With parts from high-end manufacturers like TonePros, DiMarzio and Sperzel, it’s easy to see and hear that this is one top-notch axe.”

Whilst browsing around I came across my absolute favourite guitar from when I starting playing guitar (1988-89) which is the B.C. Rich Gunslinger with its snakeskin graphics and single angled DiMarzio Super Distortion humbucker, Original Floyd Rose Tremelo and reverse headstock!
