The Rich “B” is one of BC Rich’s most enduring electric guitar designs, first unveiled at the 1978 NAMM Show. Distinctive for its batwing-like body shape, the Rich “B” is a stylish alternative instrument that’s sure to stand out on stage!
This ST model, from BC Rich’s Legacy Series, pays tribute the earliest iterations of the Rich “B” — boasting a gorgeous Quilted Maple top, Wenge body stringers, open diamond fingerboard inlays, and Grover Imperial tuners. Sizzling-hot DiMarzio D Activator humbuckers give the Rich “B” ST a huge voice, with the various switches and controls providing a wide tonal palette. This particular model also comes equipped with a recessed Floyd Rose tremolo system.
Key Features
- Neck-Through-Body Construction — Yields piano-like sustain, with heel-less design enabling effortless access to the highest frets.
- Mahogany Body/Wings — A rich-sounding tonewood that adds deep lows and warm mid-range into the sonic mix. The body comes adorned with a beautiful Quilted Maple top too!
- 3-Piece Hard Rock Maple Neck — Layered design ensures maximum strength, for incredible tuning stability. Features ‘Ultra Slim’ profile for lightning-fast playability.
- Indian Ebony Fingerboard — Dark and silky material, featuring a 12″ radius and 24 frets.
- Jumbo Frets — Big size offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
- DiMarzio D Activator Pickups — Passive, high-output humbuckers designed to eliminate the sterile edginess commonly associated with active pickups. Provide plenty of headroom and respond quickly to your picking attack, with ceramic magnets yielding a balanced sound.
- ‘Varitone’ Control & Mini Switches — Alongside the customary 3-way pickup selector switch and volume/tone knobs, the Rich “B” ST also features a 5-way ‘Varitone’ filter switch which subtly adjusts the guitar’s EQ. There are 3 mini toggles too: two of these “tap” the humbuckers for single-coil sounds, and the third switch reverses the phase.
- Floyd Rose 1000 Series Locking Tremolo — Dip and dive-bomb to your heart’s content without losing tune. Recessed design allows you to pull up on the bar to raise the pitch too, as well as create choatic “flutter” effects!
- Grover Imperial Tuners — Renowned in the guitar industry for their quality, with 18:1 gear ratio allowing you to tune precisely.
