LIKE NEW. The guitar has obviously been played very little and actually matches a brand new instrument in function and cosmetics. We could not detect any wear and tear, not even dust or fingerdirt. All parts still shine as new. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
- A one-of-a-kind instrument from the B.C. Rich Custom Shop, an 8 string guitar with the distinctive, classic B.C. Rich Beast body shape. Meticulously handcrafted in the USA, using the finest tone woods and the best hardware available. A top class instrument and an extremely rare collector's item!
- Finish: Gloss Onyx, with black hardware.
- Body: Mahogany.
- Neck: Mahogany. Neck-thru-body construction. This enables a very good sustain, and a super easy access to the upper frets.
- Scale: 25.5" - Standard.
- Fretboard: Rosewood, with high quality custom abalone "Iron Cross" inlays.
- Frets: 24, jumbo.
- Nut: 57 mm.

- Tuners: Sperzel USA locking tuners - often requested by professional artists, these tuners are a must-have for the demanding musician. The key to their design is eliminating wraps around the string post, which can cause string slippage and tuning problems. Simply loosen the thumbwheel located on the back, feed the string through the post, lock the thumbwheel tight, cut off the remaining string, tune up and you’re finished – better tuning stability and no more restringing nightmares.
- Bridge: Custom Kahler USA tremolo.
- Pickups: 1x EMG 808 humbucker - a special development by EMG, this pickup for 8-string instruments has a great response, dynamics and transparence, even when playing complex voicings or low-range notes.
- Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup, e.g. any DiMarzio, EMG or Seymour Duncan etc. (Very fair prices per pickup swap). Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
- Electronics: 1x Volume.
- The guitar comes with a high-quality original BC Rich USA hardcase, Certificate of Authenticity and factory accessoires.
