[@vicentegarcia9520]

This guitar was designed for the D and G string to have octaves and the b and high e are unison. The low E and A string are not suppose to have octave strings. The phase only works when you have the 3 way toggle switch in the middle position with both pickups on.

[@TheJeffcurran]

I know a lot about these guitars. I bought two of them. A doubleneck Supreme in 1981 and a singleneck standard in 1982. Best guitars ever. Neal Moser still makes them. He designed them and the electronics. They are not intended to be strung this way. The E and A are supposed to be singles. I'm not sure that those string guides are from the factory unless Dusty specifically ordered this guitar to be strung like this. That is also not the standard position for the pup toggle switch. This one has the correct Badass bridge. My dblnk had the flight case with a gorgeous red velvet lining.

[@fireemblemistrash75]

[@stephenzaborski8656]

I'm jealous.ive wanted a Rich guitar ever since I saw Jefferson Starship's 'Find your way back' video.ive got a Carvin doublneck,but to me,the double you own is the holy grail of 12/6 combos.

[@stephenzaborski8656]

What do you suppose that Trogly Rich is worth?8,10,12 thousand bucks?more?less?To me,that guitar is an excellent representation of a luthier eager to show how much quality one can offer in the simple instrument that is the solid bodied electric guitar. The electronic versatility alone is astonishing.Carvin strove for that,also.Alembic is noted for electronic diversity. But those custom shop Rich's...tippy,tippy top shelf instruments. I'll shut up now.

[@warmothgmc]

That’s a beauty. I have a 2005 USA BC Rich Bich Supreme 10 string in red. Tons of fun and a lot of tones.

[@jerrymunson4155]

I thought that was the coolest thing in the world back then. There’s a picture of Joe Perry on the cover of Guitar Player with a red one without the additional 4 strings. B C Rich’s were stunning axes.😍

[@gsxerwhite]

Yep. I must’ve cut about 100 lawns when I was 14 so I could save up for a low end model Warlock. I loved that guitar. Unfortunately I sold it when I thought I was the next Steve Vai and needed an Ibanez lol

[@4stringz.]

Neal Moser’s guitars and basses are a tone chaser’s dream. Alongside the Stratocaster, it’s a perfect instrument.

[@ferox965]

I have a 1980 BC Rich Eagle deluxe bass. Got it for a crazy deal. The craftsmanship is no joke. Top shelf and REALLY powerful.

[@TomTobin67]

At 13:43 - I automatically did the horns up sign with my hand. It happened by instinct. Hahahahah!

[@SeanKerns]

loveLoveLOVE the Bich. I will own one someday. I think the concept of octaving the lower 4 strings, but leaving the top two un-octaved so you can still bend them is great.

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

I done bends on 12 string before but it takes some time to build it up and ensure both are in tune at end of bend.

[@edbadelt8618]

a tuned guitar sounds better, wrong string configuration

[@augustpendergast4478]

I have never seen a BC Rich Bich 10 where the E and A strings were doubled. Usually it’s the D, G, B, and E strings.

[@clockwork914]

I guess that was Dusty Stones wet dream guitar. Too weird to live & too rare to die.

[@elijahkelley7616]

I think they look absolutely badass.

[@edorissen]

I cant find a use for those additional strings, but the controls are awesome obviously

[@johnnybk20]

My research on Facebook come up with a possible previous owner of the guitar. You might try messaging him . Dustin Stone . Plays metal . Also builds his own guitars.

[@daveh9335]

I got to play one of these way back in the day at a music store. Sounded so far ahead of it's time. Wish I could have afforded it. 🍻😷

[@wadeguidry6675]

Rock it! My favorite guitar shape ever! I'd love to have a black 6 string version with a Les Paul control layout. This guitar is played like a 12 string. BC Rich figured that the B and E are actually just doubles and not octave strings so it wouldn't make any difference. I never put the octave G string on my acoustic 12 string because it always breaks.

[@gagelink4963]

i think a Gibson explorer with that wood pattern on the body would be really cool

[@stephenzaborski8656]

EVERY Gibson explorer is really cool.

[@michaellittlewood3032]

Yeah maybe a neck through design like a Bird but Explorer. What a beautiful world it could be?

[@jncpedley]

Would the phase switch have had more effect if both pickups had been selected?

[@MrSee-wc8oc]

Yes, it only works with both pickups on since it looks like it has to do with the way both neck and bridge phase together in this guitar's case. So every time you heard the middle position, that's the out-of-phase sound.

[@MrJoe526]

yea, it doesn't have any affect in just one pickup, the phase is how lined up the sound waves are, if they add together like they normally do it boosts certain frequencies. But flipping the phase causes destructive interference, mostly getting rid of low end, and makes it have that filtered quacky sound

[@ironbassist1971]

Jeff Hanneman use to play B.C. Rich Bich guitar & I play a Warlock guitar & a Beast Bass Both NJ Series I love these Guitars & Basses!

[@deviltronix]

B.C Rich always made great guitars.. There was a few years where class axe took over 89-93 where the quality dipped and then Bernie took over again until his death in 99. Even the Hanser era (2002-2010) produced some great stuff. Don't let the market, flooded with crappy imports, effect your opinion on what were some of the best guitars ever made.

[@kenfoland]

I love the BC Rich Bich. It's a damn sexy guitar. I have a 2012 ST 6-string hardtail. I installed a Kahler 2300C Pro tremolo & a 5514K stringlock. With the 2300, it is impossible to change pitch by laying your hand on the tremolo; it's rock solid. I love the guitar. But, it has a solid mahogany body that's a bit heavier than I'd like it to be. However, it looks, plays, and sounds great, and it's a lot of fun to play.

[@joermnyc]

Ken Foland my cousin had one with the trem... which he almost immediately broke because he got stupid with it.

[@kenfoland]

@@joermnyc I have had the misfortune of being the recipient of two counterfeit Kahler tremolos. They are crappie; not worth the investment, at any price. A real Kahler is practically unbreakable; bulletproof. When I finally replaced the counterfeits, the real one (bought directly from Kahler USA) weighed twice as much as the previous counterfeits. Luckily, the counterfeits were dimensionally correct. So, I was able to install it in the same footprint. The guitar immediately came to life and now sounds amazing. It's sustain is phenomenal.

[@whotendsthefire7234]

Such a beautiful instrument lots of sounds to pull out of that baby!

[@RoscoeBleach]

That guitar is just awesome and the 4 extra strings are on the top which is even better than the original 10 since you can shred on this

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

Why is everyone calling the top the bottom lol, fat string is low because we are talking to pitch not position, you should know this, Master Dime, lol.

[@joeturner7959]

Yes, but when I look at the nuts string angle its way off, but the nut has been cut for it. Must have replaced the nut. I do remember the pickups this way, Dimarzio PAF in the bridge, and DM Super distortion in the bridge. And its small strings first, like a Rick.

[@thomassmith7608]

Singer/guitarist Randy Jackson of the American rock band Zebra (not the American Idol/Taxi/Journey Randy Jackson) is probably the most notable for using the B.C. Rich Rich Bitch during live performances. I saw Zebra at a 95YNF Rockin' Halloween Bash at Busch Gardens in Tampa in the mid-eighties. Randy Jackson is an amazing singer and a fantastic guitarist, as well. Several years back, Randy Jackson performed in an Orchestral Tour of Led Zeppelin music, in which he both sang and played guitar over against a full orchestra. The woman who played a translucent electric violin on the tour was also fantastic. Bravo!

[@rushshukla4636]

The BC Rich Bich is the most beautiful guitar ever made. They can sell for up to £9K which proves their collectors status as a work of art. The 10 string neck thru design was pioneered by it's creator Neil Moser. Paul Chapman of UFO used to play them which is how I got into them. I once had a cheap body art model which was the closest I got to this iconic guitar. I would dream of owning a made in USA 10 string but don't have that kind of money. Maybe one day who knows! ?

[@Yostopactinjive]

Coolest guitar on the planet. Take off the extra strings an plug into a jcm 800. When I saw Joe Perry's on the live bootleg album I knew I had to switch from playing the drums to playing a bich.

[@wiseguy9202]

Weird. All the models I've ever seen of this had the 4 octave strings on the D, G, B, and E strings. Leaving the E and A string by themselves.

[@anthonyrosa5006]

My friend from High School had this EXACT guitar. When I brought him into the Rockabilly, Motown band I was playing with in the early 80s he decided to sell it as it didnt fit the gig.

[@janiterinadrum1627]

BC Rich was able to put together a guitar with a bunch of switches and knobs that looks really cool and very rock and roll. Some of those 60s Asian guitars with a bunch of switches and knobs didn't look quite as cool as this one. But Japan sure caught up 20,,25 years later

[@harriscl100]

That guitar looked strung wrong. I thought the bottom (E,B,G,A) are double strung, and the top two (D,E) are single. Your video showed D & E double strung. Very sought after and there is a remake available starting around 3K. The "Dragons Blood" is the one everyone looks for.

This guitar is actually called a B.C. Rich, Rich Bich. The Bich (aka B.C. Rich Bich) is a 6 string guitar while the 10 string models are Rich Bich models. Joe Perry played one for a while as seen here i.pinimg.com/564x/46/34/47/46344727592754b24084520b7af1054e.jpg and www.celebrityrockstarguitars.com/rock/perry_files/joeperry.jpg

Yo Trogly! Review more old school BC Rich guitars! 😁 If you're doing Fenders might as well.

[@stephenwallace2423]

Bit of confusion here regarding the functioning of the phase switch. A phase switch basically reverses the direction in which the signal runs through the coils. However, with only a single pickup in use, and both coils switched on (not coil tapped), there is really no change made to the signal, irrespective of which direction the signal travels. Consequently, as you only tried to use the phase switch with the bridge humbucker, there was no difference in the sound. Generally, a phase switch will be used on a guitar with two or more pickups, and to function, needs at least two pickups to be switched on. The phase switch will reverse the signal of the pickup it is connected to. When combined with the signal from the other pickup, this means that some of the signal will be cancelled out (due to reversed wave forms) to create a thinner sound. Not sure if the Bich is wired this way, but if a phase switch is wired after a coil tap switch, then another effect can be achieved, and this one WILL work with a single humbucker, but ONLY when using the coil tap. With only a single coil in the pickup functioning, using the phase switch will select which of the coils is actually being used. However, the change in sound is basically the same as taking a single coil equipped guitar, and moving the pickup half an inch - it's a very subtle difference.

[@derkeksinator17]

It works as it should, but it may be way to much for the tiny tubeamp... Also I think one of the switches is an additional boost and it has a built in od or screamer maybe. I think you'd have to look what exactly is in there.

I doubt that's a rose wood board . its most likely an ebony fretboard that's not fully black. Not all gaboon ebony is black only the core of the tree. Bc rich USA guitar very rarely have anything but ebony fretboard. Also that guitar was handmade and its probably one of the best guitar built ever

[@2112GTR]

It looks like rosewood to me when you see the fingerboard up close. It is very dark, but then I have a Schecter Hellraiser 7 string that looks like it's got a ebony board (from a distance), but it is actually a very dark brown rosewood one. Ebony tends to have a much tighter grain. You can actually "blacken" a rosewood fingerboard to be darker still, but the pores in the wood give it away up close. Usually, ebony would be used on the "Supreme" model BC Rich's, but because this guitar was custom ordered, I guess they specified a rosewood board, instead of ebony.
