Rico began making electric guitars and basses in 1969, based on the Gibson Les Paul and the EB-3 bass, but very few of these were finished and even fewer survive today (before this, Rico had probably built about 300 acoustics). Eventually he branched out into repairing and building steel-string acoustics and banjos as folk music gained popularity in the '60s. When Bernardo Chavez Rico started working in his father’s East Los Angeles guitar shop in the mid-1950s, he specialized in flamenco guitars.
Rich evolved and how the innovations and craftsmanship of its early history laid the groundwork for its popular image.
The brand’s origins, however, are quite far removed from the popular image it took on beginning in the 1980s. Rich is virtually synonymous with outlandish pointy metal guitars. Controls include a separate bridge and neck volumes, a master tone, and a three-way toggle.Today, B.C. The neck also features a 43mm graphite nut, a dual action truss rod, and their traditional 3-per-side headstock with the old school trinity logo and die-cast tuning keys.Įlectronically, each guitar is fitted with the BCR1983 - Classic Reissue humbucker pickups in the neck and bridge positions. The 24 5/8” scale neck features a glossed modern “C” shape, 12” radius rosewood fretboard, jumbo frets, and BCR diamond white pearl inlays. The NJ Retro’s feature a maple neck-through-body with mahogany wings in either a Ferrari Red or Cherry Sunburst pearl finish. The NJ Retro series is available now through dealers and distributors worldwide. This series includes the Warlock, Mockingbird, and Bich models. These electric guitars are a throwback to the classic 1980s NJ models built in Nagoya, Japan.
