BC Rich Bich Deluxe 1984 Transparent Blue Quilt Maple

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This 1984 BC Rich Bich Deluxe in Transparent Blue is a quintessential example of high-performance guitar design from the golden era of ’80s rock and metal. The Bich Deluxe combines eye-catching looks with serious build quality and tone that made BC Rich a staple on stages and in studios during the height of the shred era. 

This example is in amazingly clean and all-original condition with very light fret wear and no issues. It plays effortlessly and feels exactly like a great ’80s performance guitar should—inspiring, and full of attitude.  It is a thing to behold in person - a stunning example of Bernie Rico's incredible and unique work. 

The quilt maple top adds snap and clarity to the attack while enhancing sustain and visual impact, and the overall construction delivers a powerful, articulate voice that excels at tight rhythm work and soaring lead tones. The neck profile is fast and comfortable, built for speed, wide bends, and technical playing, while the guitar remains balanced and playable despite its dramatic shape. Clean tones stay focused and clear, and when driven, the Bich Deluxe roars with authority and definition, cutting through any mix with ease.

As with all instruments at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and professionally set up to play its absolute best.

We buy, sell, and take trades.
