BC Rich USA Custom Hand-Built Bass Guitar — One-of-One Masterpiece by Bernardo Rico

Offered is an exceptionally rare BC Rich USA custom hand-built bass guitar, personally crafted by Bernardo Rico, the founder and visionary behind BC Rich Guitars. This instrument represents a true one-of-one creation, built at the highest level of BC Rich’s USA custom shop legacy.

The bass features a highly figured, carved top, paired with an equally highly figured custom paint finish, showcasing extraordinary depth, movement, and craftsmanship. Every detail reflects Bernardo Rico’s original design philosophy—bold aesthetics, precision construction, and uncompromising quality.

This instrument holds unique provenance: after its completion, it remained within Bernardo Rico’s personal inventory before later being held by his son. It was purchased directly from his son, providing a clear and direct lineage tied to the founding family of BC Rich.

Instruments personally built by Bernardo Rico are exceedingly scarce, and bass guitars of this caliber are rarely seen on the open market. This piece stands not only as a world-class musical instrument, but also as a historically significant collector’s artifact from one of the most influential figures in modern electric guitar design.

Ideal for serious collectors, discerning players, or BC Rich historians seeking an authentic, investment-grade example of USA custom craftsmanship.
