• ASM 1

  Although the BC Rich ASM 1 is one of the BC Rich beginner guitar models it doesn't stint on looks, features or construction. It features a basswood body with a flat top and an arm bevel for comfort. The neck is bolt-on made of maple with a 24 jumbo fret, rosewood fretboard with diamond position inlays. The headstock is BC Rich's 6-in-line pointed style with BC Rich die-cast tuners.
  
  For great sonic possibilities, the BC Rich ASM 1 has a 25 1/2 inch scale length, a growling tone provide by two BC Rich BDSM humbucking pickups and a vintage tremolo bridge. To round out the package, the ASM 1 sports chrome hardware with a tone control, volume control and a three way toggle switch for pickup selection. If you're looking for a beginner Metal guitar with conservative looks and wicked sound, the BC Rich ASM 1 is worth taking a look at.



• ASM Standard

  The BC Rich ASM Standard is by no means "standard" even though its name contains the word. Bred to shred is the phrase that comes to mind. Price wise the ASM Standard may be in the price range that I class as being "beginner level" but its features are not.
  
  The BC Rich ASM Standard features a mahogany body with a quilted maple top for great looks and tone, a bolt-on maple neck with a 24 jumbo fret fretboard and a 6-inl-ine pointed headstock with BC Rich die-cast tuners.
  
  If you want serious Heavy Metal sonic mayhem, you've got it. The BC Rich ASM Standard boasts two Rockfield Mafia pickups and let me tell you from personal experience that Rockfields kick some serious sonic butt(my WMD Warbeast uses Rockfields - it's a face melter). The ASM Standard's bridge is a Floyd Rose Special tremolo. To finish things off, the volume control, tone control and pickup selector switch are chrome. I've heard these guitars in action and even though they are in the price range that I class as a BC Rich beginner guitar, I can guarantee you that BC Rich ASM Standard doesn't know it's a "beginner guitar". This one is a little above the $300 price point but it's well worth it.



• Warlock One

  The BC Rich Warlock One is an entry level but by no means shoddy instrument. The body of the guitar is agathis which, although an inexpensive wood, produces a nice tone. The neck construction is bolt-on. The neck material is maple with the back of the neck being natural satin. The fretboard is rosewood with 24 jumbo frets. The Warlock Guitar's headstock is the 6 inline pointed style with die cast tuners.
  
  The BC Rich Warlock Guitar has a 25 1/2 inch scale length with a wrap-around adjustable bridge. The guitar sports two BC Rich BDSM humbucking pickups - one at the bridge and one at the neck. To round out the package, the Warlock Guitar is fitted with chrome hardware and painted glossy black. All in all, this a great, relatively inexpensive BC Rich beginner guitar.

  The BC Rich Warlock Widow is a great BC Rich beginner guitar. It features a nato(Eastern Mahogany) body for great tone, a maple neck with a natural satin finish on the back of the neck and a 24 jumbo fret rosewood fretboard with pearloid position inlays. The head stock is the Widow style with die-cast tuners. The Warlock Widow's scale length is 25 1/2 inches.
  
  The BC Rich Warlock Widow gets a wicked sound from two BC Rich BDSM humbucking pickups and a Tune-O-Matic bridge. The hardware is chrome and consists of a tone knob, a volume knob and a thre way toggle switch for pickup selection. The Warlock Widow is a great choice for the beginner or intermediate level guitarist.

  The BC Rich Kerry King Metal Master Warlock is a mid-level guitar well suited to the intermediate player. With Kerry's endorsement you know this is a good playing and sounding instrument. The Metal Master Warlock has an agathis body with a bolt-on rosewood neck with 24 jumbo frets, a natural satin back and rosewood fretboard with a SOB Beast headstock sporting BC Rich diecast tuners.

• Revenge Warlock

  The BC Rich Revenge Warlock is another mid-range model. The technical specifications of the guitar are the same as for the Kerry King Metal Master with a couple of differences. The bridge is a Tune-O-Matic with a stop bar tailpiece rather than a wraparound bridge. The color scheme is either white with black binding or onyx with white binding with the headstock painted to match. The neck is maple rather than rose wood. In addition, the headstock is the Widow style.
  
  The BC Rich Revenge Warlock is another cool looking, good sounding and playing guitar that would make a good choice for the beginning to intermediate player.



• Virgin VG1

  The BC Rich Virgin VG1 is a great looking, great playing and great sounding guitar. The Virgin VG1 has an agathis body for a nice, warm tone and a bolt-on maple neck with a natural satin finish on the back of the neck. The fretboard is rosewood with 24 jumbo frets, pearloid dot position inlays and BC Rich's trademark Widow headstock with BC Rich die-cast tuners.
  
  Adding to the BC Rich Virgin VG1's take no prisoners metal sound are two BC Rich BDSM humbucking pickups and a fixed, wraparound bridge. The VG1 sports chrome hardware and has a 25 1/2inch scale length. Even though the BC Rich Virgin VG1 falls in the price range that I consider to be a BC Rich beginner guitar level, this is not a guitar to be taken lightly. If you want Metal, here it is.



• Masterpiece Bich

  The BC Rich Masterpiece Bich is not only one of the most unique looking guitars on the market, it's also one of the first BC Rich extreme shapes ever created(Dave Mustaine of Megadeth played one of the original models durings his days with Metallica). The Masterpiece Bich has an agathis body with a AAA, quilted veneer arched top and white binding. Its maple neck is of bolt-on construction with a 24 jumbo fret, rosewood fretboard with cloud styled position inlays and a traditionally styled, three tuners to a side headstock with white binding. The tuners are BC Rich die-cast tuners.
  
  The BC Rich Masterpiece Bich is a great sounding guitar, deriving its sound from two BC Rich BDSM humbucking pickups, a Tune-O-Matic bridge and string-thru-body construction for added tone and sustain. Rounding out the package is chrome hardware. Regardless of the fact that the Masterpiece Bich falls in the price range that I consider to be BC Rich beginner guitar level, you'll be getting more for your money than you would with many guitars costing twice as much.



• Ironbird 1

  The BC Rich Ironbird 1 has one of the shapes that I consider to be one of the best looking shapes for any Metal guitar. Strap one of these on and there will be no doubt about what you're there for(if you were around in the day, you could have seen Paul Stanley of KISS playing one of the original models). The Ironbird 1's jagged, edgy shape just flat out screams HEAVY METAL!!!!
  
  The jagged, lightning bolt shaped body is basswood with a beveled top. Its maple neck is bolt-on with a rosewood, 24 jumbo fret fretboard with dot inlays and a 6-in-line pointed headstock with BC Rich die-cast tuners.
  
  The BC Rich Ironbird 1 gets its ripping, Metal sound from two high output BC Rich BDSM humbucking pickups and a Tune-O-Matic bridge. It also sports chrome hardware for volume, tone and pickup selection. This is another BC Rich beginner guitar that delivers and delivers BIG TIME!

• Celtic Virgo

  Now here is one of my personal favorites of all the BC Rich guitar shapes. The BC Rich Celtic Virgo looks more like a weapon than a guitar.
  
  The BC Rich Celtic Virgo features a beveled, nato mahogany body and a bolt-on rosewood, 24 jumbo fret fretboard with Celtic Knot inlays and a Beast headstock.
  
  The BC Rich Celtic Virgo blasts out the sound from two high output BC Rich BDSM humbucking pickups. Adding to the tonal onslaught is a wrap-around, fixed bridge. To round out the look, the Celtic Virgo sports pewter, Celtic design hardware. This is one BC Rich beginner guitar that doesn't know its a beginner guitar.
  
  If the ancient Celts had had one of these to use for marching music the Romans would have run all the way back to Rome with their tails between their legs.

  The specifications on the BC Rich Trace Warbeast are virtually identical to the Trace Warbeast T with only a couple of exceptions. The neck and body construction are the same as the Trace Warbeast T, however, the bridge is a Tunomatic rather than a tremolo. In addition, the Trace Warbeast features a string-thru-body construction which provides great tone and sustain.
  
  The Trace Warbeast features the same color scheme as the Trace Warbeast T for a very cool, sinister look. All in all, the BC Rich Trace Warbeast is a great BC Rich beginner guitar with a great sound and high quality construction and materials.
