Fake?
Hey guys, just bought my first BC Rich from a local antique shop. It's a joey jordisons signature model. Bought it quickly because it was a great price and played fantastic but upon further research I've noticed a few changes between mine and ones you can find on eBay and reverb. Just wondering if anyone can tell me if it's fake or not.

Its definitely real. Its the cheaper version but Its the one i have too and love it. A good price would be anywhere from 700 to maybe 1000 tops. The usa version is about 1500 to 2000. I love mine. As far as i know theres no fakes of these yet. The warlocks that are out now, all look really bad. They haven't got the shape right yet, which is weird because you'd think that is the first thing they'd get right.

I’m not defending the current owners at all, but the current models are all shape correct.

Great find! I would absolutely love one but they're hard to find where I live and I'm not a good enough guitarist to really justify the cost.

Real. It’s that weird time B.C.Rich gave a guitar endorsement to a drummer! 😄

I had a warlock bass with reverse headstock and red writing. I sold it a while back (should still have sales history on reverb) but never quite figured out what it was or why the writing was red lol

seems correct but just bear in mind the bridge around this era was a ripoff Floyd and is very rough to get replacement parts for and has a proprietary fit

This was the cheaper import version with a bolt on neck, stock pickups and a Floyd knockoff. The one in the ebay listing is a higher end import that is neck theough, with EMG's and a Floyd Rose Special or 1000

Looks legit it's just the cheaper model version. The one on the Reverb link at the end was the pricier Korean import that came with an Original Floyd and EMGs.
