BC Rich bankrupt?

[Bringer of Chaos]

Yesterday a sales rep at Sam Ash told me that BC Rich went bankrupt. Anyone know anything about this. I am sure someone will buy them out and keep it going. Maybe everyone’s buddy Ed Roman can buy them again [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

That way all the BC Rich's can be early 70's look-a-likes for $3000.

Ed Roman never bought BC Rich in any way shape or form. Class Axe bought the rights to BC Rich years ago then Bernie Sr got the rights back. The only thing Ed has is a bunch of body blanks that are NOT from the pre-Class Axe era. All of those went to Neal Moser and GMW.

Judging by the poor quality/craftsmanship of their recent USA models, I'm wouldn't be surprised.

If they were to go bankrupt then it would be because of that stuff. My friend got an American made Mockingbird recently and I've got to say I was not impressed.

But then it's the case with lots of guitar companies. Build quality keeps falling while prices keep going up.

Exactly what I was thinking, Sam Ash got the Axe from BC and so now salesmen have to find out how to move the crap that´s already in stock ASAP [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
