i have been searching over a month now online for a B.C. Rich Stealth model and I haven't seen a single one anywhere. what up with that?

[Lavabug]

they are no longer in production afaik

they pop up on the bc rich junkies page every now and then, I think not many were made

It seems they don't even have a website.
Just a facebook page.

Ever since Bernie Rico left the company, I've always felt that they were somewhat of a 'lame' guitar company. Like If you want to buy a decent BC Rich, you'd be better off looking at Ebay or Craigslist or whatnot for a decent BC Rich guitar.

Nowadays, when I think of metal guitar brands, it's always Ibanez, ESP, and Jackson and I feel that those companies will always make better guitars than BC Rich can ever hope for in this time.

i'd give them business if they'd sell me a stealth!

Looks like Kerry King is the only one keeping BC Rich alive today.

sounds pretty stealthy

they do have a website still, but it looks like it got delisted from all the major search engines

https://www.bcrich.com/

also seems they've discontinued just about everything besides the warlock/mockingbird save for a couple random models at the low end of the spectrum

Yeah.... I'm with shadowalk. It's a bit of a lame company now. I would add Majones to the serious brands.

They've had a few relatively recent runs that were quality.

I ironbird pro from 2014 I think is pretty decent. My mock stc from 2015 or so is an amazing guitar, a guitarcenter exlusive I think. The ST series from the same year are even better and can be had cheap.

But stealths and ironbirds past 2014 I think are unheard of besides the chuck and mark rizzo signatures. And post 2016 stuff after the change in management was $800+ for made in china stuff with poor QC.

The BCR name is apparently up for sale and I heard a rumor Slash may have bought it.
