Joe Perry

"When you think of Joe Perry this is the other guitar people think of. This is the Blinged version of the BC Rich Bich 10. This is the 10 string, and what this does is the D, G, B and the high E are all unison and these strings are actually different gauges because it gives it a little bit different sound, a little more clarity. It gives it that good warble. He uses this one on 'Living on the Edge' and whatever else he wants - this is a drop-D. The switches are all disconnected. They all do different things but for what we're using it for right now it became a lot easier for us just to make it a volume and a tone. So I rewired past all these because we would hit something and it would change the whole complexity of the tone, so we just went back to the volume and tone Les Paul style. So that's the BC Rich," says Joe Perry's guitar tech.

Ric Ocasek

Sometime toward the later end of The Cars initial album tour, Ric Ocasek and Elliot Easton got some B.C. Rich guitars, Elliot got a left-handed Mockingbird, and Ric this right handed 10-string Bich model. The guitar was used from the later part of the 1st album tour, and the recording of Candy-O and Panorama in 1980. It's easy to tell what songs the Bich 10-string is used on because Ric Ocasek rarely, if almost never, uses any pedals in his sound, so songs with the B.C. Rich on them sound like there is a chorus or a 12-string guitar when he hits the higher strings. "Since I Held You" off of Candy-O, both here and on the Musikladen performance, has this sound to it. Supposedly and Eventually the guitar was repainted black, turned into a six string (maybe), and eventually found it's way to a Hard Rock Cafe in an airport in India. Ric stopped using the B.C. Rich around the time of Shake It Up at the latest. A picture of this guitar in it's present state was availible on Hard Rock Cafe's website under memoribelia.

George Kooymans

Here's a clip of a sync performance on Dutch TV from the 80's where we can see on of the B.C. Rich Bich guitars Kooeyman's uses the most showing that it's a 10-string model guitar. It seems this one has been around a lot and had lots of modifications and changes over it's life time. It also appears to be a favorite because it seems from 1982 onward we see George use this guitar almost exclusively and very rarely changes to anything else live.
