BC Rich Stealth Model

The BC Rich Stealth Guitar was played by Rick Derringer, who also designed the guitar, and later played by Chuck Schuldiner of Death. The Stealth guitar is truly beautiful, and has amazing sound to go with it's looks.
Rick Derringer went to Gibson to make the original models.
 Gibson wanted to make it a set neck guitar and not a neck thru. So Rick took it to Bernie Rico and the rest is Rock N Roll History.  The Stealth is probably the nicest of all the BC Rich Guitars.  It balances the best and has a very comfortable feel sitting or standing.  Try one you will be surprised.

Edgar & Rick

Picture: Rick using his BC Rich Stealth 

Rick told me that he approached Gibson to build the Stealth model and they turned him down.

So naturally he asked Bernie Rico to do it and the BC Rich Stealth was born. It is one of the best designed, best balanced psuedo  guitars on the market.

I only got to see Rick with Edgar twice but what incredible shows! I was lucky, unexpectedly Johnny Winter showed up. If I live to be 1000 years old, I'll never forget their rendition of  Tobacco Road.

Recently Rick bought up all my old Stealth models that I had in my inventory.

BC Rich has discontinued manufacturing of the Stealth, these cooler than cool models.
