NOS? Maybe a few hundred...
I saw a few in great shape go for $125 or so on an auction site (not eBay) so I wasn't too sure...

Some one in a Poison tribute band would love it. If it was an american made you could get bank. I believe the U.S. made were called St III and the Platinum were just ST's. I have the same one as in the pic but mine is Glitter Rock White. Got it for Christmas 1988 :)

I've always dug pink guitars, and stumbled on this one. You're right about the ST III/ST naming. Glitter Rock White?! I gotta see a picture.

I'll post one tomorrow. BC had cool names for there paint jobs back then. I remember Glitter rock White & Poison Green. I'd have to look at the old catalogs to see the other names.

Here's a sad one; CC gave me his pink "CC" BC Rich after he took it apart on a bender back in 1991 or so. I could only get $100 for it at the time.

Damn ... I love all the BC's still have 6. I'm still trying to figure out who owned an XP100 I have (Explorer). It has a money bag logo on it. I bought it at Guitar Guitar back in 91ish. The guy said it belonged to a player from House Of Lords (Lanny I'm guessing). He said it was the Simmons Records label logo. I had someone else say it belonged to Warrant ?!?!? I posted a pic on here some years back and never heard anything. Maybe I can get a hold of Lanny ???

That thing has a VERY cheesy low-grade licensed Floyd on it. It is the BC Rich equivalent of a Squier Strat for its time. If you just want the look it's worth $100; as a guitar with a locking trem, it's worthless.

Yea, I know. Dumb sale, but who wanted to own a pink guitar?

Yeah I know. They don't stay in tune. It was my first B.C. when I was 13. I wouldn't buy it to use as a main guitar or anything, but they look cool hanging on my wall.

Maybe if you blocked the trem. Those trems are useless, the guitar is probably plywood, and you can't even put a proper Floyd in without filling, redrilling and rerouting because the dimensions are all wrong. Then you'd have to repaint the thing - if you want a pink guitar you'd be better off taking a decent axe and painting it - less expense and a better guitar in the end. Now if you want something to smash, there's your axe!

Anyone interested in a Marshall Mosfet 100 head & 4x12 Crate cabinet w/ Celestians* ? Tired of the flakes on Craigslist. I'll let them go cheap. Mainly want to get rid of the cabinet.

The cabinet used to belong to Autograph. Stencil of their name may still be on it.

You'd get more selling them on Ebay than locally. L.A. market is glutted. I know it's a pain to ship but you charge $100 to ship the cab and $50 to ship the head, and use Fedex Ground and you'll come out ahead.

Well if I still lived in L.A. I'd snap it up! But I don't really need a 412 as I have 2 already, and I am 2000 miles away, so sorry I can't help you!
