Bernardo Chavez Rico, the founder of BC Rich Electric Guitars was actually a Flamenco guitar player by preference.

In 1969 the company began a tentative production of BC Rich electric guitars and BC Rich basses, largely at that time they were copies. By the early 1980s several original designs were available including the famous Warlock. Heavy metal bands immediately took to the distinctive shapes of BC Rich guitars. The rest is history.
