With production beginning in 1972, the first 350 guitars were numbered sequentially. In 1974 a system of serial number coding began using a 5 digit code with the first 2 digits indicating the year and the last 3 indicating the place in production. Because of increased demand and production late 70s and early 80's serial coding, as it relates to identifying year of production, began to become inconsistent. By 1980 the numbers were 2 years ahead, and by 1982 year coding was off by 4 years. Current American made B.C. Rich serial numbers follow the year and number of guitars format.
