Bernie Rico Jr. Black Batch Hybrid

No. 11 of 30 – 2008

Description

Offered here is a rare Bernie Rico Jr. Black Batch hybrid, production number 11 of only 30 built. Instruments from this limited run are increasingly scarce, particularly examples that retain their original core components.

The guitar has been refinished in the green shown, while preserving its original natural-finish neck and original gold hardware, supplied by Bernie Rico Jr. It remains fitted with the original EMG 81 bridge pickup, and a Fernandes Sustainer has been professionally installed in the neck position. A PA2 boost is also installed and functions as intended, remaining fully bypassed when switched off.
The gold tremolo arm is included, though not pictured.

There is minor cosmetic paint wear on the headstock, caused by contact inside the case over time. This wear is purely cosmetic and relatively light, but noted here for full transparency. As a 2008 instrument, the guitar shows appropriate signs of age consistent with careful ownership.

The guitar ships in a high-quality aftermarket hardshell case, professionally packed by a specialist shipping company. Worldwide shipping is included in the price, which is substantial given shipment from Asia. Delivery to the United States is typically under seven days.

Payment via bank wire only. References and verification can be provided to ensure confidence for serious buyers.

Price: USD 3,300 — shipping included worldwide
