The son of B.C. Rich's founder has started making Bernie Rico Jr. Guitars with the Vixen (pictured) one of the first models. These custom designed instruments are handmade in a tradition handed down from grandfather to father and then to son.

Most have mahogany bodies and maple tops with 25 1/2-inch scales while the basses are made with 34-inch scales. All body styles are available for guitar and bass with standard or deluxe configurations.
The Vixen's standard features are: alder wings(mahogany on Deluxe), maple neck through module (mahogany on Deluxe), ebony fretboard with twisted 3D star inlays. Electronics and pickups are: one each volume and tone controls with a three-way switch, Seymour Duncan SH 2N and SH pickups. The Vixen comes with a tune-o-matic style bridge, Grover Imperial Tuners all in black (chrome on deluxe).

To provide a signed certificate of authenticity, Rico Jr. personally signs the headstock of every Bernie Rico Jr. guitar as a symbol of his pride in the quality of the instrument.
