Hi,

I have a BC Rico Acoustic Guitar - inside the guitar I can read "hand crafted in Japan and the model # RW-0.

It is in excellent condition.

Can you give me an idea of the value??

Thanks,

John

ANSWER

Hi, John--

This information is from Wikipedia (bold added by me):

"Bernardo Chavez Rico (born October 13, 1941 – December 3, 1999)1 was an American luthier specializing in guitars. Known as Bernie Rico Sr. or simply B.C., Rico was born in East Los Angeles California. Working with his father, Rico began his career building banjos and ukuleles in the 1950s. Rico's original instruments were acoustic guitars made under the name B.C. Rico. These acoustic guitars are very rare with approximately 300 surviving."

I was unable to find any specific information about the specific model of your guitar, or of any of the B.C. Rico acoustic guitars. I think it would be worth your while to contact them since these guitars are so rare.

The best I can do is to give you the contact info for B.C. Rich. If there is another guitar that you want evaluated, let us know--no charge.
