Bernie Rico Jr. Alias 2001 Transparent Red

No sales tax for customers outside California.

This appears to be an early Bernie Rico Jr Alias, made in 2001.  It bears his signature on the back of the headstock and an early headstock design you don't see on others.

Bernie Jr took over BC Rich in 1999 when his father passed.  The company quickly changed hands and Bernie began making Rico Jr guitars in 2001.  

While there is no way to use the serial number to date the guitar, the original potentiometer dates to mid 1999.  

This is a high quality guitar, made by Bernie Jr himself. It features a classic, neck through design.  It set up extremely well with low action and room left in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments.  The frets show very light wear.  There are no repairs or isssues.

Includes what I assume is the original hardshell case.
