Hey Scorpion,

What ever happened to Dave's BC Rich Bich?

Dear scorpion,
As a guitarist I´m intersted of course in guitars. Does Dave still ownes the BC Rich he played in Metallica?

Best regards,
Leon from Germany

Unfortunately, the whereabouts of both guitars are currently unknown. I recently asked Dave about them and here is his reply:

"Both of these guitars, as well as all of the B.C. Rich’s were sold or stolen by the heroin addicts in the band at the time. I was really disappointed in my Rich Bich getting stolen, but that was the flip side of having Poland and Gar in the band."

The two guitars can be seen in the Gallery at Megadeth.com, under the Killing Is My Business and Peace Sells eras. Also check out the Arsenal of Megadeth and Megadeth: Behind The Music DVD's for more footage of the Rich Bich.
