Below is the comment from Richkroll.

Based on what I've seen and gotten info from the California shop Here's what I've seen. Serial #'s from about 72/73 till about 75 (Have yet to see one :of this format later that 75) the first digit is the year Exp if it's a 3 it's 73, 4 74 and 5 1975. The books say they changed the serial # scheme in 74 to the curret YYXXXX with YY the year and XXXX production #'s but I've seen real BC Rich's with the old style #'s to 1975. anyway the next 1 or 2 digits tell the month it was made and the last 3 tell the production # I know in 1974 that number rolled over. (I have a 1974 B-45 made December with a single digit production # and a 1974 B-38 made in May with a production # in the 400's) They are both made in the US The B-45 Was signed on the block by Bernie.

This pick up is modified for B.C.Rich by Guild.

There is S/N also in back side of head with old imperial tuner(this tuner is reissue model).

Narrow rod cover with old R logo. pre-83xxx serial models has the oldest R-logo. There is a small projection center of the left side.

Control Cabity. 2Vol 1Tone 1 balancer with no baritone and no booster. 2tap and 1 phase.

Very sharp shape arround of swith cover.

Original metal knob. The switches are probably original.

Bridge is changed to current Badass.
