You Can Buy Chuck Schuldiner’s Green B.C. Rich, But That Won’t Make You Good at Guitar

A piece of death metal history is up for sale online and it’s yours if you’ve got suuuuuuper deep pockets. Over on eBay right now, you can get your hands on Death frontman Chuck Schuldiner‘s custom Emerald Green B.C. Rich Stealth.

According to a Facebook post on Death’s official page, Schuldiner’s nephew Chris Steele is selling the guitar “due to extenuating circumstances.” The full item description over on the auction page is as follows:

“Up for auction is Chuck Schuldiner’s USA made, custom shop, Emerald Green B.C. Rich Stealth. I would date the guitar around mid to late nineties due to some B.C. Richs leaving the custom shop without serial numbers, this being one of them.

“It is in absolutely remarkable shape, Chuck never took it on the road but did use it in the studio from time to time. It’s exactly the way Chuck left it aside from a new pot and knob. Chuck removed the knob at some point and never replaced it.

“I’m also including the original pot for historical value. It’s strung appropriately with 10 gauge GHS Boomers. I provide a personalized COA upon close of auction and payment. If shipped overseas I will remove the strings to preserve the integrity of the neck. Good luck and happy bidding.”

I wouldn’t personally sell such an instrument with so much metal history imbued in it, but to each their own. Good news for Steele, however, is the fact that it’s generated $20,500 out of 60 bids. With more than eight days left for bids to come in, there’s a good chance the guitar will fetch a pretty penny.
