Members Robfin Posted April 29 Members Share Posted April 29 Hey friends, I just scored a free guitar from a community cleanup and I can’t believe how it sounds after a new set of strings and some cleaning. Anyone know the history of this guitar? Labeled a dw-300 but looks like a Martin D-35 when I searched an image of the back. Any insights would be great. https://photos.app.goo.gl/nux9aq6RpnQSTWs96 thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any insights would be great. https://photos.app.goo.gl/nux9aq6RpnQSTWs96 thanks That is a unbelievable find! Many BCR acoustics sell well over $1000. I am more familiar with their older electrics [having briefly owned a Seagull]; as there is no serial number, and I could not find any reference to a 'DW' series, I suggest you contact BC Rich [now in Florida]. support@bcrich.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted May 1 Members Share Posted May 1 Lovely guitar. Here's one going for $899+shipping: https://reverb.com/item/80348061-rare-1980s-bc-rich-bw-300-acoustic-guitar I'd inspect it carefully and be prepared to humidify it since it's probably close to 50 years old. Unfortunately, I can't offer any constructive comments beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the one I linked has an artificially inflated asking price, having been allegedly owned by Mitch Perry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
