BC Rich Avenge Son of Beast Electric Guitar

Full Description

It's pretty safe to say that no other manufacturer of Electric Guitars focuses more heavily on the needs of the heavier player than BC Rich. The weapon of choice for the indomitable Kerry King has been a BC Rich for many a year and can be seen (and heard) Slayer's most recent outing in support of World Painted Blood album. Zoltan Bathory of Five Finger Death punch can be seen playing BC Rich Electric Guitars on tour

As well as these two behemoths of metal, BC Rich guitars are the weapons favoured by the likes of Brian Fair of Shadows Fall, CJ Pierce of Drowning Pool and Jason Krause of Kid Rock fame. These truly unique guitars are a force to be reckoned with. Can you tame one of these monsters of metal?

B.C. Rich BDSM Pickups

B.C. Rich designed their BDSM humbucking pickups to provide a solid sound and to be durable while delivering high output. BDSM stands for Broad Dynamic Sonically Matched. Which simply means that the pickup is designed to reproduce a wide range of frequencies accurately (broad dynamic). Then they are tested and matched in pairs (Neck and Bridge) by their inherent individual and signature tonal and output characteristics to give a solidly balanced tone (sonically matched).

Bolt-On

A number of B.C. Rich guitars use a classic Bolt-on construction. On these instruments a neck (typically maple) is bolted on with 4 screws to the body. This construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides the option to change the neck in the future.

Beveled Top:

Most of B.C. Rich body styles employ a beveled edge around the shape. In many ways bevels on a top are similar to facets on a cut stone. They catch the light and reflect at different angles giving the instrument more of a three dimensional look. Some of the B.C. Rich top bevels are extreme and wide while others are subtle and narrow. Occasionally the shape of the instrument is accented by painting the bevels a contrasting color.
