BC Rich Avenge Son Of Beast Electric Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
Strike fear into the hearts of your enemies with the BC Avenge Son Of Beast. This axe snarls with a single, uncovered pickup and jagged design.

The BC Rich Avenge Son Of Beast is designed to rock! 10% smaller than his cousin the Beast, this SOB, with its beveled body, is quickly becoming a BC Rich favorite. This SOB features a rosewood fingerboad, a red-edged Beast style headstock, a single high output humbucker pickup with a single volume, bolt on neck, black hardware, blood red bevels and beast wing inlay!

Beveled Top

The Avenge Son of Beast employs 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.

BC Rich BDSM Pickups

BC 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 Construction

The Avenge SOB, like a number of B.C. Rich guitars, uses a classic Bolt-on construction. On these instruments a neck (typically maple) is bolted on with 4 screws read more to the body. This construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides the option to change the neck in the future. read less

I couldn't wait for this to come in... I was on my lunch break when it did, so I couldn't do much with it at the time. But, the weight surprised me Ina wonderful way. I have a R.R. flying v neck through and I'm pretty sure the b.c. rich weighs at or less than my v. The single bdsm pickup has the perfect tone and pinch harm spot. The sound resonates so well. Feels good to play. And it's gorgeous.
