These updated American Standard Stratocaster guitars are beauties to behold in sound, look and feel.

Fender also reduced the amount of the American Strat's undercoat to let the body breathe, thus, improving this guitar's resonance.

The BC Rich Avenge Son Of Beastis designed to rock! At 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 to the body. This construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides the option to change the neck in the future. BC Rich Guitars No guitar sounds or looks more like heavy metal than B.C. Rich. From the outrageous Beast guitar to the infamous Bich and Mockingbird to the legendary Warlock models, B.C. Rich electric guitars have earned their rock-solid reputation on concert stages around the world. That's why influential players, such as Slayer's Kerry King, have made B.C. Rich guitars their weapon of choice. From stunning, handmade custom guitars to affordable standard series guitars, B.C. Rich has the right guitar at the right price for every player. When you need vicious tones, consummate playability and drop-dead looks, you need B.C. Rich. AmericanMusical.com is an authorized dealer of BC Rich products.

Dean Guitars was born in 1976, in the attic of the Chicago suburban childhood home of company founder Dean B. Zelinsky. The eighteen-year-old Zelinsky was convinced that guitar design and manufacturing had hit a wall. Rock music was huge and guitar makers were failing to keep up with the times. The world was ready for a guitar that looked, played, and sounded superior to what was available from manufacturers at that time. Zelinsky had a better idea. What followed was a line of electric guitars that for the first time allowed players to play to their potential. With its highly visible V-shaped headstock and trademark wing logo, Dean became in effect, the first boutique guitar line in the history of rock music. These guitars had to be played to be believed, and played they were! Dean guitars started showing up on rock stages worldwide, album covers, and especially on the newly emerging channel called MTV . Dean Guitars were featured in the award-winning MTV Video of the Year three of the first four years running. By the time Dean created the famous Spinning Fur Guitars Dean"s early place in Rock history was firmly cemented. Over a quarter century later, you can still buy that same USA made boutique Dean Guitar. Today, Dean Guitars has taken that same concept of creating a superior instrument to a whole new level. Dean is now a full line of fretted instruments including electric and acoustic guitars, basses, jazz guitars, resonators, banjos and mandolins. More importantly, Dean is dedicated to delivering these fine quality instruments at a value that is second to none. -- No longer do you need to be a platinum selling artist to play Dean!
