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.
