Few Electric Guitarists have made the impact on the Metal Genre that the mighty Kerry King of Slayer has. For well over a quarter of a century his frantic solos and thunderous riffs have reigned supreme over those of lesser acts and have survived in a genre where few make it so far.
In order to get this far such an artist requires an Electric Guitar to be able to handle the relentless usage they are subjected to performance after performance. BC Rich guitars have been Kerry King's choice for many years. Here the B.C. Rich Kerry King Beast V N.T. Electric Guitar allows players of all skill levels, access to the quality required by a master of his craft at a price that's affordable.
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.
Neck-Through Construction
B.C. Rich is known as one of the pioneers in Neck Through construction. They utilize it on many of their guitars, because it provides the best possible sustain, resonance, comfort and access to higher frets. Neck-through has long been considered the premium construction method for high end guitars.
This construction starts with premium North American maple or Mahogany and runs from the tip of the headstock to the end of the guitar. This means that the headstock, fingerboard, pickups and bridge all are mounted to this single sound foundation. Sonically it is a difference you can hear. The neck-through construction also allows a cut away of more of the body and neck at the neck joint, which provides comfort that no bolt-on or set-neck could offer. You will find the neck through feature on all top of the line B.C. Rich models.
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).
