Bolt-on Construction
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.
Rockfield Pickups - Fat Ass
Bridge Pickups
Aggressive in its own right, the Rockfield FAT ASS bridge
pickup was designed for a specific group players in mind.
The players that have those crazy super acrobatic playing
styles that we all stare at in amazement. The ones at the
gig that make everything look so effortless and easy. As
you watch in amazement you say, “Man I need to practice” or
my favorite, “Crap, that’s it man I quit!” this
pickups custom designed bobbins house larger pole pieces
that help transfer string vibration from pulls, bends and
leads so the user gets less tonal drop off and better articulation
and note definition. The Rockfield FAT ASS has a well balanced
overall tone that is mean and bold with major sustain,
huge bottom end and cutting mids and highs that jump out
at you. Each note is full and rings true from this pickup
while you take advantage of a look that is that just plain
mean and in your face.
Neck Pickups
Great pickup for Bridge or neck but designed to compliment
the FATT ASS bridge pickup in the neck position. This
pickup, like the bridge position FAT ASS has a full round
tone that helps transfer string vibration from pulls,
bends and leads so the user gets less tonal drop off
and better articulation and note definition. This is
made possible by yes… the custom designed bobbins
that house the larger pole pieces. Custom wound with
a little less bite but still just as aggressive, this
pickup has great balance and sustain with a huge low
end response and mids and highs that scream and cut for
an tone that is truly inspiring.
Deep Arched Top
A deep arched top is used on several B.C. Rich models.
The deep arch is achieved by increasing the body center
by approximately
5/8" and then gently sloping the arch toward the side
of the instrument and leveling out just as the slope reaches
the edge. A deep arch top when applied to a B.C. Rich shape
gives an air of elegance and sophistication. Many of the
B.C. Rich Handcrafted instruments are requested with a deep
arch top style. This year B.C. Rich is offering more deep
arch tops in their production models in a variety of shapes
and colors.
