The Masterpiece Bich is not short on looks or features. This bolt on guitar is an arch top with AAA quilted maple veneer. It is scaled to 24 5/8” with 24 jumbo frets and has a Rosewood fingerboard with block inlay. Additionally it has a string though body with a tune-o-matic bridge and two chrome covered humbucker pickups. This guitar will be offered in two striking colors Dragon Blood (Trans Red) and a new color for B.C. Rich – Sunfire.
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).
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.
