B.C. Rich Exotic Classic Assassin Electric Guitar Koa

Jun 30, 2009 B.C. Rich Electric Guitars

The ASM Exotic Classic cuts no corners! With an exotic koa veneer with ebony stringers top, neck-through construction, ebony fretboards and stringers and coil-tapped Rockfield Mafia pickups, this may be the ultimate BC Rich flat top!Neck-Through Construction Neck-Through construction is used on the Mockingbird ST 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 a long piece (or pieces) of premium North American maple. That piece runs from the tip of the headstock to the strap button on the opposite 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 deeper cutaways, providing comfort no bolt-on or set neck could offer.Rockfield Mafia Pickups The Rockfield Mafia pickup is the perfect choice for that warm, overdriven tone that has made some of the world’s leading guitarists famous. These custom high output pickups cut through any mix with loud and proud authority, all the while maintaining an extreme balance and note definition. The overall tone is clear and rings true in any format with booming low ends and crisp mids and highs that are what timeless music is made from.Flat Top The Exotic Classic Deluxe Assassin is constructed with a flat top. The flat top styling gives a bold and pristine look to the edge of the instrument’s shape. The binding on a flat top finishes off the edge cleanly and gives a sleek and clean look to the instrument.

Every guitar lover has imagined their own dream guitar. Now, with the Popular Demand series, Gibson Custom offers special-edition guitars based on feedback they’ve received from friends, fans, players, stars, and even people at Gibson all offering great ideas. The guitars of the Popular Demand series take their inspiration from Gibson’s past- obscure, famous, infamous, or mythical-and from all the letters and e-mails they have received over the years that start with, “I have the coolest idea for a guitar….”And now, by popular demand, The Gibson Les Paul Super Custom. It starts with a distinctive figured, carved maple top, but then throws you a curve. Instead of a mahogany body, the Super Custom has a bookmatch solid maple back and exquisite 5-piece curly maple/walnut neck that both add a bit more brightness to the overall tone. A pair of ’57 Classic humbuckers dish out that cherished “Patent Applied For” sound. The bridge pickup has zebra bobbins and the neck pickup has a gold cover. The Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge has more room to move the saddles for for greater intonation adjustment. The TOM and the stopbar tailpiece ensure total transfer of string energy to the maple body for maximum resonance and sustain. Gold tulip Grover tuners provide class and rock-solid tuning. Your Gibson Les Paul Super Custom will look like no other. Because of the nature of all-solid tone woods, the exact color and natural figuring of the wood will be unique to each instrument.
