Full Description
View Full DescriptionFishman Fluence Humbuckers
When playing certain styles of music, particularly metal, you need pickups that are especially versatile at giving you full tonal range with a response that reacts well with your distortion effects so you can bring high output grit into your sound. Well, the pair of Fishman Fluence pickups that drive the heart of the Warbeast Extreme do just that! Pushing the boundaries of what you expect from standard pickups, the Fishman pair really shine through and offer you the ultimate tones for every situation whether you're playing full chords or fluid solos.
They provide a voice for both active and passive scenarios so you can power them up for crisp searing crunch and full range explosiveness or leave them unpowered and still gain organic tones capable of superb distortion effects. One thing you can be sure of whatever way you use them, there will be no thin, plinky tones emanating from your set-up.
Neck-through-body construction
We've all been there, playing a solo and just wish you had that little bit more reach to get up to the higher regions of the fretboard. Often guitars have bolt-on or, glue-in necks which mean a heel gets in the way and can hold you back from expressing yourself fully. B.C. Rich has eliminated this problem offering you full access to the frets previously thought unreachable. Firstly, a neck-through-body design allows for one piece of wood to be used which then negates the need for a heel and allows you to get right up to where you need to be.
Not only that, but the aptly named 'Shredzilla' necks from B.C. Rich feature deep cut, ultra-slim contouring which offers next level reach compared to other manufacturers that use the neck-through-body design. To top it all off, the neck is satin finished and the fingerboard itself is crafted with Indian Ebony, gifting you the smoothest play possible so you can shred those solos with ultimate speed and fluency.
Floyd Rose tremolo system
The B.C. Rich Warbeast Extreme has been meticulously designed with speed and playability as a must. With this in mind, an important part of that is the necessity to stay in tune throughout your solos especially when you're utilising techniques such as tapping and bending. Well, the double-locking Floyd Rose 1000 Series system gifts you unmatched stability, so you can bend to your heart's content and not have to worry about ever slipping out of tune. Its discrete and subtle design doesn't detract from the overall visual majesty of the guitar so you can be sure that you'll look as good as you sound. Floyd Rose systems also offer you elite expression so you can add effects such as divebombing to your ever-growing, guitar technique arsenal.
