The BC Rich Prophecy Series is aimed at guitarists who have their eyes firmly fixed on the future! Forward-thinking designs, cutting-edge features and modern finishes make these instruments perfect for boundary-pushing players after maximum performance.
The Shredzilla 8 Archtop is a sleek double cut 8 string designed with shredders and metal players in mind. Featuring an ergonomic body shape and a no heel, neck thru body construction, the Shredzilla 8 Archtop practically plays itself! The arched top offers a comfortable playing experience whilst the double cutaway design allows for excellent access to all 24 frets. A 5-piece Wenge/Maple neck delivers improved stability and a beautiful 14″ radius Royal Ebony fingerboard lends itself perfectly to lead playing, anywhere on the neck. You’ll also find that heavy riffage on the lower frets feels great under your fingers too!
Driving the Shredzilla 8 Archtop is a set of legendary DiMarzio humbuckers, optimised for high gain tones. In the neck position is a Deactivator ™ humbucker which is rich in harmonic content with a smooth sustain. In the bridge, you’ve got the iconic, the original, Super Distortion ™ humbucker, which is the perfect blend of power and tone! Each pickup can be coil split for some sparkly single coils tones too! An EverTune 7 bridge coupled with a set of Grover locking Rotomatic tuners ensures the Shredzilla Archtop stays perfectly in tune under any conditions.
Key Features
- DiMarzio Deactivator ™ & Super Distortion ™ Pickups – The perfect blend of power and tone with enriched harmonic qualities! The Super Distortion was the first pickup specifically designed to push a tube amp into total overdrive, and is still the standard by which all other high-output pickups are measured.
- 5-Piece Maple/Wenge Neck – Multi-piece necks are incredibly stable and won’t shift when playing in hot or humid environments.
- Grover Locking Rotomatic Tuners – Once you’ve used locking tuners, you won’t go back! Locking tuners facilitate lightning fast string changes whilst maintaining rock-solid tuning stability.
- No Heel Neck-Thru Body Construction – This type of neck join is incredibly ergonomic and allows for unparalleled access to the upper frets for a playing experience like no other.
- Dunlop Straplok System – Dunlop’s legendary Straplok system ensures your guitar stays firmly attached to your strap, no matter how wild things get on stage!
- EverTune 8 Bridge – A patented bridge system that keeps your guitar in tune under any conditions – hot, cold, dry or humid!
