Explosive Power

Kick your sound into overdrive. Because the Shredzilla comes equipped with a pair of ferocious DiMarzio humbuckers, for a tone of unprecedented power. A Super Distortion is fitted into the neck position, delivering all the original crunching mids and fat highs that form an unbreakable wall of sound. It's combined with the D Activator X bridge pickup, which excels in high-gain situations due to its exceptional definition and focussed attack. There simply isn't anything these pickups can't handle.

Humbuckers are famed for their unmatched clarity of sound, as well as their hot, full tone that revolutionised the rock scene. But if you want the option to produce the iconic, snappy tones of a single-coil pickup – you can. Home to a push/pull coil tap switch, players are able to use just one coil from each humbucker in any combination they wish. Because this is a guitar that combines the tonal excellence of all pickup configurations. And, with a 3-way selector for ultimate flexibility of sound, the Shredzilla ensures you thrive performance in any musical genre.

Oozing with sustain

Let every note ring. The Shredzilla is tailored for the shredder. And much of this is down to its neck-thru construction. Since the same piece of wood makes up the neck of the guitar, and middle-section of the body – the strings are able to vibrate the housing of the pickups, and this response can then be transferred to the amplifier. What this means is that each note you play will resonate right through to the pickups, and this provides a level of sustain that other neck types can’t compete with. So when you’re rocking the stage with an exhilarating solo, you can count on the Shredzilla to scream with near-endless resonance.

Rapid riffs

The clue's in the name: Shredzilla. So it goes without saying that BC Rich have centered their craftsmanship around a playing experience of effortless speed. A 5-piece maple/wenge neck features a satin finish for lightning-quick movement up and down the entirety of the Shredzilla's scale length. It's shaped into an ultra-slim contour that fits perfectly in your hand, letting you take control of your riffs and solos for endless hours of performance.

On top of that, you've got a super-sleek ebony fretboard at your fingertips. And, you guessed it - it's tailored for the shredder, as your fingers fly across its silky surface at effortless speed. Not to mention the no-heel neck cut for easy access to the upper frets. You simply can't compete with this level of playing comfort. Because BC Rich have refined every little detail to enhance your performance.

Unlock your playing potential

The flawless Floyd Rose. It's a tremolo system that will have you abusing the whammy bar in every riff you play. Offering tight tuning stability – even when you slam that whammy bar down – it will allow you to put as much vibrato in your riffs as you like. Whether you like it subtle or full-on, you can be sure that this system will make your vibrato shine. The Shredzilla is one powerful guitar, and it will hold up in any situation.
