The Masterpiece Eagle delivers looks and solid reliability in an affordable package. With Bolt-on construction, B.D.S.M. humbuckers and a gorgeous flame maple top, the Masterpiece Eagle is ready to rock!
The BC Rich Masterpiece Eagle uses a classic Bolt-on construction. On these guitars, the neck is bolted on with 4 screws to the body. This construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides the option to change the neck in the future.
Bridge Pickups - SWV is short for Select Wound Vintage. Everybody has them. Why? Because they kick butt! This is where some say it all started and came from. A changing of the guard, if you will, in the future engineering of guitars and guitar pickups. If it wasn't for the original PAF design, who knows where we all would be? With all that being said, this pickup rings true of that vintage tone we speak of with of course, a Rockfield twist. We again went to specific people in the know and found out herds of info about how the originals were made. That along with our knowledge made for a great combination and a tonal blast from the past. A warm singing and smooth replication of classic PAF style tones that are clear and ring like church bells on Sunday afternoon.
Neck Pickups - This pickup is perfect in the neck position of any guitar where there is a need to get that sought after warm, thick vintage PAF tone. This versatile neck position pickup takes from its vintage brethren a unique and bold tone that is smooth, warm and balanced from top to bottom. The Rockfield SWV neck position humbucker is sweet and full with great lows, mids and ringing highs.
A deep arched top is used on this model and several other 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.
