2002 B.C. Rich USA Ironbird Neck Through Quilt Top Transparent Blue w/ DiMarzio
Up for sale, a 2002 B.C. Rich USA Ironbird in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This exceedingly rare model boasts neck-through construction, a pair of USA-made DiMarzio humbuckers, a quilted maple top with a gloss Transparent Blue finish, and a reverse headstock.
Weighing 6lbs 15oz, the tonewoods comprise a mahogany body with a two-piece quilted maple top, mahogany neck, and 24-fret rosewood fretboard. The DP100 Super Distortion in the bridge position is Dimarzio's iconic high powered humbucker, offering plenty of growl and cut, ideal for use with heavy gain. DiMarzio’s DP103 PAF at the neck has a traditional Gibson-style tonal range that’s full and powerful with excellent dynamics and articulation. This USA Ironbird has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
