The B.C. Rich Kerry King Signature V features Canadian hard maple neck through construction, a maple body, and a Kahler X tremolo. The maple body swirls with intense tribal graphics and the rosewood fingerboard is tricked out with large diamond inlays. EMG-HZ humbucking pickups deliver all the roaring tone Kerry King is famous for. 24 jumbo frets and a 25-1/2" scale allow for blazing fast fingering action. An ominous Widow headstock adds the finishing touch to the wicked looks. PA2 preamp gives you a 0-20dB boost without changing your tone. Quickly kick up your levels for a lead or drive a long cord without losing high frequencies.

Neck-Through Construction
Neck Through construction is used on the Kerry King Signature V because it provides the best possible sustain, resonance, comfort and access to higher frets. Neck-through has long been considered the premium construction method for high-end guitars. This construction starts with a long piece (or pieces) of premium North American maple. That piece runs from the tip of the headstock to the strap button on the opposite end of the guitar. This means that the headstock, fingerboard, pickups and bridge all are mounted to this single sound foundation. Sonically it is a difference you can hear. The neck-through construction also allows deeper cutaways, providing comfort no bolt-on or set-neck could offer.

EMG-81
The EMG-81 bridge pickup is a high output pickup designed especially for the lead guitarist. The 81 is at its best for high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. Whether you're playing power rock and roll, or overdriving your amp, there's a razor sharp attack, and incredible sustain for brilliant soloing. If you're looking for exceptional qualities in a rock pickup, the EMG-81 is the one.

The EMG-85 pickup in the neck position is the perfect complement to the EMG-81 in the bridge. It's string interface lend itself to a more natural tone perfect for rhythm. The EMG-85 boasts loads of output without becoming muddy.

Flat Top
The Kerry King Signature V is constructed with a flat top. The flat top styling gives a bold and pristine look to the edge of the instrument's shape. The binding on a flat top finishes off the edge cleanly and gives a sleek and clean look to the instrument.

This is an awesome guitar!! Good pick-ups and good neck!! The neck is easy to play on and feels great!! The pick-ups are metal/hard core rock style!! The design is just plain tight, and one of a kind!! But since the body is a V, it's basically just a stand up guitar, because it doesn't feel right and slides off ur knee!! Overall its one of a kind!! If you have the money go after it!!

Personally, I think this is one of B.C. Rich's best guitars. In my experience, it had one of the best set of pick-ups money can buy. If you have the money and play metal, you need this guitar.

This guitar is great for the price. It is a quality made instrument, with great sound and a great feel. Personally I replaced the Kahler hybrid with a 2315 pro, and I am very pleased with this guitar. Highly recommended.

Well lets see, great tone, great feel, very light, and FREAKING LIGHTNING FAST. Sitting is a bit uncomfortable but I stand anyway. These EMG's kick majorrrr a** as well. If you want a sound like Slayer (of course), Metallica, Iron maiden, etc. Your well on your way this thing. The looks on this thing kill, and whats great is they our backed up by just a great setup.

This is a great instrument at an affordable price. It has all the features of Kerrys Custom shops (I should know I have two), except it should have a kahler 2203 brass on brass tremolo. It arrived set up exactly like one of kerrys. Even though it has the wrong bridge it can't be beat for the price.
