B.C. Rich Kerry King Metal Master V Tribal Fire Graphic

General

B.C. Rich guitars have become a rock and metal trademark since their arrival in 1969. These striking guitars are played by several notable guitarists, including Kerry King. The Slayer guitarist has been a part of the industry for quite some time and has his name tied to many signature guitars in many price ranges. The Metal Master V is the very affordable entry-level model for metal guitarists who would like to start learning to play guitar.

Kerry King Metal Master V: warm, prominent sound with a bite

The core of the Metal Master V is formed by its basswood body and maple neck. This combination results in a warm, prominent tone with defined trebles. Additionally, the rosewood fretboard makes sure that the bite isn't too bright. What's more, you can tell from the stop tail bridge that this is a basic B.C. Rich, wich means you'll have stable tuning and more sustain than you would have on guitars equipped with a tremolo. It is perfect for tight rhythms.

Easy to play

As is the standard for this type of music, the Metal Master V features 24 jumbo frets, which allow for very low action on this B.C. Rich guitar. In addition to the relatively flat fretboard radius, this electric guitar is very easy to play. What's more, the B.D.S.M. humbuckers at the neck and the bridge leave no doubt about this axe's metal-playing intentions. These ceramic pickups produce a grand, modern sound.
