Built for Extreme Fretboard Pyrotechnics
Built especially for extreme fretboard warriors, the B.C. Rich Ironbird Extreme is an aptly named beast. To start with, its well-balanced nyatoh body fits you like a second skin, while its satin-finished, 5-piece Shredzilla neck and 24-fret ebony fingerboard facilitate physics-defying speed. What's more, its no-heel, neck-through design makes accessing upper frets seem effortless. The Ironbird Extreme offers up a salmagundi of sizzling tones, by way of its Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers, with a 3-way pickup selector toggle and a kill switch added for maximum sonic flexibility. Want to squeal and dive — simultaneously? It's no problem for the Ironbird Extreme, since it's equipped with a near-bulletproof Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo. You also get rock-solid Grover Rotomatic 18:1-ratio tuners and rugged strap locks to safeguard against axe droppage. Head-turning abalone binding, an abalone 12th-fret fingerboard inlay, and aggressive-looking black chrome hardware round out this high-performance solidbody electric guitar. The B.C. Rich Ironbird Extreme is a shredder's playground. And, thanks to its radical Ironbird body shape and angular headstock, you'll make a lasting impression before you even play your first note.
Designed by shredders for shredders
The Ironbird Extreme was conceived with technical players in mind. Its Ironbird-shaped nyatoh body offers exceptional balance and long-term playing comfort. Its no-heel, neck-through design features an extra-deep cut for stress-free upper-fret access, and its satin-finished, 5-piece neck features B.C. Rich's easy-playing Shredzilla Ultra Slim Contour shape. And, in the interest of achieving terminal velocity, the Ironbird Extreme comes armed and ready with a lightning-fast 14-inch-radius Indian ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets.
Multi-voice Fishman Fluence humbuckers
The B.C. Rich Ironbird Extreme, courtesy of its direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, is your conduit to two of the guitar world's most sought-after humbucker tones. The Fluence's modern voice churns out the tight bass, crisp highs, and subtle growl you'd expect from an active pickup, while its high-output humbucker voice delivers a gnarly old-school tone that's tailor-made for distortion. Switching between these two voices is as easy as grabbing the Ironbird Extreme's push-pull volume knob. This solidbody electric guitar also includes a 3-way pickup selector toggle and a kill switch for added versatility. Guitarists at Sweetwater are floored by the range of sounds that can be ripped from the Ironbird Extreme, and we're confident that you will be, too.
Built for dive-bombs and squealies
The Ironbird Extreme can endure the most depraved of whammy abuse, thanks to its Floyd Rose 1000 Series locking tremolo. It can produce subtle, expressive warbles; although, that's probably not what you're aiming for. Never fear, this red-hot shredder also tackles screaming harmonic squealies and subterranean dive-bombs with equal aplomb. Even better, this trem's double-locking design delivers super-reliable tuning stability while enabling seemingly endless sustain. Simply put, if you tend to brutalize your whammy bar, the Ironbird Extreme can withstand everything you dish out.
