In conjunction with the Schuldiner Family Estate, B.C. Rich has official announce the Chuck Schuldiner Tribute Stealth, a handcrafted version of Schuldiner's favorite instrument.

Schuldiner has been called "The Father of Death Metal", and his guitar is a reflection of the aesthetic of his band, Death: with it's wicked body shape, streamlined electronics and deep onyx finish, the Stealth looks like a weapon of destruction.

The specs on this guitar are all tailored for speed shredding and heavy riffage. The single, bridge position pickup is a DiMarzio X2N, the companies highest output humbucker. With two extra wide blade magnets, the pickup looks as mean as it sounds, and will push tubes to their saturated limits. A single volume control insures that as little as possible stands between the pickup and your amp.

The neck-though body is constructed of alder, while the finger board is ebony, a tonewood combination that yields a pronounced attack and ringing sustain. A beveled top, Quad Bridge and Grover tuners round out this fine-tuned meal-machine.

According the B.C.Rich, a portion of the sales for the Chuck Schuldiner Tribute Stealth will go directly to the Schuldiner Family.
