The B.C. Rich ST Legacy USA is a faithful recreation of the '80s metal icon, upgraded for modern shredders. Designed by industry legend Dan Lawrence, the ST was one of the most sought-after bolt-on shred machines of its era. Now it returns, loaded with top-tier components to help you conquer the fingerboard.

Iconic Body Design Optimized for Speed

The heart of the ST Legacy is its alder body, renowned for balanced tone with articulate highs and tight lows. Its signature Gunslinger shape feels compact and comfortable in the playing position. The bolt-on maple neck sports an ebony fingerboard for warmth and sustain—perfect for everything from percussive riffing to soaring leads. And with a slim, lightning-fast "Shredzilla" profile, this neck will have you flying across the fingerboard.

Dual Humbuckers Unleash Scorching Overdrive

Powering the ST Legacy's aggressive voice are a pair of DiMarzio humbuckers chosen specifically for their high-output, distortion-friendly character. In the bridge position, the Super Distortion pickup delivers tight lows, a snarling midrange and blistering highs that cut through even the densest mixes. The D Activator neck humbucker provides liquid lead tones and meaty rhythms. Together, this pickup combination breathes new life into your solos and power chords.

Floyd Rose Original for Extreme Whammy Histrionics

When it's time to dive, bend and manipulate strings with wild abandon, the Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo has your back. Engineered for tuning stability under the most aggressive whammy abuse, this industry-standard vibrato allows for dramatic pitch shifts without going out of tune. With the Floyd Rose's brass block and knife-edge fulcrum, you can unleash the full sonic mayhem of your whammy skills.

Built for Uncompromising Speed and Playability

From its 14" ebony fingerboard radius to the 22 extra-jumbo frets, every element of the ST Legacy's playing surface is designed for breakneck fretwork. Glide across the ebony fingerboard as you tap out machine-gun licks and dizzying runs. The Floyd Rose R3 nut provides silky string movement, while the 18:1 ratio Grover tuners make micro-adjustments a breeze. And with its straight 6-in-line headstock and 25.5" scale length, you'll enjoy perfect intonation all along the neck.
