B.C. Rich announces the release of the Chuck Schuldiner Tribute Stealth guitar in two versions, first as a standard model but also in a Handcrafted Custom Shop version.

Charles Michael "Chuck" Schuldiner (1967-2001) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. As the singer, rhythm / lead guitar player and main songwriter of the band Death (which he founded in 1983 as Mantas), Schuldiner is often referred to as "The Father of Death Metal".

Both Handcrafted and standard Tribute models feature neck through construction, alder bodies, ebony fretboards and a single Dimarzio® X2N pickup to reproduce "Chuck's" tone.

The Tribute will be available late summer. Orders are currently being accepted for the Handcrafted Tribute Stealth with some limited immediate availability. A portion of the proceeds of each instrument goes directly to the family of Chuck Schuldiner.
