Zoltan Bathory
B.C. Rich
Signature Guitars
As guitarist, songwriter and a founder of Five Finger
Death Punch, Zoltan Bathory has taken the Metal
community by storm. His intense playing and the
group’s meteoric rise to popularity are astounding.
But in reality, the band has worked hard to develop a
following, spending more than two years on the road
performing with many of the world’s biggest bands.
Through it all, Zoltan has relied on his B.C. Rich guitars
to deliver the aggressive tone, playability
and dependability required for continual use
on the road and in the studio.
Now, B.C. Rich proudly introduces three Zoltan Bathory
Signature ASM model guitars. Each reflects Zoltan’s
specific technical requirements and keen design
aesthetics. From the 251/2" scale length and
Floyd Rose® Original Tremolo systems to the
“Standing Lion” inlay and neck-through construction,
each of these new models will go a long way to bring
out the best in any player.
Zoltan Bathory Signature ASMs
B.C. Rich Zoltan Bathory Signature ASM models
feature the dynamic tone and responsive touch that
Zoltan demands. This comes from a combination of
classic B.C. Rich neck-through construction, 255/8"
scale length, Rockfield® Mafia™ pickups, Floyd Rose®
Original tremolo units and a host of other small details.
Now, you can get the very same guitar specs as Zoltan,
even if you’re not a Rock Star … yet.
