Battle-tested tonewoods





The Ironbird’s alder body is calibrated for bold harmonic presence with lasting resonance and sustain. A bolt-on maple neck ensures fast fretting, complete with deep body cutaways for epic ascents up to the highest register. And speaking of frets, the Ironbird MK2 unfurls vast melodic skies with a 24-fret scale ebony fingerboard. Designers also took care to keep this Ironbird averse to neck dive. The Ironbird’s no-heel neck-through joint draws the neck’s terminus into the body for more even weight distribution, not to mention an added boost in sustain. With its lavish comfort and efficiency that facilitates technique, the Ironbird MK2 Legacy 7 Floyd electric guitar checks every box for ambitious players.

Amp-punishing Duncan Distortion humbuckers





The B.C. Rich Ironbird MK2 Legacy 7 Floyd serves up beastly tones thanks to its scorching-hot Duncan Distortion humbuckers. These high-output, ceramic-magnet humbuckers are perfect for metal of any flavor, and they also fare well in other styles of high-aggression music. Metal-minded guitarists are impressed with the power and tone that these pups deliver. They deliver high-octane crunch by the truckload, while maintaining enough clarity to satisfy the demands of technical players.





Premium hardware passes every test!





The Ironbird MK2 Legacy 7 Floyd comes densely packed with stage-ready hardware that passed the stress test of even Sweetwater’s most intense shredders! Locking tuners keep stability tight for steady intonation and an overall reduction in tuning breaks. An Original Floyd Rose locking tremolo system delivers bends with gold-standard expressive potential supported with a resonant brass block for premium stability and sustain. Moreover, tremolo hardware is paired with a Floyd Rose locking nut for musical synergy that’s bound to work in your favor. For a guitar that flies high all day or all night without missing a beat, look no further than the Ironbird MK2 Legacy 7 Floyd!
