More details on the IT guitars have been posted by BC Rich...

What is I.T.?

What is I.T.? Well, I.T. stands for Invisabolt Technology. B.C. Rich is known for innovation in the guitar industry. So it stands to reason that B.C. Rich is introducing a completely new guitar construction method like I.T. (Invisabolt Technology). I.T. is like nothing else that is available from anyone in the guitar field. The new I.T. system is not a traditional neck through, I.T. is not a traditional bolt on and I.T. is not a traditional fixed heel. I.T. is not only visually striking to the eye it adds sustain and gives a very low profile neck heel.

The initial design was developed by guitarist Pat Murray, and incorporated by B.C. Rich. This patented design has the attitude and style that fits B.C. Rich. You must experience I.T. first hand to understand just how unique I.T. is.

Rock Clouser, B.C. Rich Product Manager adds, "B.C. Rich is excited to introduce such a revolutionary idea in guitar construction. We constantly push the innovation envelope, but we want high level function as well as jaw dropping looks. The new I.T. system has it all."

Pat Murray, President of Invisabolt recalls the first meeting with B.C. Rich," It was surreal, you could see the light bulb turn on over Rock's head and I knew he got it. He lives and breathes this stuff. And now thanks to Rock and B.C. Rich you can get I.T. too!"

Steve Kilgallon, V.P. of Marketing Invisabolt Technology and President of Hard Wear Inc had this to say," We flew up to B. C. Rich HQ to let them see the Invisabolt Technology system. Employees tested one of B.C Richs flagship models against the I.T prototype. When everybody preferred the advantages of the I.T. design, we knew at that point we were on to something big.

B.C. Rich is introducing this new technology on three new SE Special Edition guitar models. The I.T. system will soon be available on a Warlock, a Beast and a Jr. V. The standard features on these very unique instruments will be:

~ I.T. Neck System ~ 2 B.C. Rich Humbucker Pickups ~ Paint to Match Headstock and Neck ~ Special B.C. Rich Widow Style Inlay at the Seventh Fret ~ Ebony Fingerboard ~ Chrome Hardware (Warlock) ~ Black Hardware (Beast and Jr. V) ~ String Through the Body ~ 24 Jumbo Frets ~ 25.5" Scale

These Special Edition I.T. guitars will only be available in Shadow (flat black).

The I.T. System is patented and exclusively licensed to B.C. Rich.

The extended neck is recessed in to the back of the Body. There are 6 screws that attach the Neck to the body. 2 under the Bridge pickup going straight through the body into the Neck plank, (which by the way is shaped like the Widow Headstock.), 4 under the front pick up - 2 straight through the body into the neck and 2 that go into the neck (towards the headstock).

This results in sturdier mounting and more contact with the neck to the body.

I don't really see the point since they're released so many neck-through (NT not NJ now) models this year...
