BC Rich Extreme Series Mockingbird Exotic Electric Guitar With Floyd Rose In Black Cherry

The Mockingbird is one of BC Rich’s flagship electric guitars, designed all the way back in 1976! Made famous by the likes of Slash (Guns N’ Roses) and a multitude of metal artists, the gothic-inspired Mockingbird still looks modern and cutting-edge almost 50 years later.

This particular model, from BC Rich’s Extreme Series, is a Mockingbird pushed to the absolute limit — sporting a wealth of contemporary features aimed at guitarists who seek premium performance and massive tone! Ultra-hot Fishman Fluence humbuckers, a recessed Floyd Rose tremolo, reliable Grover tuners, locking strap pins, and an elegant neck-through-body construction make this one of the most forward-thinking, kitted-out electric guitars that money can buy!

Key Features

• Neck-Through-Body Construction — Yields piano-like sustain, with heel-less design and “Shredzilla” deep cut enabling effortless access to the highest frets.
• Mahogany Body/Wings — A rich-sounding tonewood that adds deep lows and warm mid-range into the sonic mix. The body comes adorned with a beautiful Quilted Maple top too!
• 5-Piece Maple/Wenge Neck — Layered design ensures maximum strength, for incredible tuning stability. Features ‘Ultra Slim’ profile and slippery satin finish for ultra-fast playability.
• Macassar Ebony Fingerboard — Dark and silky material, featuring a modern 14″ radius and 24 frets.
• Extra Jumbo Frets — Large size offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
• Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers — The go-to pickups for modern metal players! These active noise-free humbuckers deliver pure and musical tones, with the Alnico neck pickup perfect for full chords and fluid solos, and the Ceramic bridge humbucker optimised for aggressive rhythm playing.
• Push/Pull Volume Knob Voice Selector — This versatile feature allows you to switch between passive-inspired and active pickup voicings, for a mix of old and new!
• Floyd Rose 1000 Series Locking Tremolo — Dip and dive-bomb to your heart’s content without losing tune. Recessed design allows you to pull up on the bar to raise the pitch too, as well as create choatic “flutter” effects!
