Product Description

With its sleek and curvy BC Rich body design, the Masterpiece Mockingbird offers incredible detail with endless tone at a price that will shock you. The Masterpiece Mocking bird features an elegant arched top with a AAA quilted maple veneer. The bolt-on neck gives this masterwork of a guitar its 24-5/8 inch scale. The 24 jumbo fret, rosewood fingerboard provides octaves of playability while the string though body design with a tune-o-matic bridge keeps incredible stability throughout this amazing instrument.

Deep Arched Top

A deep arched top is used on several B.C. Rich models. The deep arch is achieved by increasing the body center by approximately 5/8" and then gently sloping the arch toward the side of the instrument and leveling out just as the slope reaches the edge. A deep arch top when applied to a B.C. Rich shape gives an air of elegance and sophistication. Many of the B.C. Rich Handcrafted instruments are requested with a deep arch top style. This year B.C. Rich is offering more deep arch tops in their production models in a variety of shapes and colors.

Bolt-on Construction

A number of BC Rich guitars use a classic Bolt-on construction. On these instruments a neck (typically maple) is bolted on with 4 screws to the body. This construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides the option to change the neck in the future.

BC Rich BDSM Pickups

BC Rich designed their BDSM humbucking pickups to provide a solid sound and to be durable while delivering high output. BDSM stands for Broad Dynamic Sonically Matched, which simply means that the pickup is designed to reproduce a wide range of frequencies accurately. Then they are tested and matched in pairs (Neck and Bridge) by their inherent individual and signature tonal and output characteristics to give a solidly balanced, sonically matched tone.

4 out of 5 (13 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"Much more than I expected from a cheap instrument"
Sound: Neck pickup - sweet, jazzist, quiet, very good one! Bridge pickup - hot, louder, quiet even strong, good for rock, metal, etc. Feature: Two volumes, one master tone, 3 way switch. They could make one master volume also, that's enought. Ease of Use: Very good action, in the store, better than some original Gibsons. Not need adjustment. 24 frets in 24-5/8" scale makes the neck pickup very close to bridge pickup, if you are used to play instruments like Gibson or 25-5" scale, you will hit the neck pickup with your pick (not a big deal, you can handle that! :-)) Quality: For the price, nice finish. Mine had two problems: 1. I needed to release the neck to adjust it's right position (string was in "diagonal"), very simple and ok, perfect after adjustment. 2. Eletric wiring... very, very poor. I needed to change all. But, after all, a good instrument, strong, quiet, responsive. Value: Very good guitar, you can use it for all pourposes, recording, jamming, performing, etc. Manufacturer Support: I bought in USA, but I'm living in Brazil, so I did all for myself, I don't know about company support. The Wow Factor: Guitar is like a "friends", or best, "lovers". In my experience this one is a faithful one. Overall: I always trying a new instruments, so this one is not the "last one", but it doesn't need to be replaced, is one more. If it were lost or stolen problaby I will buy a new one.
Style of Music: Alternative, progressive, metal

"Looks can be deceiving."
Overall: This guitar is a great show-piece, but little more. The bolt-on neck saps the tone and sustain, and the cheap humbuckers don't deliver a good quality sound. The hardware is not very impressive. A neck-thru mockingbird with good pickups and hardware, which runs around $625 shipped, and with a case (that's what I paid for my ST in dragon's blood), is a beautiful monster. It is a truly amazing guitar. This mockingbird, however, is a cheap, misleading version of something respectable, and should not be called by the same name, or allowed to look so similar. These low quality, mass-produced guitars with sexy looks are what give B.C. Rich a bad name. Their mid and high-end guitars are something special, but this is a joke. Don't be fooled by the glossy finish; this guitar may look and play great by design, but it will never equal a well-built version. Save your money for a real guitar or go buy a Squier, because this one will not deliver the sound that the bold looks hint at. I suppose it would be a fine beginner's guitar, but a seasoned musician looking for a quality axe that will stand the test of time and sound great should look elsewhere.
Style of Music: Reggae, rock, blues, funk, metal, country, classical, and small amounts of jazz. I can play rhythm or lead, and I enjoy bits of
