Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized BC Rich dealer

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.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great Value"

Overall: First I would like to thank Zounds for quick service I live in Pa. the guitar shipped from NJ and was to me the next morning, also the 4 payments makes it affordable to us working musicians, this is the second guitar I purchased from Zounds in the last 6 months. Now for the review,I received the guitar and the action was a little high after a day of letting the guitar settle in I adjusted the neck, the truss rod was very loose, if you ever set up a guitar you always start by adjusting the neck before anything else, then maybe adjust the bridge if need be. After tightening the truss rod the action came down that the guitar plays like butter, there is the obligatory fret buzz when playing the guitar unplugged but when plugged in it's not even noticeable. The neck now has nice relief, the fretboard is nice,the fret wires however could have been finished off a bit better.The body is finished nice,the arch top is beautiful,the controls,2 volume,1 tone and a three way toggle are easy to get at and use.The flame maple top is nice and the finnish is flawless, the only finnish error is on the headstock the red on one side bleeds through the white binding a bit but hardly noticeable. The pickups are better than expected, I personally see no reason to have to change them out. The neck pickup is a warm,creamy clean, that I love a lot. The bridge pickup is the hot treble lead pickup. Let me tell you this guitar does everything tone wise that my Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus does. Finally the tuners are obviously cheaper but they do the job, the keep the guitar in tune. In summary this is the first guitar since 1987 that I will be playing out over 100 times a year that does not say Fender or Gibson on it. It really is that good. I last purchased a Fender Start with a humbucker and this guitar way outdoes that one. The Dragons Blood color is awesome.
