weird that BC Rich claim that the ST was inspired by flash as it has exactly the same layout as the classic mocking birds of the late 70's. The paint job and the Floyd are newer, but the shape and controls are 'classic' :)
the stripes make it cheaper, dudes. that's a layer of ebony, holding the rest of the body to the thru neck. saves BC manufacturing cost of using whole wood, and saves the guitarist money when buying a great guitar. I personally think this is a $1000 guitar they're selling for $6-700. My ax is a Gibson SG Special that is not really stock in any way other than the body now, for reference.
This guitar is HOPELESS when it comes to stay in tune! Overall it's the greatest and best guitar i've ever owned, but i really need to fix that tuning problem. I love this guitar! The perfect weight to it so it doesn't feel cheap or anything. The many knobs and switches gives you an unique opportunity to get the sound you want. And it looks freaking KILLER! I'll never regret buying this axe!
@TiipX strange.. how long have you had it?? i had mine foe a few months now and its staying in near perfect tune, only because a guitar can never stay in perfect tune forever. hopefully you can get that guitar to stay in tune better.
i'll never regret buying mine aswell. mines a honeyburst and it will never leave my possession!
@MEGATROID114 I've had mine for over a year now. However, i will have it served pretty soon, cause i'm going to play live on stage way more from now on. :)
@TiipX I had the same guitar. What's the problem? Try to tune 4 5 6 strings and then push the floyd to the body and just tune a little first ones. It helped me))
Hey Guy! how are you? I am Brazilian and wanted to know where he bought his BC Rich Mockingbird ST? I am looking to buy but do not know where to find .. can u help me? thanks!
You can get one in that colour, which if you didn't know, is the way the original one was designed, the SL. They have one in stock at Guitar Asylum They still have the maple top look though (that you describe as black blotches lol) Personally I have the ST in this deeper red. Suits my metal band (wTomb) better. Ta.
@XxStonedKillerxX Easy way to achieve this color, Paint it. I am gonna get a snow white model with the same black that is shown above, im fucking pumped.
i tried this guitar i like it but one of the knobs os too close to the strings and the frets are a bit too small but i absolutely love the neck and the way your hand fits in at the end of the neck
@greensp4rk this is not a floyd rose? the guitar it's the same in my opinion. i can say this only looking cause colors and all characteristics are the same
Great axe except for one nit-pick... some of the controls are right in the way of the trem arm when it's back out of the way. You king of have to reach underneath it.
I'm thinking of getting a new guitar, Would anyone recommend this...?

They should make a red one with black trimmings. A more brighter red though, without the weird black splotches on it.

XxStonedKillerxX 7 months ago
@XxStonedKillerxX You seriously must be stoned...
Reason why you don't know what the FUCK you are talking about:
trim? binding
splotches? quilt maple top (very desirable design, pretty much just makes the guitar look fancier)
BC Rich did bright colors in the past. Maybe you should go buy a vintage one or get one custom made if you really want one that way.
rusher38 7 months ago
@rusher38 Fancier? That guitar looks stupid especially with those black stripes. Makes me wonder what they were thinking.
