MGR/Metal Lives!B.C. Rich Mockingbird
Published on 09/03/04 at 15:00I got this delicious axe from Rockin Ron's Music, in Kentucky.
This guitar simply rocks! It's a special edition. There's no finish on it.
The body is solid poplar.
It delivers monstrous tone.
The fretboard is flat.
It looks incredible.
This is not what I call an "all season guitar."
It's made for hard rock and metal. That's hardly what you would expect, having been sold in the "bluegrass music state."
Flawless construction from top to bottom.
I have an affinity for BC Rich guitars especially Mockingbirds.
Sure, they are radical, but who cares?
You could use this guitar for blues as well.
Just make sure to spike up your hair when you're on stage with it.

B.C. Rich Mockingbird
Published on 05/25/02 at 15:00UK - just under 500 GBP. This is the neck-thru model.
Looks great in red translucent, sits comfortably on the knee for practice. The neck is comfortable and allows you to play faster licks. The neck-thru really makes a difference to the sound - the sustain in the upper neck is better than a lot of the bolt-on guitars, and something like the fixed neck Gibson SGs. Tone is lighter than the SG and not so chuggy, and I'd probably prefer a SG on sound alone. But all round and especially for the money, this has to be one of the better bargains about. Add the looks and the image and a lot of metal fans are going to appreciate this guitar. The support in the UK is very friendly - when I first mad…Read moreUK - just under 500 GBP.

Add the looks and the image and a lot of metal fans are going to appreciate this guitar. The support in the UK is very friendly - when I first made enquiries about this model they sent me catalogues, stickers and a free T-shirt. You have to say that's customer-friendly.
Not much I don't like. There are better guitars about, but as far as I can see they all cost more, and most don't have the image of the Mockingbird.
Looks good - no obvious issues with the construction.
For the money and for metal fans, there's not much to beat or even equal the neck-thru B C Rich guitars. Sustain, tone, image, (and customer support) - a real guitar that won't rob you.
