here's a little gem (vintage BC Rich) owned by our drummer...

The neck and body are one-piece....

It also doubles as a deadly weapon.... :party

Cool!!

that's the Mockingbird....the real one too with the neck through...

Dimarzios??

maybe..

I remember when these guitars were first comming out...

I had a mockingbird with a bolt on neck maybe 15 years ago that I bought from a friend who neede money...it looked neat but it wasn't a great guitar..I gace i9t back to him a few years later because I never played it.

BUT, these 'real' BC Rich axes with the neck through were pretty fine instuments!!

I still cant get into the looks of the things though..

I'm pretty conservative about the shapes of guitars..

Guitars are supposed to be shaped like a woman!!!

thats is, and ever has been one of the coolset things about them!!!

Dunno if they're DiMarzios or not, PANick, but the owner tells me it's one of the first Mockingbirds made, and has never been modified.

I do like the tone a lot, though...

If you care to hear, this is a short (30 sec.) clip of it being played straight through a Rockman into the board to ADAT...

Gorilla Girl solo....

The action is feather-light on it, too. He strings it with .009s, and they're almost touching the frets. Too light for my taste, in fact... - I feel like I can't get a "grip" on the strings...

(Hey, Netster...! - How've you been...¿..)

The "neck-thru" design on those guitars makes them very stable. A great metal guitar. Don't know about the tone, though...neck-thru's (usually maple) tend to sound a little too "hard" for my taste. Then again, I don't play metal.
