BC Rich Legacy Series Mockingbird ST Electric Guitar with Floyd Rose in Transparent Red.

The Mockingbird is one of BC Rich's flagship electric guitars, designed all the way back in 1976! Made famous by the likes of Slash (Guns N' Roses) and a multitude of metal artists, the gothic-inspired Mockingbird still looks modern and cutting-edge almost 50 years later. The ST model, from BC Rich's Legacy Series, is the most popular instrument in the Mockingbird family distinctive for its gorgeous Quilted Maple top, Wenge body stringers, open diamond fingerboard inlays, and Grover Imperial tuners. Sizzling-hot DiMarzio D Activator humbuckers give the Mockingbird ST a huge voice, with the various switches and controls providing a wide tonal palette. This particular model also comes equipped with a recessed Floyd Rose tremolo system. Key Features Neck-Through-Body Construction Yields piano-like sustain, with heel-less design and "Shredzilla" deep cut enabling effortless access to the highest frets. Mahogany Body/Wings A rich-sounding tonewood that adds deep lows and warm mid-range into the sonic mix. The body comes adorned with a beautiful Quilted Maple top too! 3-Piece Hard Rock Maple Neck Layered design ensures maximum strength, for incredible tuning stability. Features 'Ultra Slim' profile for lightning-fast playability. Indian Ebony Fingerboard Dark and silky material, featuring a 12" radius and 24 frets. Jumbo Frets Big size offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends. DiMarzio D Activator Pickups Passive, high-output humbuckers designed to eliminate the sterile edginess commonly associated with active pickups. Provide plenty of headroom and respond quickly to your picking attack, with ceramic magnets yielding a balanced sound. 'Varitone' Control & Mini Switches Alongside the customary 3-way pickup selector switch and volume/tone knobs, the Mockingbird ST also features a 5-way 'Varitone' filter switch which subtly adjusts the guitar's EQ. There are 3 mini toggles too: two of these "tap" the humbuckers for single-coil sounds, and the third switch reverses the phase. Floyd Rose 1000 Series Locking Tremolo Dip and dive-bomb to your heart's content without losing tune. Recessed design allows you to pull up on the bar to raise the pitch too, as well as create choatic "flutter" effects! Grover Imperial Tuners Renowned in the guitar industry for their quality, with 18:1 gear ratio allowing you to tune precisely.
