Wow that looks awesome. Are those "Special X" guits made in Japan?

[Shawn Lutz]

Axewielder...the Special X and the ST Mocks are made in Korea

[Bengal65]

Cool Shawn! Congrats! How is the electronics, switches and pickups?

Hmm, you gotta be careful with those. I bought a Korean made Bich earlier in the year, and it had a stripped truss rod. It was covered under warranty and I got it replaced, but still....that sucked.

[Nuclear Vampire]

Wow. That is one of the nicest Mockingbirds I've ever seen. Great choice on the gold hardware.

[slash-ed]

They're putting the electronics package on the imports now? Schweet. Might have to get one....

[straycat]

I'm still looking for one.That is too cool.

[toddstaples]

Ho-ly crap....

Sweet guitar dude, I tried a spalted top warlock a week or two ago and it was a really nice guitar, they rock.

[Super_shredder]

thats awesome

these korean bc richs look great value

[Shawn Lutz]

Thanks guys. I was like everyone else and would cringe when I heard made in korea, if you can get over that mental hurdle and try one out you'll have a change of heart. I never thought I have a made ko-rear (as old dudes call it) let alone 2. Trust me when I say that as I've had or still have USA GMW's, Custom Shop Jackson's, Fenders and if these Koreans couldn't hang with da big boys I wouldnt keep em

The electronics aren't extremely cheapies. It was nice and quite and sounded good. I just didn't like the look of the guitar in the stock form with black pu's, trem, truss rode cover and tuners, makde it too dark looking all goth like or something as my sons said. If the stock Rockfield pickups would have been creme or white I probally would have kept them as they sounded pretty good. The only thing I'd consider cheapy is the output jack.

dont take my word for it..go to GC and try one out

Those Mock's are killer, Shawn. Been thinking bout pickin up 1 or 2 myself.

[Frigo89]

I am gonna grab an Exotic Classic Mock or Exotic Classic 10 String Bich this winter.

BC Rich and Jackson have the best punch for the price, that's for sure

[sully]
