[Frigo89]

[Valeck]

NOW that is just gorgeous.

What's the neck profile like on this?

And the other BC Rich imports like the bich 10 string. I want to try and get as much info as possible on them, as I can't try them out anywhere. I would be buying blind.

very cool, i may have to check one out. ive always wanted a floyded mockingbird, & to be honest i havent liked any of the US / SL's ive played.

[dmtnt]

I've been eying those ST's for a while now, how does it play and sound? Wish I could find one locally to try out.

[Shawn Lutz]

It doesnt sound like anything right now as I have the pots out I'm replacing the electronics & wiring with RS Guitar works upgrade kit. I decided to bypass the varitone, the coil tap and phase switches as I'd never use them anyway.

The profile of the neck is comfortable to me but I love fat-ass necks. It widens up the where the neck meets the body. The Special X mock has a little beefier neck profile than this one. If your into the super thin Jackson and Ibanez Wizard necks it might take a while getting used to. All of my necks I ordered from Musikraft are fat (just my preference) so I'm already used to it.

btw...I never played one of these before I bought this one. I got it used on eBay so I figured ifI didnt like it I could find a home for her and not lose any coin on it.

Oh boy!! Another shapely guitar!! Hmmm...

[chrisolson]

So after a couple weeks, how are you liking this guitar? I've always wanted a 'Bird...

[jaydog]

mockingbirds rule!!! nice st.

[Shawn Lutz]

Chris, I still like it and both of my import mocks are geting more attention than my strats at the moment. I like the 24 frets and its my only 24 fretter.I did the RS upgrade kit on the pot/switch/output and it really sounds nicer with the DiMarzios in it. It really is a very comfortable feeling guitar and easy to play. It has a nice neck-thru sustain. Its a fairly heavy guitar but it has the tone but it seems like I'm always attracted to them heavier guitars for some reason.

Go check them out and don't let that little sticker that says made in korea fool ya I'm sure there is some crappy ones out there but I'm 2 for 2 on these. I think they are helluva buys for the money. Mine are the 2007 models but the previous NJ models are nice as well. GC overstockes on them and were blowingthem out for luke 300 bucks or something last Christmas so there maybe another sale about to happen.

I ended up throwing a set of Duncans in the SPX Mock yesterday. Here's the pair.

[chrisolson]

Good to hear. Those are beauts!! I wish the GC's (ALL 4 OF THEM ) around here would have a few more of these... I haven't seen an ST in person yet. I have played a couple of the exotics though, and the Rockfield p'ups seem to be worth looking into. I may try a couple of them in the bridges of my Deans if the spirit ever moves me.

I'm actually becoming fairly impressed with the gear coming out of Korea these days. It's the Chinese stuff I get leery about... After I find the right Dean V, a 'Bird will be on the list.

Great to hear about these Shawn, I've never had a BCR, these sound great, I agree about the increasing Korea quality, I noticed this on the Schecters when I worked at GC (holy run-on sentence Batman!) I just wish it had the pointy headstock or better yet offer a Stealth version, that would RULE!

A stealth version would most definatly RULE! I would have to try one out!

[toddstaples]
