Review of BC Rich Mockingbird Classic Elite: The Ultimate Metal Guitar?
Since the 1950s, most types of guitar are simple differences the vintage Stratocaster and drawings of Paul. It is very rare for a guitar-shaped sole makes a significant influence on guitar players who, all their differences, are very conservative when it comes to guitar body shapes.
The late Bernardo Chavez Rico maker (known as BC Rich) was a designer such that transcend Convention and develop many types of guitar that are not just recreations of the past. Indeed, he gave us such models Renowned as the Warlock and Mockingbird, the latter being one of the first models of the company also became one of their most popular.
The guitar-shaped Mockingbird is available in a number of different incarnations. Current models include BC Rich Mockingbird Calibre Classic, Special Special X, the masterpiece, ST, and exotic Classic, which is the subject of our present study.
The current instruments of Mockingbird are built in Korea to high standards, contributing to the guitar "a very affordable price. While the mockingbird of origin were handmade in the workshop custom Rico, Korean standards have risen to the point where outsourcing of guitars made overseas logic. The Mockingbird is still manufactured to very high standards, including the neck-through construction, which gives the instrument much more durable and tone.
The instrument is a player's speed dream machine! The ebony handle allows fast fingering. The frets are well rounded, smooth, polished and perfect, especially for imports.
The Rockfield pickups are great if you're in classic metal or classic rock and have a good creamy, smooth and well defined. If you want super high gain from your pickup, you could be on the market for some replacement pickups (Duncan or Dimarzio), but we found them quite acceptable.
We found the BC Rich Exotic Classic Mockingbird be a rock chip classical and metal machine. The fit, finish and action are exceptional. The equipment is top notch, but we would have liked some machines lock setting.
If you want a little more metal sound, you can opt for the ST Mockingbird, which offers an original Floyd Rose vibrato. The Exotic Classic, after all, is a solid hard rock machine that we have not missed a bit Pink Floyd, and we recommend the BC Rich Mockingbird Exotic Classic without reservation.
