1985 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Is that Mockingbird-thing a good guitar?? I was thinkin' about buying one very recently just because they look so cool, but I don't wanna buy a crappy guitar because of its looks. According to those who has played on a few guitars says the Mockingbird (and the rest of B.C. Richs lineup) got pretty crappy eletronics. But that apperantly only applies to their cheaper guitars & basses. Can be fixed by putting some other pickupsMy opinion is that it's a really sweet guitar. Its body fits mine perfect. The only complaints I got is that the highest frets are hard to play on due to the body shape, my hand is too big... So a Mockingbird with 24 frets would be better. Btw, I bought mine because of the looksI see a few of us seem to have a thing for Les Pauls. I love those guitars.I've played on an old Les Paul and it was sooooo sweet. The weight... the feeling... OH YEAH! 8) The price... OH NO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 A guy I know plays in a local band here, and he's about 16. He got his LP from his uncle who had it just sitting in his basement, anyway his uncle played in a band waaaay back in the 60s and the guitar he gave this guy was a 1965 Black Beauty with all the original electronics and paint and everything, untouched basically.

Death Star Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Well I don't own a guitar yet, but I will soon. I just thought that let's give you people an image of it. Here it is:It's a ESP-LTD Viper 50 BK. It's cheap thats why Im getting it. Don't laugh at me, it isn't the best guitar, but it has got great reviews and it's my first after all. i played the esp version of that at one of our gigs when a string on my ibanez went. they look pretty good and i was pretty impressed with it, kind of an sg with a bit of punch Oh, that's cool! Yeah, I'm really lookin' forward to this I like ESP's I have an ESP LTD series M-50. Alot of metal bands use ESP's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
