Description To Fit Guitar: Electric Guitar Model: Surpreme Mockingbird Brand: BC Rich Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
If you got this far, you know what this guitar is all about. Here's the intel on the detail. It's a late '70's Supreme, one piece neck thru design with the cloud inlays. Neck is straight, no breaks or repairs and frets have plenty of life left. The electronics have been replaced with a new Moser electronics package and newer DiMarzio pickups. The tuners are original slot screw type, Badass Bridge, and the guitar is showing some real checking and shows up well in the pictures. I doubt the serial number is original and seemed to be added by someone down the line, for why, I couldn't say, which is reflected in the low selling price. The original hardshell case is including. If you have any questions, please let me know.As far as construction and various details, here is more information I gathered on the line;From Reverb.com, "Mockingbird. The mid-'70s brought the debut of The Mockingbird, designed by Johnny “Go-Go” Kallas. Although it featured the same neck-through construction and wiring as the Seagull, the Mockingbird made a bolder visual statement, and it remains one of B.C. Rich’s most iconic guitars. While the Mockingbird features sharper points than the Seagull, it at least directs them away from the player. Bernie Rico modified the design in 1978, lengthening the cutaway horn on the treble side to improve balance. Popularized throughout its long production run by players such as Joe Perry, Slash and Kerry King, the Mockingbird marks an important development in B.C. Rich’s transformation from esoteric boutique brand to heavy metal mainstay. And a Wikipedia search for B.C. Rich Mockingbird will provide some great additional information that you probably already know but I thought it was pretty cool. Thanks for checking out the auction.
