Product Description
The Mockingbird is one of BC Rich's flagship electric guitars, designed all the way back in 1976! Made famous by the likes of Slash (Guns N' Roses) and a multitude of metal artists, the gothic-inspired Mockingbird still looks modern and cutting-edge almost 50 years later.
The STQ model, from BC Rich's Legacy Series, is one of the most popular instruments in the Mockingbird family — distinctive for its gorgeous Quilted Maple top, Wenge body stringers, open diamond fingerboard inlays, and rock-solid hardtail bridge. Sizzling-hot DiMarzio D Activator humbuckers give the Mockingbird STQ a huge voice, with the various switches and controls providing a wide tonal palette.
Key Features
- Neck-Through-Body Construction — Yields piano-like sustain, with heel-less design and "Shredzilla" deep cut enabling effortless access to the highest frets.
- Mahogany Body/Wings — A rich-sounding tonewood that adds deep lows and warm mid-range into the sonic mix. The body comes adorned with a beautiful Quilted Maple top too!
- 3-Piece Hard Rock Maple Neck — Layered design ensures maximum strength, for incredible tuning stability. Features 'Ultra Slim' profile for lightning-fast playability.
- Indian Ebony Fingerboard — Dark and silky material, featuring a 12" radius and 24 frets.
- Jumbo Frets — Big size offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
- DiMarzio D Activator Pickups — Passive, high-output humbuckers designed to eliminate the sterile edginess commonly associated with active pickups. Provide plenty of headroom and respond quickly to your picking attack, with ceramic magnets yielding a balanced sound.
- 'Varitone' Control & Mini Switches — Alongside the customary 3-way pickup selector switch and volume/tone knobs, the Mockingbird ST also features a 5-way 'Varitone' filter switch which subtly adjusts the guitar's EQ. There are 3 mini toggles too: two of these "tap" the humbuckers for single-coil sounds, and the third switch reverses the phase.
- 'Quad' Hardtail Bridge — A high-mass bridge designed to boost tone; featuring easily adjustable saddles for the perfect action and intonation settings.
- Grover Imperial Tuners — Renowned in the guitar industry for their quality, with 18:1 gear ratio allowing you to tune precisely.
- Graph Tech Nut — Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips.
