As a ‘’metal-head,’’ I wanted a guitar that looked tough and sounded heavy. The B.C. Rich Mockingbird had these features nailed. The dark black finish on the body and the unusual body edges give this guitar a dangerous look to it. When picking up this guitar, you know it’s going to last a lifetime. With a heavy mahogany body and a thick neck, the B.C. Rich Mockingbird is only for those who can handle a true heavy metal experience.

The big B.C. Rich Mockingbird headstock really adds to its indestructible appearance. It has a chunkier feel to it however not everyone may enjoy the weight of the guitar beast. The weight and heaviness of the guitar itself really has a big impact on the tone. With dual vintage humbucker pickups, this axe sounds deep and dark. This kind of tone however can only be used in specific genres of music such as heavy metal or hard rock. It does have a few downsides, the heavy weight being one of them. Another downside is the muddy sound, even though it sounds great for heavy metal, it still has an unclean tone. This mainly affects rapid solos or sweeping because when it comes to rhythm such as power chords, the B.C. Rich Mockingbird really delivers.

When I think of the B.C. Rich Mockingbird’s tone, I immediately think of Black Sabbath. It has very dark distorted strumming tone which reminds me of some classic Sabbath tones like the sound in ‘’Paranoid.’’

This is an amazing guitar perfect for live performances or studio usage. The long fret board features 24 jumbo frets allowing easier access to the final frets. The curves in the body are also a great advantage when trying to reach to last frets. One of my favourite features about this guitar is the ability to have different volume settings for each pickup, allowing you to play a normal volume rhythm with a louder lead. There have been many different models available throughout the years but B.C. Rich has always stayed true to the vintage model. The B.C. Rich Mockingbird first saw the light of day in 1976 making this axe a true classic.
