Mocking availability

A pleasant surprise- The BC Rich Mockingbird ST is now available at Davis GMC. It's one of those great sit-down/ strap-on guitars out there while still retaining an intriguing look. Lots of switches to play with but they are all useful in some ways, namely a coil split for both pickups & phase-reverse option which would serve you well in single coil mode. I didn't expect a Tele-type quack but it's there. 

The neck's a great round profile with an equally great upper fret access, thanks to the through-neck construction. Also commendable- the ebony fretboard. One can almost feel its crispiness just by touching the 'board but more importantly it supplements some clarity to the tone, more so in humbucking mode.

Also available- the 7-string version, price difference- less than $100. Unbelievable.

Hey. It's Friday the 13th...
