The Story

1978 B.C. Rich Mockingbird Natural

One of the Music Zoo's most beloved guitars, here's a vintage 1978 (1980 serial when they were 2 years ahead) BC Rich Mockingbird in a natural finish, with maple through-neck that has rosewood stringers. The guitar has two DiMarzio double cream humbuckers, and partial active electronics with a built-in pre-amp and six-position varitone for really dialing in your sound. The guitar is in great playing condition, with some wear around the body including scratches and dings around the edges. The nut appears to have been replaced. It includes a non-original case that does not have a handle on it, however it still protects the guitar in transit. The electronics have been gone through and work as they should - and sound great!

Includes: Non-Original Hardshell Case
