B.C. Rich Mockingbird Extreme

One-part classic B.C. Rich aggression and one-part aesthetic elegance, the Mockingbird Extreme Exotic is loaded with premium tonewoods, visual refinement, and high-octane tone. This bejeweled ’bird boasts a sustain-enhancing 5-piece maple/wenge neck-thru design, topped with a sleek slab of ebony, then studded with 24 shred-ready extra-jumbo nickel frets in a 14-inch radius. But unlike your typical Mockingbird, the Mockingbird Extreme Exotic sports an attention-demanding quilted maple top and beautiful abalone binding around the body, neck, and headstock. But don’t be fooled by this guitar’s handsome looks - two active Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers unleash a multi-voice array of metal-tinged tones. At the same time, the Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo gives you access to squealing dive-bomb mayhem. Ideal for shredders and metalheads with the most discerning taste, the B.C. Rich Mockingbird Extreme Exotic is a show stopper of an axe with performance and tone to match.

The Mockingbird Extreme Exotic can endure the most depraved of whammy abuse, thanks to its Floyd Rose 1000 Series locking tremolo. It can produce subtle, expressive warbles; although, that's probably not what you're aiming for. Never fear, this red-hot shredder also tackles screaming harmonic squealies and subterranean dive-bombs with equal aplomb. Even better, this trem's double-locking design delivers super-reliable tuning stability while enabling seemingly endless sustain. Simply put, if you tend to brutalize your whammy bar, the Mockingbird Extreme Exotic can withstand everything you dish out.

While B.C. Rich axes are beloved for their extravagant attitude, the Mockingbird Extreme Exotic splits the difference between the brand’s iconic aggression and a more refined aesthetic. This guitar’s quilted maple veneer is bursting with unique grain patterns, supported by a 5-piece maple/wenge neck-thru construction and nyatoh wings. It all results in a sharply defined tone with a fast attack and near-endless sustain — a perfect tonal recipe for any inspiring shredder or high-gain enthusiast. Moreover, the body, neck, and headstock are all inlaid with beautiful abalone, in addition to a striking “Extreme Abalone” inlay at the 12th fret.

The B.C. Rich Mockingbird Extreme Exotic, courtesy of its direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, is your conduit to two of the guitar world's most sought-after humbucker tones. The Fluence's modern voice churns out the tight bass, crisp highs, and subtle growl you'd expect from an active pickup, while its high-output humbucker voice delivers a gnarly old-school tone tailor-made for distortion. Switching between these two voices is as easy as grabbing the Mockingbird Extreme Exotic's push-pull volume knob. This solidbody electric guitar also includes a 3-way pickup selector toggle and a kill switch for added versatility.
