B.C. Rich

collapse expand iconDescription

The B. C. Rich Mockingbird Legacy ST electric guitar blends iconic '70s style with powerful modern tone. Featuring a neck-thru nyatoh body, quilted maple top and ebony fretboard, the Mockingbird Legacy ST looks as sinister as it sounds. Powered by DiMarzio D Activator humbucker pickups, the Mockingbird Legacy ST produces tight, high-gain tone perfect for hard rock and metal. The Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system allows radical dive bombs and squeals without tuning issues. With premium components like Grover tuners and a shred-ready neck profile, the Mockingbird Legacy ST plays fast and stays in tune. Paying homage to B. C. Rich's storied history while pushing the boundaries of modern rock guitar.

High-Gain Tone and Premium Components

The Mockingbird Legacy ST pairs DiMarzio D Activator humbucking pickups with an ebony fretboard and quilted maple top for a fusion of warm, articulate tone and premium esthetics. The D Activator bridge pickup produces tight bass, glassy highs and rich midrange perfect for high-gain styles. Grover Imperial tuners keep the Mockingbird Legacy ST in tune through radical whammy bar dives and squeals courtesy of the Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system.

Neck-Thru Construction and Shred-Ready Neck

The Mockingbird Legacy ST features a neck-thru nyatoh body with wenge stringers for enhanced sustain and resonance. Its Shredzilla Ultra Slim Contour neck profile has a satin finish and 24 jumbo frets for fast, unencumbered playing. A 12" fretboard radius and 24 5/8" scale length balance comfort and precision.

Iconic Body Style

Introduced in 1976, the Mockingbird's distinctive reverse offset body style has become a hard rock and metal icon. The Mockingbird Legacy ST's quilted maple top and Trans Red finish give this classic shape a modern twist. Right-handed with a gloss ebony headstock face, the Mockingbird Legacy ST makes a bold visual statement on stage.

    I can find no flaws in this guitar. Plays and sounds fantastic. I owned the very first BC Rich Seagull in this color and I ordered the varitone like I did in most of my guitars. Little did I know Bernie would stick it in most of his guitars for years after mine. Sadly I sold it during harder times, so when I was able, I got this beautiful instrument. I couldn't be happier.

    Honey Burst color as advertised is more like dirt brown. Don't expect to receive a Mockingbird in the color as advertised. Very disappointing. Unfortunately GC will not allow a photo upload.

  • Best imports B.C. rich has ever made!

    I bought the Koa version, it is absolutely beautiful and super well constructed. Fit and finish is stellar as is the fret work. The electronics are a definite upgrade from the previous Sts. I do wish it came with a better Varitone, I swapped mine with a true- bypass version that cost 15 bucks, other than that its great. The neck and shredzilla heel are a huge improvement, greatly improving upper fret access/ comfort. I own/ have owned over 150 import Bc Riches and this is by far the best, better than several of my USA models.

  • Worth every penny!!

    I bought this as a blemished/used item! Can't find a flaw or blemish anywhere! Guitar plays and sounds amazing. Had to do a minor set up when I received it but that's normal! Electronics worked as they are supposed to. Frets are even, crowned and polished! I'll buy another when I can afford it. Well done!
