1979 B.C.Rich Mockingbird, US, Joey Rico Custom Color Picture(s) and Description:

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Description You are bidding on a US made B. C. Rich Mockingbird Supreme. It was formerly owned and played by Joey Rico, Bernardo C. Rico’s son (Bernardo C. Rico IS B. C. Rich). So this is a special, one-off family instrument. I don’t know exactly what year it is, but it seems to be from about 1978 to 1979 from the features and serial number. Maybe someone that knows B. C. Rich guitars can decode the serial number. It has the cloud inlays, and binding on the neck. Neck wood looks and feels like ebony, but I’m not sure. It is very black though. It is “neck-thru” construction. It has the earlier short horn which I believe was phased out some time in 1978. It has Grover tuners. It is in a custom color mixed up by Joey himself. It is a beautiful purplish blue pearl. I tried to get the pearl in the pictures, but it’s hard to capture. It is a beautiful guitar in person. It has the full active electronics. It works, but I have no clue how to get all the sounds out of all those knobs. I just think it looks cool. I’ve heard some people get an amazing range of sounds out of these B. C. Rich onboard preamps. If you take the time to learn how to use it, you won’t be disappointed. Instructions are available online.The 2009 Vintage Guitar Price Guide has the value of this instrument at $2,750 to $3,400. My reserve is a small fraction of that price and an excellent buy for a US made Mockingbrid of this era. Comes with the original B. C. Rich hard shell case with “Joey Rico” stenciled on it in red paint. It has some minor play wear, but is in excellent condition and was obviously well cared for. See the pictures for the whole story.

This is an El Monte pattern Mockingbird, which I believe is the first shape Mockingbird to be produced. Any corrections or additions are welcome!
