I've been wanting to get a Les Paul for a while to put my HS-p90's in, but with the quality new Gibbos of late, I didnt want to pay les paul money, i fell into this cheap and i think i left with my soul not getting a gibson. Many of you know I'm a BC Rich nut, so this seemed quite appropriate. I've modded this guitar considerable since I got it so listed are images in order of progression
STAGE 1 with Stock Rockfield Pickups

The pickups def. suits the guitar. I'm not really a fan of 3 pickup humbucker guitars so I would leave it as it is.
-
Thats a lovely looking guitar, very appealing and balanced shape. I'm normally very conservative too.
-
Ah one of the few BCs that appeal to me. There is something sliq about it, elegant even.
Lookwise I think I would leave this one as is, I fear a third PU might disturb "the flow" of the axe.
-
That looks beautiful!
-
I think I still prefer the looks and the "visual balance" of the classic 24-fret Mockingbirds, but that is a very fine looking guitar. The LP styling does definitely suit it. :D
I guess it must feel quite "compact" with the bridge and tailpiece being so far down the body? Almost like a Music Man.

I quite agree, it looks quite short when compared to my USA Mock

Looks great bro!
-
Nice job. Now you just need to put some clips op on here.
:minigun:
-
when i get a decent camera, I will do just that. this thing sounds amazing. Nailing that Goatsnake tone
-
I really do need a Mockingbird in my life.
-
You created a monster with that 3rd PU....
-
That was a bold piece of routing work, brave man! :lol:
It does look good with the third pickup, I must say. :)
-
Very cool, great job! :D
-
that looks badass :D
-
That looks awesome! You have guts to route your new guitar like that :o
It's cool that they built the Supermassive and Pig 90 as humbucker sized P90s for you too. The HSP90 category is rather small, I feel like they need a blue note or nantucket modeled HSP90 to fill it out. Anyway, great job, now post some clips or we will find you :shock: This forum is desperately lacking in Bare Knuckle P90 sound clips
-
i'll get on it this weekend, i'll do some cool clean sounds to really show how pretty it can be along side some really really fuzzed out stoner sludge stuff which i primarily use this guitar for
-
thanks for all the compliments everyone. Routing has become a pretty standard task for me the past couple years. About 9 months ago i did a floyd rose conversion on a gibson V for a friend. was helluva project and came out awesome. Not something i would do personally as i am a Kahler guy to the bone, but it was damn cool and really reconfirmed my confidence with a router.
-
Your Mockingbird with the beast headstock looks very nice.
-
the guitar shape is wild enough to pull that off. i even think it looks better with the 3 pickups.
-
Looks really killer! great job :)
-
thanks everyone, quite proud of this one. Still trying to get the band I made this for rolling, just too many projects going to get the momentum going
