That is a very cheap chinese version - the naff tuners give it away

Aimed at the kiddies - you will lose interest in it very quickly if you buy it as you are used to the nicer quality of the Tokai

Avoid that one......

That's what happened with the superstrat i bought, the Tokai is so much nicer to play and i just realised it wasn't for me.

However this mockingbird looks tasty, very nice axe indeed.

advice ..

if you REALY want the guitar... see for how much it goes for on ebay, then take half of that and put it away.
then start saving again.. then do the same on the next one. do this a couple of times and you'll have a nice ammount stashed away, for a realy special one.

Like feline said, I think it's a cheap copy. Bolt on BC Rich guitars don't have a maple board. Unless it's a custom shop one, wich it obviously isn't. The controls aren't correct either. It could be a Keiper or it's a home grown mongrel. Probably has vegamatic action.

Better save up for a decent Mockingbird NJ.

No it is a BC Rich but it is one of their cheap ass series - not nice

IMO - the only BC Richs are USA made ones

I have had many of these and some were stunning guitars

I still have a USA gunslinger (pre class Axe) !!

While the USA BC Rich's are awsome guitars of PRS beating quality, for those of us without 2-3 grand to spend, the neck thru NJ series are a helluva lotta guitar for £380.

That looks so nice! I've always liked red mockingbirds, though I think I'd prefer a standard red like Slashes to that quilt. If anyone cares, I won an auction for a Charvel Model 1A off ebay for £200, cant wait to play it :D
