acrylic mockinbird or an nj

[Hell Hound]

I'll talk in favor of acrylic bodied guitars. I had one for a short time and it sounded really great, very fat and organic sound. It had a suprisingly heavy accoustic sound, very defined, it's like a denser mahognay with more bite.
So a nicely made acrylic guitar can sound good, most of those are cheapos, I think that's why they sound like cr@p.
The downside is acrylic is a VERY HEAVY material, so beware...
All of you guys should try one if you have the occasion, and I, myself, am owner of some exotic woods guitars, so I relatively know something about woods hehe.

It took a couple of months before the specials were on the bay. I´ve only seen them with the knobs the wrong way around. This means the neck volume pot is positioned before the bridge and very close to the high E. That makes it a knuckle buster.

I have seen a Bich perfect 10 on ebay in dragon blood red, very pretty.

Just keep surfing ebay to feed the GAS.

They were only announced 3 weeks ago, so it'll take a while to filter through.

Ah, hadn't realised that (although I couldn't remember seeing them last time I looked at the BC Rich site).  Ta!

Hi guys,

I've got 3 BC RIch NJ Mockingbirds.

One I bought in '98 with bolt-on neck & rosewood fretboard, Floyd Rose trem &  a pointy headstock.

I bought another one last year which is almost the same, but with a nicer finish to the paintwork, a ebony fretboard & a 3-a-side headstock.

And I just got myself a bargin of a NJ Classic series off Ebay for £200 just before christmas.  That's got a through neck.  This one is my main guitar at the moment.  Trying to decide what pickups to stick in it.

Oh, And I forgot to say.  Yes, the Mockingbird is a heavy guitar.  But I like the feel of a nice heavy guitar to be honest.  I know it's not to everybody's taste.
