Awesome.........Bernie has been nothing but cool to me. My Hesperian has the greatest neck I've ever played. Basically liquid fast and comfy. I haven't owned a 7 in years but if and when I own another I want it to be built by Bernie.......the man is a guitar building wizard.

Congrats Jason, Im a HUGE Mockingbird fan but have never owned one. I have to change that one of these days...

I've always liked Mockingbirds too bro......but Bernie's current work is on a completely different level than any BC Rich I've ever played. I know the father/son lineage and I have played some kick ass ones back in the day and they were awesome no question.......I can't express how badass the neck is on my Hesperian. I just played a nice BFR Petrucci at my GC and that guitar is meh in comparison...

No doubt about it. The necks on both of these guitars is unreal. That is why I bought the second one on the spot. Most comfortable neck I have ever felt on any guitar.

Bro Jim!!! Ive heard that Bernie Jr ghost built some guitars for the BS Rich Custom Shop and it would be awesome to have him build me a Mockingbird. Im not really interested in any other shape beyond that...

Thanks, Kage. Mockingbirds are fucking awesome. One of the coolest and most original shapes ever. It is one of the only "weird" shapes in guitar history that works besides T/S/LP IMO.

It was cool sitting at Bernie Sr.'s desk where he sat for many years. His glasses still hang next to his desk.

BC Rich have definitely contacted Jr. to build guitars. Not sure if it will happen.

Nailed my feelings on the matter EXACTLY Jason..

That had to be cool as hell. Jim(Yngzaklynch) is a fuul bore BC Rich Fanboy and he knows alot about what has gone down behind the scenes since the passing of Sr. He told me how the current BC Rich Custom Shop has had work done by what he called Ghost Builders and that Bernie Jr has in fact built some of those... Jr obviously cant offer those shapes due to licencing and what not but it would be hella cool to have him build me my dream Mockingbird...

Yeah that's cool I get it. Knowing how much of the shred beast that you are......if you played my 20" radius Hesperian I think you might travel backwards in time due to the sheer speed and slap yourself in the face.....

Not to hype anything up on the internet or anything

MEH............you were killing it back in the day I went by your pad.......I think you were playing a POD xt pro thru a Mesa 2:90 w/an Ibanez Vai V77777777778622317 or whatever the fuck guitar......the Jem with the mirror pickguard. I've got two sprained digits from sparring last night so I'm limping along on the guitar today myself.......Motrin 800 is my friend...

Different times Bro, that was a Jem 7DBK, cool guitar for sure. I havent played anything with a radius as flat as that in YEARS!!!!

For me, all of my old Martial arts injuries are coming back to haunt me. On top of that, Ive got a raging case of Lyme disease thats really kicking my ass. I swear by Aleve but Im up to almost 8 of them a friggin day just to walk around. It sucks and there is an end in sight but itll take awhile... being old blows!!!
