  • 78th grade B.C.Ricci Mockingbird was refinished, fret exchanged, nut exchanged, and parts polished overhauled.
    It's made in 1978 ... it's vintage.
    Requests for refinish, refret, overhaul, and full course.
    This material ... Hawaiian? It seems to be core material.
    I thought it was Walnut, but it's the core from the audience. I was told. Thank you very much.
    Really beautiful ... I noticed a little while peeling off the paint and sanding, but it is really wonderful. The beauty that spreads the moment you apply oil.
    I was impressed.
    We couldn't shoot, but we disassembled the pegs, cleaned and greased them.
    After 41 years, grease had deteriorated considerably.
    The method of disassembly of the glover type is sometimes not performed because it is quite forcibly decomposed, but this time it was disassembled and greased because the grease was clear inside.
    The fingerboard is Jacaranda? It seems.
    I cut it for the first time if it was a Jacaranda.
    Since the neck was quite thin, I thought it was a fair amount of correction, but it was not that much.
    It was quite thick because it was a fretboard.
    I want you to live long.
    Thank you for your request.
    The painting was finished with oil finish.
    Hawaiian koa wood is very beautifully finished.

    3M is a good choice for masking tape. 6mm is recommended for the high fret of the guitar.

    This was insanely satisfying to watch. I literally watched every second of this video. I’ve been playing guitar for about 36 years and I have even restored a couple but not quite to this level. I replaced hardware and plates etc but most of my handwork went into the wood.
    Very nice work and a great guitar to restore.

    One of my favorite BC Rich shapes! Love the wood, and shapes of these guitars from this era. Beautiful restoration, and the oil refinishing.
    In the end, I don’t love the neck shape/profile, or the electronics, but I used to drool over these bad boys (especially the Mockingbird) when I wore a younger man’s clothes.

    I’m a big fan of your work, Andy. There is so much love, patience, detail, creativity and craftsmanship in your work, simply amazing. Very enjoyable to watch, especially for those of us who like to take old guitars apart and restore them. I also love the way you use simple tools and keep all the original parts making them as good as new. This BC Rich is a beautiful instrument. Must sound amazing with those vintage Di Marzio super distortion humbuckers. That guitar must be worth a decent amount of money. The 1978 Di Marzio pickups alone must be worth several hundreds of dollars.

    There's something extremely satisfying watching this at close up and with such sensitive audio. You can hear and see everything so clearly. That Badass bridge is the best bridge ever made. That original restored would fetch big $$$ on Reverb...

    I love how you turn the screws backwards first, so they line up with the original threads. To those that don't know, that's why he did that. It works with about any type of screw. Put screw in, turn backwards till you feel it slip into the original threads, then screw it to it

    I remember these as a teenager. there was no internet we had catalogs, one was "Music Emporium". I think these and the Rich Bitch were $1200 back then, an unattainable fortune for a new guitar as a kid, in our gangs case anyway..what memories. I had a black Greco LP. what a workhorse, I rotted the hardware out with sweat.

    cannot explained but is very immersive and detailed and when you feel true legit love for your Guitar you ll know what i getting at..
    also your silence makes it much more personal
