Manufacturer's description
Inspired by a Mockingbird that a certain top hat wearing legend plays, the Mockingbird ST is, in many ways, very true to the original. Equipped with neck-through construction, a Floyd Rose tremolo, Rockfield Mafia Pickups, coil tap switches, reverse phase switch and Varitone knob (5-way tone control) this axe is ready to shred and slash!

This guitar is awesome! The ebony fingerboard is durable, fast and kick ass! Coil Taps add optional bite to the sound and the bird looks awesome. The neck is nice and wide, perfect for comfortable pitch bends and it weighs a nice reassuring ton. At least you know it is made out of solid wood. Throw in an original floyd rose locking trem and high output pickups and I don't think there is a lot to argue with. It's really a guitar built for blues rock but verstile enough to cover other music styles. With a guitar like this you stand out just by having it onstage. I think it's time to fight against the dire indie hegemony of Fender style guitars, the throw away lightweight Ibanezs and the all too frequently recurring les pauls and SGs. If you haven't guessed I'm a fan. If I lost it I would definitely buy it again.
