B.C.Rich Mockingbird 78's Refinishing Oil finish Restoration

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.

Next, watch the Fender Stratocaster Refinish. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaSaeZ6kgbela7M

[@AudioStorm1980]

You sir....are the man!

[@btlxguitars7606]

The removal of the old nitro finish with the chisel was probably one of the most satisfying things I've ever watched...

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

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.

[@GeorgeBonez]

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.

[@georgeoliverdavidthalman1091]

Here here too

[@PaulFJarnes]

Such a delicate, fine art and such a beautiful guitar

[@rockindavebyron3960]

WOW!!! What a beautiful guitar, & GREAT year, 1978!!! Rock On & God Bless!!!

[@georgeoliverdavidthalman1091]

I'm speechless. The care , the love of a gift I see. I use to clean my machines as such. Thank you for the joyful memories of being a boy in love with a gift and care of anything / anyone in our lives. Renewed my outlook and insight and inspiration. I own a BC Rich Mockingbird and will never change a thing . Thank you again. #Richlove # soulsmile

[@zeppelinfan82]

I love old MOCKINGBIRDS. Great job as well. Id love to have this guitar!

[@alessandrorossini8704]

Exquisite job, real pleasure to watch the entire video, many, many thumbs up!

[@showtimecharlie6734]

What a great restoration job, and what a great video presentation. Outstanding !!!

[@robertwright1084]

Beautiful work! I have a 1978-79 Mockingbird that is exactly the opposite color scheme. Love these old American made guitars!

[@youarenotsafe2215]

So satisfying. Such a good music, music of crafting and luthiery.

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome Andy🎸《☆》Nice work Brother👍🍺🍕It was Therapeutic seeing & hearing the Poly clearcoat flaking off🖖😎☮

[@brayan_lopes]

This is the best ASMR video that I have ever seen!

[@deviltronix]

thanks for sharing this.. the presentation and editing make it not only interesting but very relaxing.

[@aipsong]

Amazing attention to detail and beautiful work and video - thanks!!!

[@ZosoHacker]

Fantastic videos. No crappy blues twanging in the background. No quacking American diatribe at the beginning. Just talent. Very watchable.

[@sushi_the_beats]

So inspired by your video. Beautiful work. Thanks for uploading.

新潟市出身のESPクラフト科卒業者です😗わたしは楽器業界には務めませんでしたが懐かしい作業ルーティンですね☺️

[@pvdguitars2951]

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.

[@sad-0276]

シンプルにASMRとして質が高い そして人様の楽器なのに自分の愛器と瓜二つってだけで親近感湧く

[@rickydekker7184]

Amazing work. I'd kill to own this beauty. You did a perfect job honestly. Not many would have nailed it this well. glad I watched!

[@superflymosher1901]

Love your videos!! No bullshit, just pure craftsmanship 🤘👍

[@usagi4020]

この子の依頼主の者です。 Andy bass and guitar様、この度は本当にありがとうございました。 とても気品のある美人に生まれ変えて頂き、この子はとても満足しているようです。 今では毎日触りながら、毎日一緒に寝ております。 不思議なもので以前よりさらに手に付く感じも増しているような、、そんな気さえしております。 また改めてご依頼させて頂きたいと思います。 このご縁とご恩をいつかお送りできますように。 誠にありがとうございました。

[@Andybassguitar]

こちらこそご依頼ありがとうございました。素晴らしいギターですので長く付き合って頂ければと思います。

[@IvrafaHell]

this is the first ASMR Guitar renovation channel, I love it

[@shirleyhouse5004]

I have a 77 mockingbird excellent job

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

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...

[@looseemonnn1973]

00UncommonSense00 is that how recoreded the django unchained white cake scene with sensitive audio¿

[@miked9000]

It is hard to beat a highly skilled Japanese craftsman. Patience and attention to detail make all the difference.

[@Andybassguitar]

I'll take it to heart.

[@rookieg]

Loved the filming. And love Mockingbirds

[@jswearengen7109]

What a class act. Every time I get down on KZbin, a person like Andy Bass & Guitar comes along and totally redeems it. I love your videos, man. You are an inspiration. Thank you for providing all this catharsis.

[@Andybassguitar]

Thank you very much. Please look at my video and think so much.

[@stevedahl3689]

Great work, Andy! Awesome job!!

[@KiRiMa64]

The best 30 minutes I've spent in a long time- this video was SO satisfying!!!

[@Andybassguitar]

I'm happy!

[@everythingbobbywolfe]

I absolutely love vintage bc rich and I love your attention to detail!!

[@lorenzocercelletta3930]

so satisfying to see that wood breathe again with the oil finish. amazing work, as always

[@olecranonrebellion9976]

Cool guitar. Nice work.

[@sefton1972]

That was so good to watch. Awesome finish.

[@AndrewTGreen]

Great video!! Best Regards and Wishes!!

[@christiansebastian7752]

Bellezaaaaa muchas gracias por compartir tu trabajo quedo impecable

[@DrMurdercock]

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

[@EvandroLBL]

Do you remember the timestamp of this?

[@ray.shoesmith]

[@EvandroLBL]

@@ray.shoesmith Thank you bro.

[@alfaalex101]

That was so relaxing to watch. Thank you

Beautiful work.

[@user-ge6hf2xs4r]

Amazing attention to detail!!!

[@SteveBlancoMusicianWarrior]

Absolutely stellar work, man. As someone who works on guitars constantly here in NYC, I appreciate your world. Also, a very fine choice of guitar worthy of a such a restoration. Cheers.

[@leonisalpha4537]

I don't know what is it about this but i found it so enjoyable. Watched trough it without blinking. As a guitar player and lover of all things guitar related, this was just awesome to witness. Learned some things too. Bringing this old bird to its former glory is so....sooo cool. Thank you sir.😊👍

[@Andybassguitar]

Thank you!

2nd SIDE NOTE videos like this feels as if we get to make love to the instrument with much more than just music 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 XD 🦊

[@pauloesterle9823]

Great work my good man

[@allanwilliams1325]

Wow. Without Doubt the best restoration video I have seen thus far. Your attention to detail is first class.

Thank you!

😱 I have the same guitar exactly !!

[@fessfikkle]

Simply Poetic. Pure Art.

[@DrMurdercock]

True craftsmanship. I love this shit. Fucking amazing. Keep it up!! I have learned a LOT from these videos. Thank you for sharing these secrets. Some luthiers would be mad about someoine showing all these tricks

[@skalewilly]

What a great job!!!! Congrats!!!!

[@Edje001]

Very nice job!

[@Andybassguitar]

Thank you!

[@dbspecials1200]

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.

[@Calvin-pn5ud]

The mockingbird shape always reminds me of Hide from X Japan.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

You are X! We are X! Rest in peace Hide-sama.

[@DSKim-ej5uf]

Very good ! 좋은영상 잘보고갑니다. 감사합니다

[@peteolson6093]

This is probably as close as I'll ever get to an original mockingbird standard - so thank you very much! BC Rich obviously had a good deal going on Hawiian koa (Acacia koa) back in the day, as today koa would cost too much for a production model.

[@jaysison6987]

Those sticks you use to fill tread holes are quite a something. Hoping to find some of those in my place.

[@donrutter6765]

Great work and attention to detail. ❤

Thank you!

Such a really good taste in video editing

[@reginaldfitzpatrick8681]

incredible work and awesome video! the mockingbird with a hand-rubbed oil finish looks stunning. much better than the gloss finish IMO

見ていて心地良い、楽器界のASMRの様な動画だと思いました。

1:12 well that's a badass Bridge this one zooms perfectly the type of B.C.R Guitars that i like not that ultra over the top spiky modern nonsense that you see all over the place give the Belmont his stylish vintage classy beauties such this and i have to say again, MY DYING BRIDE is been one of the may reasons of why i start digging my this B.C instruments despite me been all about BLACK SG style of Guitars 🖤

[@hydorah]

What a cool guitar glad to see one of the old war birds getting the love she deserves. The Mockingbird is such a wacky shape and as a design it's actually aged well!

[@JeffersonLZ84]

Excellent video, damn and I thought I was OCD about guitar restoration haha!

[@chrispruitt5877]

I definitely would want this guy to work on all of my guitars. He is the simply the BEST. You remind me of the late Ed Roman (meticulous workmanship).

[@Studio_Earth]

That's a great looking guitar. Nice job.

[@Andybassguitar]

Thank you!

[@jesussosa2726]

Dude the least I can do is hit a like on your video! Great job man!

What an amazing job you did, great video.

Thank you!

[@cloven1971]

I really hope to meet you one day. We become friends of the love of guitar repair and the like. Then you take my 98 Gibson standard. And shellac. A teal absinthe green top. And that nice natural mahogany back and neck. As well all the other fascinating things you do. That shows your true car for the instrument. And what it means to others. Just beautiful work and patience. You time and detail do not go unnoticed my Friday. Just master class craftsmanship. Thank you for these videos so much. May you and your family be blessed for the coming new year.

Yep, I had some back in the 80's, I did a lot of reading before I bought them. They were awesome. Didnt measure the ohms but sounded great !
