idrum4food Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Just purchased a mockingbird neck through body blank. I haven't received it yet but was wondering what to expect as far as the neck to body angle. Do the Mockingbirds have a straight neck to body like the Fender or are they at an angle like the Gibson?

Where'd you get it from ? Please tell me it wasnt Ed Roman Oh , and it should have an angle like a gibson.

idrum4food Posted December 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 No. It wasn't Ed Roman. Found it on ebay. Maple neck with purple heart stripes and walnut wings. 1 1/2" thick. This guy must sell more than a few of these on ebay cause there were a lot of good feed back from previous buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idrum4food Posted December 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Most of what E.R. sells as "body blanks" are finished guitars and all you have to do is add hardware and electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 last time i was looking at that stuff they were mostly only rough cut body shapes.... considering they were never finished,i wonder what was wrong with them,for him to just give up and sell them http://edroman.com/parts/bodyblanks.htm just checked it out...these prices are a little steep,to be polite http://edroman.com/parts/bodyblanks/images...bcr_gry_900.jpg $790?

Meegs666 Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 he claims most of his unfinished blanks came from factory closings and stuff like that. since he's obviously in so good with these southern california guitar guys i guess he got first pick (or so he claims). he would much rather hand make you a lawsuit guitar from the ground up and charge you sh*t prices than actually finish a body blank from the actual company because that would mean he would have to charge less in order for all cordialness since he never really had to lift a fricken finger on it except maybe sanding it down and adding its hardware and pickups.

idrum4food Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) OK, I've finally received this body and neck blank today. Using a straight edge on the neck, I measured the distance between the straight edge and the body where the bridge would be installed and it appears to be about a 1/4". I was expecting it to be a little more. Is this going to be enough? Edited January 6, 2005 by idrum4food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executioner606 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) What's wrong with Ed Roman? Just curious. J Your lucky you didnt ask this on the BCRBB or MCS shredder. All or at least most of his BCR blanks are fake. His site said , "Original USA made in the 70's BC Rich Ironbird Bass Body Blank" If you know your BCR history you know the ironbird sure as heck didnt come out in the 70's Edited January 6, 2005 by Executioner606 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xebryusguitars Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 yeah i suggest never to buy off of romans site, they give off the vibe that they sell the most expensive things ever even though they have body blanks there that are like 40 bucks, and they price match. they're site is orginized terribly. the only good deals are in the store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
