This Josh Williams Mockingbird Special stands on its own in the crowded semi-hollow electric market with stellar build quality, exceptional playability, and tones that are exactly what we want in a great semi-hollow.

This gorgeous Vintage Cherry Mockingbird Special (mahogany body / maple top) came to us from a local customer who'd custom ordered it and needed to part with it due to an unexpected event (it was just delivered and never played). There are some unique features on this Mockingbird that are worth a quick look...

Loaded with Dr. Vintage humbuckers, these pickups are designed to bring authentic P.A.F. tone to modern guitars, delivering clear, warm, and balanced sound that lets your instrument’s true voice shine. Featuring precision winding, individually tested Alnico-2 magnets, and carefully matched components, these pickups offer the vintage feel and musicality of classic Gibson humbuckers. In a word? They sound amazing.

The neck carve is another highlight—it’s slightly chunky but incredibly comfortable, with a .85” measurement at the first fret that feels just right in hand. Think moderately chunky ES-335 with a soft V (less shoulder on the carve) and you'll be in the ball park.

We can’t say enough good things about Josh's Mockingbird. It's the perfect guitar for players who aren’t quite connecting with a Gibson but aren’t ready to make the jump to higher-priced options like Collings. Kudos to Josh and his team for creating something truly special!
