21-10-2008:

The actual one in the video clips on youtube..including the backstage clip of paul sweeping. pink BC Rich Mockingbird, 80's! Big hair! What more could you ask for?

paul said on the Racer X forum:
'I do have a few pangs of nostalgia over giving this one up.

I played this guitar a lot during the early Racer X days when we were playing The Roxy and The Country Club.

My very first guitar endorsement was actually with a small company owned by Wayne Charvel. He had sold his name to Grover Jackson, so I can`t even remember what the guitar was called. Soon after, Wayne went to work for B.C. Rich. Being a loyal guy, I followed him there. That`s when they made the fabulous PINK MOCKINGBIRD that you now own. A few months after that, Wayne moved to Gibson. I said "Enough moving!" and went to Ibanez where I still am.

By the way, the guitar on back of "Street Lethal" is actually a yellow Mockingbird that belonged to Lita Ford. My pink one wasn`t finished yet, so I had to borrow hers for the photo.

Enjoy, and please apply proper amounts of Aquanet.

Paul'
