B.C. Rich

Description

The list of Warlock players is as long as B.C. Rich's history. It is this storied history that places the Warlock high on the iconic guitar shelf. Here's an ideal choice if you're ready to step up the ladder to one of the B.C. Rich models with set neck and stay within budget.

This Warlock has all of the features that players require for better tone and playability. The mahogany body has a long set mahogany neck with slim heel for exceptional feel and sustain. It has a rosewood fretboard that's super smooth with a comfortable 12" radius and 24 jumbo frets. Extra-Hot BCR humbucking pickups are capable of producing a powerful variety of tones. Black hardware is used throughout including Steel Dome knobs, Deluxe R-Lock Floyd Rose licensed bridge and die-cast tuners. Case sold separately.

    First of all, this is an awesome guitar. The price just makes it an even more incredible purchase, if you can still find one, that is. They are getting harder to find by the day and prices are going up. This guitar has a lot of pros, so I won't go into all of them. But I want to focus on a couple of the most important points to consider before you decide if this is the right guitar for you: This guitar includes a Floyd Rose tremolo. If you have never owned one of these beasts before, you're likely going to be overwhelmed by the complexity of what you've just gotten yourself into. Tuning this guitar is no easy feat. Watch any YouTube video about the process for tuning a Floyd Rose guitar to see what I mean. But once you get the balance right and have it in tune, it stays in tune and the vibrato is amazing. However... whatever tuning you choose (E-standard, drop-D, etc) is what this guitar will stay as. Changing tuning is far too much effort to do more than occasionally. That means that if you're thinking of using this guitar with Rocksmith or to learn in general, it's a poor choice. You can still do it, but you have to modify the guitar (the process is called "blocking the tremolo") and you'll likely want to get a professional guitar tech to do that for you. But on the other hand... one of the other great things about this guitar is the one-piece, neck-through construction. Once you play a one-piece guitar, you won't want to ever go back to a two-piece (body and neck) guitar again. Why? Because the one-piece construction allows the neck radius to be significantly smaller, making the frets much easier to reach, especially if you have small hands. The difference is about half an inch less neck radius (measuring at the 12th fret), but it feels completely different. Also, the way the tones vibrate with the instrument as one harmonious piece gives it incredible sustain you just can't get with a two-piece guitar. And... I'm out of space. :-(

    I wish it did not have the vibrato tailpiece. It tends to go out of tune.
