Value For Money : Excellent
Asian manufacturing, assembly and finishing copies, vastly superior to "Platinum Series", not to mention the "Silver Series" hmmmm ....
Simple easel-type tailpiece Gibson without tremolo (I do not know what it's called) very comfortable to palm mute the game and very quick to change broken string
Handle typical BC Rich, all dimensions (width, thickness, rounded down / flattened top, size frets etc. ...) are perfect for playing metal (heavy rhythmic power chords / solos twist), the same as on my other BC Rich ... BC Rich handle anything! rosewood fingerboard, I'm not sure of the essence of the handle itself. It is made of wood, except the head plexi. The junctions between the parties plexi (body and head) and the wooden handle and are glued together by a form a little "tongue and groove" cast in the plexi: it's beautiful, very well made and solid.

2 BC Rich humbuckers, their "shell" is made of transparent plastic red purple the most beautiful effect with all of the guitar. A selector 3 positions, one for each knob volume and a tone knob general style chrome, too perfectly assembled and adjusted for mechanical style chrome head also, aesthetically and finishing qualities: it is flawless!

UTILIZATION

As stated above, BC Rich neck optimized for a particular type of game so yes it is always nice :)
Ergonomics in terms of shape, it's a Warlock! So for most excellent hit hard! is not afraid to Riffer above, it is very simple, with a strat I feel like a toy in the hands and it may break at any moment. The Warlock is a skyscraper of hitter is acquired, no need to rewrite history ;)
Weight: a monster! plexi is very, very, very heavy! Yet the body is thinner than on my Warlock classic from 1993, and fortunately, because it would have been 10kg! Provide a well padded strap laaaarge not you fart a collarbone!
Access to acute: it is a BC Rich Warlock handle. Nothing to add it rocks.

Do you get a good sound easy?
this is its weakness: the BC Rich humbuckers sound drafts, suffocated, while lacking gain! However much you turn the selec knob and in every sense, this is "muddy", it lacks clarity, definition, potato. It will therefore make adjustments with your amp / distortion or change the pickups if you have the audacity. An instrument as beautiful, is not "tinker" with no. Or was absolute confidence, personal, I do not see myself risking a scratch or a wrong move in such manipulation, for you to see ...

SOUNDS

Sounds like what is said above average because of the microphones BC.
Dry unplugged sound is very good, as the guitar as a whole is done carefully, and as surprising as it may seem, the plexi sounds great! So yes it's a bit "cold" but the sustain is just ... crazy! it is very solid, I really like personally, which confirms to me that those are the mics who sin because it lutherie, ring!

OVERALL OPINION

almost 10 years.
favorite, I just tried the beast 5 minutes time to check the quality of finishes. it was not my first guitar, I already knew what I wanted and why should not need to make a big deal!
+ Feature: the look extraordinary, the overall quality of workmanship which I repeat is XEM-E-RE-PLAI, even for the BC Rich! (I have 4 shovels of this brand)
Feature - the weight! mics passable.

Quality / price ratio: excellent! purchased € 700, for such a manufacturing quality AND a devastating look, it's worth it.

With the experience I would take more because it no longer!
