MGR/mike adams « B.C. Rich Bronze Warlock »
Published on 02/14/04 at 15:00I bought this at Guitar Center for 170 dollars. Its my sixth guitar, but I love the body of this. I plan to replace the pickups and electonics eventually.
First off, I HATE slipknot and all nu-metal. I know many kids bought this as a first guitar because they pop huge boners over it...but in my case its different. I've alwasy kind of admired its unique shape, so i decided to go ahead and get one. I play metalcore (as i lay dying, it dies today, bleeding through, etc...) and this guitar works real well for that. ESPECIALLY death metal. Playing anything else feels weird. The strings close to the fretboard helps alot for fast picking too. Stock, the strings are pretty lowgrade, but that can be easily fixed.
for being only 170, this is a pretty nice guitar. As i said the strings are kinda bad and I plan on replacing the pickups. Also I think i need to buy another bag, because the headstock pokes out of my standard padded bag with the warlock. oh well.
seems really strong. A lot of people complained about the weight. It's really not that heavy. True, its heavier than my Gibson SG, but theyre light to begin with. Nothing that you can't get used to. Its a bolt on neck, but seems bolted in well. When i got it home and plugged it in, the jack went into the body...the genious who put it in put the nut on first, then the plate on top. but i just went in and got it out, no big deal. but other wise the contruction is great.
Definitly a good guitar for anyone and a good project guitar. Really worth it.
