MGR/SmashingTokyoDrummer « B.C. Rich NJ Series Warlock »
Published on 04/04/02 at 14:00I bought this at guitar center for $400.
The main reason I got into BC Rich guitars was obviously the look. This guitar is probably the most beutiful guitar I've ever seen. The widow headstock makes the warlock look great. The guitar plays great. I had never had 24 frets before and after i got this guitar i was able to play completely new things. The floyd rose was also somthing new to me. I love the easiness of having the tremelo right under the palm of your hand. The pickups are very sensitive, this could be good or bad, i think its pretty cool though.
There is really nothing wrong with this guitar, the only reason i had a few disapointments was becuase I didn't know the bad sides of the floyd rose. I was unaware that with a floyd rose tuning to differnet tunings is very tedious and messes up the spring tension. This made me decide to swap it in for a platinum warlock (normal tremolo) and a stop block. I also didn't like the fact that there was no pick guard, but i guess that can be fixed easily.
The NJ series warlock is built to last. The strings are low on the neck but high on the body so even without the pick guard it is difficult to sratch the body. I had no problems with the construction of this guitar.
This is one of the coolest guitars I've ever seen. The only reason i disliked parts of this guitar was because i was niave. I would recomend this guitar to anyone. Great looks, sound, and playability.
