MGR/Anonymous « B.C. Rich Platinum Warlock »
Published on 06/24/01 at 15:00Purchased the guitar at a Music Store in northeastern S.D. Paid $400 for the whole unit.
The Platinum Warlock is a great guitar for anyone at any skill level, beginner or pro. Great quality construction, tone is great, the dual noiseless humbuckers work excellent, and the stock strings last a long time. This guitar sound varies from crisp clear clean, to punchy, heavy overdrive (When used through distortion pedals).
The only things that bother me about the guitar is that there is no composite/single volume control, but independent pickup volume knobs; The guitar is a little heavier than most guitars and your shoulder can get a little sore after a live performance; I didn't like the fact that the tremolo bridge wasn't a locking one, and get be annoying when palm muting or resting your hand on the bridge.
As I said before, the quality is above average on the unit, and the design is cool too, because it is different from the "Strat", "V", or "Gibson" guitar styles.
Overall, The sound quality is great; Contruction is great, with flawless design. Watch out for the non-locking tremolo, though. Otherwise, the B.C. Rich Warlock Platinum Series is a great guitar worth playing or at least looking at.
