MGR/Bill « B.C. Rich Platinum Warlock »
Published on 12/27/01 at 15:00I ordered a left-handed version of this guitar from Guitar Center for about $295.
First of all, I love the look. The strings are very close to the frets and the frets are smoother and closer together than normal guitars. This helps a lot if you are playing for speed. A lot of death metal bands use and endorse BC Rich guitars. Another thing I like is the tremelo. You can pull it back to give kind of a wail sound.
When I first got it, it seemed kind of heavy. It takes a while to get used to, but after you do, it seems weightless. Any other guitar you play afterward will feel like a feather.
The tone of this guitar is a lot better than I expected. This particular style is mainly used for fast, heavy music, but it also sounds great if you're playing without distortion. I was really surprised about that.
There is no other guitar I'd rather have than the BC Rich Platinum Warlock. Outstanding looks, amazing sound, comfortable feel. BC Rich at their best.
