MGR/Steve-o « B.C. Rich Platinum Warlock »
Published on 05/30/02 at 15:00I have been playing guitar with a crappy Kramer Focus for about a year when I decided to ask for a new guitar for Christmas. I asked for a B.C. Rick Warlock. I've always loved the way they look, nd i had been a fan of Slipknot for some time, and I admired #7, Mick Thompson's Custom Warlock. I think my parents got it for around $450-$500.
First off, I must say the look of the guitar is really cool. The pointy edgs, the widow headstock. A beautiful black finish only sow ugly fingerprints for everyone o lo-and-behold, while the chrome hardware on the black sticks out like a nun in a Slayer show. Its a beautiful site-- but I might be over exaggerating...
the covered humbuckers are really hot, and pickup just about every vibration the strings have to offer. although these pickups are desigened for metal, they have an unually sweet sound when played clean.
The bridge is a regular tremolo, and give the neck extra slack wen using thick gauge strings. the neck is quite easy to move around on, probably because the strings are set fairly high, which is a great thing when playing heavy metal. the extra jumbo frets give a little more leniency with fingering when playing fast power chords. the guitar is also very easy to tune, although it doesnt come out of tune that much.
Well, when i like to play, I love to stand up. I also like to have my strap low. I notived that the neck on the guitar is heavier than the body, so the guitar is a little unbalanced, causing your hand to get a little tired while holding it up while playing. Also, make sure not to bump the headstock into anything, it gets chipped very easly. I learned that the hard way.
The pointy edges are great, the humbuckers are hot, the neck is heavy... but overall great to play.
Great to play heavy metal with-
Suprisingly Sweet.
