I got this guitar, paying 100$ of the 180$ total from Music City just after christmas. I bought this because I'd never seen a bc rich before and was mesmerized by the style and affordability of it. It is not an actual warlock, it is a mock by galveston.

well, the tuning pegs suck, but they do tune it just fine, they are stubborn and screech a little bit. The neck is alright, 24 frets has me satisfied. But it seems harder to play than other guitars with my .010 red devils' on it. The pick-ups are okay, one regular metal style and one humbucker. Though the bridge does hurt my palm, i tend to mute more on the strings. Though, i remember about 2 and 1/2 months after i got it, there was an internal wiring problem, so i took it into guitar center and they fixed it for free =D. If this was a strat then id hate it, but style consumes me as im a heavy, speed metal rocker, and when i jam, i love it. |

this guitar is AWEFUL! do not read the other reviews,i collect guitars and this guitar is noisy and gives feedback,it also has a bad action,the placement of the bridge scuffs up your palms when muting,the 5th string rings badly.
if you want a cool looking axe for a decent price buy the dean v (the 250$ or ? one).
If you buy this guitar (thats if you haven't stopped reading by now) replace the bridge pickup with something good.Like a seymour or a EMG,something with a nice warm tone.
it looks cool.thats about it.

This guitar has nice features. As far as i have played so many other guitars all the way from First Act (SH*T, tht one sucks), to Fender strats which were okay. But over all the BC Rich warlock is better then em all. The controls and pickups are good. The strings are pretty nice. Only problem is the straplocks are kinda hard to put the strap onto, their HUGE. |

I got my Platinum series from The Rockshop in New Zealand (since I live there). Cost me NZ$895, which is a damn fine price.

|

Features |
|

It's a simple setup, two solid sounding humbuckers, three way toggle, two volume and tone. The Widow Headstock is a nice touch though, but a pain in the butt to tune at times, since the clearance between the sweeping curves is minimal. Mine came with an (annoying) trem bridge. I like the weight. It's heavy, yes, but I think that simply adds credibility to it's fearsome reputation. The scale length is a bonus too, allowing easy downtuning and a 24 fret neck. |
|

| |
| |
Playability |
|
|

The neck is a bit slow, that's my only complaint. The tuning, once you've got it set up to match the bridge, is fine as long as you dont try divebombing your way in to the history books. The heavy varnish on the neck could have done to be a lot lighter, maybe a satin finish, simply to alow a bit more accuracy when using this brute. |

The Warlock is about what you expect for a good guitar at a great price. The sound is thick and heavy on the neck, with a bit more cut on the bridge, though it does not sacrifice ball-breaking bottom end to do it. Your picking position can give you all sorts of tones without touching the knobs. The background hum is minimal at best, even on my crappy little amp. I've found ti to be more of a rhythm guitar, not a true lead guitar unless you're packing some decent effects. As a guitar designed to kick audiences in the teeth, it performs marvelously. |
|

| |
Durability |
|
|
| |
The Warlock is certain tough, though dropping it on tiles is not recommended. I managed to take two substantial chips out of the headstock and some of the body paintwork. Saying that, I've had no issues with the tuners, and the knobs work perfectly, with no sluggishness or looseness in the movement. The biggest issue is the trem bridge that came on my one. While a trem is nice, it's affected too much by string tension. Tune up a top string, and the bottom end falls away. Otherwise though, it's a very solid axe. |
|
| |
| |
| |
Overall |
|
|
| |
Overall, this guitar is precisely what it should be - loud, brash, and ballsy. For the price, it's a bargain. I wouldnt advise the model I have to anybody looking for good trem action, but if you're a metal rhythm guitarist or you just like big, heavy tone, then I'd definitely advise this instrument. It has done me right for 2 years now, and hopefully for many more years to come. |

what could i say about this guitar. the look and the shape didnt need any explanation. it had an mahagony body with an maple top. the neck is maple too with thick rosewood fingerboard. the tremolosystem was build by floyd rose.
default it was deliverd with two humbuckers (neck and bridge position) two volume and one tone poties. the hardeware is black. the first color was ivory-metalic white, but i changed the color because the lacquering wasn?t so good.
now it?s black with an airbush.

the reliablety of the hardware is amazing. when the neck had correct fret placemt ( hope it?s corerect the german meaning is "bundrein") it didn?t changed. the same apply to the floyd rose system.
the pick up?s aren?t so good. they wheez and there was a permanet buzzing.
so i changed them.
this guitar is the one and only heavy metal and hard rock axe. therefore i remove the neck pick up. for the bridge pick up i set an emg 81. |

It has a fixed bridge which annoys me sometimes but I hardly use a tremelo anyway. It hasn't got many different sounds but if its a metal sound you want it perfect. The frets are a little bit big for my liking but im used to my Fender's smaller neck, although it has got 24 frets which is needed for solos if you decide to tune yoru guitar down. |

The Warlock is a hefty guitar, and it takes a real man to carry it. I mean really, it will make your arms bigger! My initial impression was 'this is difficult to play with'. But it's sturdy, and has a distinctive sound. Dark, sinister. The Kohler FR bridge is an interesting feature that i've never seen on any othe BC Rich. The new versions are all using the licensed FR, or the speed loader. It works out pretty well. The controls are good, I mean, I'm not too picky. Volume, and tone. Plus a tone switch. 3 way pickup selector for two humbuckers.
I've played many guitars, and many other Warlocks, but this was probably one of the best used instruments I could have got my hands on, all it needed was some TLC when I acquired it. Intonation, and some re-tightening style maintenance.
Right now it's in the shop having an EMG 85 and EMG 81 installed in the neck and bridge. Should sound amazing when it comes back, tuned in C.
I really reccomend the current models of platinum pro series warlock, it really is a great sounding axe, and much easier to play than the model I have. As long as you have no prejudice to it's crazt-ass style... this guitar really provides a unique playing experience. |

Compared to other metal guitars on the market, the Warlock is probably one of the heaviest. Even larger guitars don't out-weigh this medieval weapon shaped thing. I still remember the first time I ever saw a Warlock, that's what kind of impression it's shape leaves on the viewer. I coincidentally ended up owning one many years later. I still remembered the shape perfectly. How unique.
A jagged, heavy weighted, axe shaped monster. A true metal guitar.
However, it's dimensions does have drawbacks. The Warlock is a bit tough to play at first, and will give your arms and hands a good workout. I played the Warlock for a few months, then picked up an SG. My hands felt magical when I moved onto LTD's and other easier to play instruments. |

The pickups on the Bronze edition are trash. But it's the beginner's model, and as you progress to the higher level models, the pickups are actually quite good. I bought mine second hand, the pickups were kinda old and trashed, yet they still sounded good enough to play for about a year and a half. EMGs are being installed right now.
It's sound is distinctive, and it can serve as a rythym guitar as well as a lead guitar, as long as you have the strength to master it, like I said, it can be difficult to play!
The overall quality of the instrument is better than average, and of good quality for the price. Of course, depending on the model. The custom shop puts out some real hype ones. |

As old and worn as my Warlock is, it stays in tune for a long time, I rarely have to adjust the tuning, or struggle with it, even when I'm going from standard to C and back. As long as I've had it, I broke one string, due to overplay. Only two other strings have broken on it from the mistreatment of others. A friend of mine dropped it on the pavement in the garage, it suffered no visible damage. The corners were already a bit chipped and scraped when I bought it, so I keep the corners padded with a small application of electrical tape. Which is a point I would bring up to the buyer! It's real easy to scratch as it is a very jagged piece of wood.
All in all, I would trust it to lasting an entire show, and to stand the test of time. |

I bought this instrument when I was poor, in college, and needed to take up guitar again. It was a good guitar for the price, and I have spent some money over the time I've had it to polish it up a bit. It performs way beyond my expectations, as I thought it was near the end of it's life cycle when I bought it.
I record in my house, and receive compliments all the time about how different the guitars in my mixes sound, as well as at jam sessions.
Normally, I admire LTD EC's and all the coolest metal guitars out there, but for some reason this outcasted guitar has grown on me. If you're considering a different kind of guitar, perhaps the Warlock could be for you. |

The shape of the guitar makes it really accessible, I usually play sittin on a stool and it sits perfectly on my leg. After a while of playing standing up, my shoulder gets kinda tight because of the weight. |

It sounds great, even played thru a crappy amp. In mellow songs, theres little to no feedback depending on how you set your amp. I play mostly heavy, and it sounds awesome with the distortion. Its hard to explain really, its just a rich sound. |

My 2002 warlock, i couldnt ask for much more, the stock pickups are very decent, though i'll soon have 2 emg's in it, im going to put the stock pickups in my 1992 warlock when i get the emg's because they have really good tone....better than they Seymour Duncan and EMG Select thats in my '92 warlock, the 2002 has a bc rich licenced tremolo, its excellent, the '92 has a Gotoh floyd copy also, they are both very well made trems, of course a real Floyd is always better, but you know. my 2002 is made of chesswood, and has 2 volume pots, 1 tone pot, and a 3 way pickup selector, widow headstock, and a beautiful quilted Red finish. the 1992 i believe is made of mahogany because its very heavy, has a volume pot, tone pot, and 3 way pickup selector, coil tap, reversed pointed headstock it is Black with a Purple crackle finish, the reversed headstock and crackle finish make it look amazing, and the coil tap is a Very nice feature...it allows you to split the two humbuckers into single coils. |

Both Warlocks play amazing, very low action on both, yeah they are imports, not USA rich's but they still are amazing guitars. Necks are thin, but not too thin, easy to get up to the higher frets...i couldnt ask for much more, and for those of you that say you 'cant tune bc rich's down because of the tremolos' your very wrong. I play a half step down, i currently have my 2002 warlock tuned to Eb, and my 1992 warlock to Bb! (like a 7 string a half step down). and it still sounds and plays amazing. |

Sound quality couldnt be better, even with the crappy seymour duncan in my 1992 warlock, it still sounds good (the duncan for some reason has No clean tone.) my 2002 warlock, the only thing that could make its tone any better is a set of EMG's which, it will soon have. |

I've had my 2002 warlock for a year now, and its never gave me any problems. The 1992 warlock came with a few problems, but that was the previous owner's fault, not bc rich's...it had been refretted, and whoever did it didnt do a good job...the fretboard's coming off the neck on frets 1-3. |

Over all, BC Rich is my favorite guitar company, they make the most amazing sounding And looking guitars, from their USA Customs all the way down to their entry level bronze guitars, they are all high quality instruments with some pretty sweet features. I currently own 3 BC Rich's, and i would never sell any of them for anything, and i Will own many, many more Richs....They arent a company like Ibanez who doesnt have handmade guitars OR a custom shop, and make their high..no Over priced guitars out of the same wood they make their entry level guitars.(basswood...for a small lesson on basswood, Paint kills a lot of basswood's tone.) They have reasonable prices, and guitars that will make you drool because of the Looks, and then when you plug it in because after you hear the tone and feel the playability, you wont be able to put it down. |

I have a B.C. Rich Doc Murdok Warlock and it has everything i expected and then someI put two humbuckers in and now it picks up like crazy. Its true that when you pick it up you dont want to put it down or play easy on it at all...i have another for the other rock scence. I use a double stack marshall set and a RP100 Digi-tech and it gives major benifits. you can play easy easy harmonics, touch harmonic and pinch harmonics on it. I love the head and the chaotic body shape as well as the shape of the head. I have it in a body art collection series and the body art is awesome. I dont have one complaint about B.C. Rich at all. i have been playing for almost 6 years this christmas and i have played many different types and this one just radiats me. B.C.....keep up the good work! For those maggots out there.....if you 555....then im 666! |

This item is really reliable, it once in a while gets out of tune but im not sure if thats because i tune by ear alot and play drop C & D and everything or just playing it hard and letting it sit over night....curiouse? This "machine" is definatly reliable for live gigs, i am in a band called NUMB and its awsome, we priviously have #1 local band in Tucson....we tribute to slipknot once in a great while....try it prove it to yourself! |

I bought Warlock from a guitar center in ut, it was the exclusive series for guitar center so it has a relly awsome paint job on it. And of corse being in ut im shunned away for having a guitar made of pure evil.

its pretty good in the features department lets face it the looks are awesome and the chrome hardware sets off the gloss black head really well, it is a very loud guitar so playing metal comes natural the only thing I don't like about it is that mine (the bronze series) doesn't have a seprate volume for each pickup so doing Randy Roades style selector flicking doesn't work. |

The thin neck makes it easy to hit frets spaced farther apart so its easy to bust a huge solo on it, if thats your style. It's natural loudness gives pretty bad feedback but its shape allows for easy access to every fret including the 24th on the low-E string. Also despite its "shredar" shape it won't stab you playing it sitting down. It is also very heavy so playing for a long time standing up can make your muscles tired but it makes for a good work out lol.
I've played an Aria, Fender, Jackson, Silvertone, Shecter, Epiphone, Ibanez and a Gibson SG, but by far the B.C. Rich has been the easiest to play, and the most fun. |

Like i mentioned before its loud and creates feedback, so metal and hard rock are the natural music choices for this guitar. However light rock, jazz, or blues styles are almost a definate not on this guitar. Since I bought it I put on set of Ernie Ball strings (heavy bottom skinny top) and combine with my Boss DS-1 distortion pedal it makes a very thick distorion sound that is perfect for heavy metal styles. But if jazz or blues is your style DO NOT buy this guitar it going to make your life miserable, it has actually found a way to add minor distortion to the clean tones of my amp so it is almost imposible to play clean jazz blues with it. But if you are looking at this guitar to buy you probably don't play much of that anyway. |

This guitar is built better than a tank. I have accidentaly stuck it in a ceiling fan and it barely chipped the tip of the widow headstock. It begs to be played really hard and most people will tell you it needs to be tuned often but I haven't had any trouble. |

In my opinion this is on of the greatest guitars of all time, combining great playability with wicked looks. No matter where you play it, it is bound to receive alot of attention, and the great presence of the looks make it perfect for playing on stage. (Unless you're playing at a church) |

I bought my Bc Rich Warlock off the internet from an online music store. I ddnt know what to expect, and which in the series to buy, but after looking through many of the online reviews, it seemed that the Bronze model (the cheapst) was not that far off from the quality of the higher priced models. So, i got the Bronze. Unfortunalty for me, because i live in England, there was a huuuuge amount of shippin, tax etc.

The tuning does go out a lot, whihc can get quite annoying.
It has an outragous shape, and as a result, it has taken a bit of a beating. I knocked the guitar on the wall, which has left me with no coating on the corner :( A black guitar with a wooden corner....nice! :D |

Overall, it is a pretty average guitar, unless you are willing to fork out some extra dosh for some new pickups and maybe even an effects pedal. It is pretty cheap though, (as long as you live in the states!) so if you have a tight budget, i would recommend it. I have played it basically everyday since i got it, so there must be something good about it! |

I was looking at the wall of guitars at the local guitar store when this long curly haired dude that jammin' on a "red" BC Ritch Warlock SAid he had a "black" one just like it out in the car and would sell it to me for $75-100. Well naturally after O.Kaying it with the boss (wife), I gave him $75. I think it pissed off the guy working there but I didn't care cause he would only offer me $40 for my Yamaha. Prick.

Since it's the Bronze series I didn,t expect much but for the price i paid, it's an awsome gitfiddle. Stays in tune for the most part but the tuning pegs are hard to turn. Doesn't get as much crunch as my Yahama (which has less pick-up) but with a multi-Fx pedal it does just fine. Has nice action and the cut away body makes it a sinch to get to those hard to reach places. |

I bought my Warlock @ a local music store in WV. second hand (used). The clerk at the time of sale (My salesman.) couldn't have been more than 19 or 20 and looked as though he had either just pulled an "all-nighter" or was "F.U.B.A.R.-Stoned". When I asked to see it he replied "Killer, the old guy wants to feel the wicked peice" afterwhich he removed it from the wall and stood looking at it for what seemed an eternity before handing it to me. He further insulted me by asking if I was sure that I wouldn't "hurt" myself with it; "It's a shred machine thats all". I began with Van Halen and ended with some WASP played thru an AX2 demo amp (They go together so well!) then asked if the 500.00 price tag was firm or perhaps negotiable. I bought it for 275.00 2 hours later after ok'ing it with my wife and borrowing from her the extra 75.00 I hadn't had at the time. When I returned it was to more of the jolly "old guy" aggrivation initially experienced. It payed off in the end though,...he threw in a hard shell custom case, 2 packs of Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings and a hand full of picks. I later was told by a friend that the guitar, like the case was of custom manufacture. The three DBL. hummbucker - four dial- with lowpro Floyd Rose, kind. I had owned the guitar a little more than a month when another friend of mine tried to tell me what I had. I didn't believe him. We got on the internet and couldn't find anything like it. My friend also owned a Warlock. His was a NJ series and except for all the extras looked identical to mine. My personal opinion is that someone really suped this thing up. I don't think its a custom for one reason:It's a bolt on, not a neck-thru.

Hard to access the upper reaches of the fretboard (For me) because of the body style. Tonal quality is superior to most of the other guitars I've owned in the past, though I'm not sure of what exact type of wood is used in the Warlocks . To me it carrys tone like a Basswood body. The weight is another factor that points in the Basswood direction, because it's exceptionally light unlike Poplar body guitars etc. I know next to nothing when it comes to guitar size scale such as 5/32 or whatever but the odd thing about mine is that while I don't think it has a "Jumbo Fretboard" the neck does seem slightly larger than any other like mdl.'s I've compared it to. |

Currently I play a Jackson Kelly series and I gotta tell ya I'm love'n every second of it! I find the Kelly's body style to be far more "Fretboard Accessable" than the BC Rich Warlock and a little more comfortable when strapped to the front of the body. The Kelly like all the other guitars I've owned does seem heavier than the Warlock. On a scale of 1-10 with a Parker Fly series rating a solid 10 and a Gibson Les Paul studio being somewhere (way) above that; I'd give the Warlock a strong 8 score. I feel very guilty over this so maybe even a ,...well...8.5! |

I've hammered away at this thing for over 3 or 4 years now and only gave it to my oldest son (18- yeah, go figure...from the old guy!) a month or two ago. He was so moved he gave his Carvin to his little bro. my second oldest who also was stoked over recieving a way cool guitar. The only problem I ever had with the Warlock was with one of the string saddle things inside the trem that had to be replaced, and I guess that we can either blame one of two people for that...myself, or Floyd Rose. I'd take one on stage anytime and never give it a 2nd thought. Simply put; Warlock's Rock! |

I first saw a Warlock being held by Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. in a picture in a magazine (Don't remember which one.) and thought it would be way cool to own one. Later on I found out that Coal Chamber's lead guitarist played an acrylic version of the Warlock. I very much like the music of both these bands so.... |
