ive been wanting a warlock or stealth for a long time and found someone for a trade. first pic is mine (what im trading) and the bc rich is what id be trading my jackson for. my jackson is just a simple jinky model almost perfectly setup though plays great. this bc rich warlock however has a couple issues: i had to raise the bridge to stop any buzzing on the 2nd,3rd fret when your fretting the first ( now the bridge is crazy high )/ the bridge pickup is toast (doesnt even work) / truss rods needs needs some sort or tightening. beside thats the bc rich plays pretty good. where im at now is i have a couple days to decide and need advice, should i do the trade and maybe put $200 in on a professional setup and new bridge pickup or not trade and just save up a little more and buy one myself. dont know anything about bc rich bronze series but the neck slant scares the shit out of me lol. thanks

I've been playing guitar for 35 years, and I never once gave BC Rich much thought. Fast forward to last month when I saw this Mockingbird Exotic Classic for sale for about $400. The seller was 5mins away from me so I went and checked it out anyway

It had problems so was able to haggle down to about $165, so I got it thinking it'll look nice as wall decor at least.

Got home, opened it up. Resoldered some wires, stretched the strings, and cleaned it up. Now it's my favorite guitar! It plays so nice!

By the Diamond inlays and the OEM Gotoh bridge i would say late 80s NJ series, but not sure, electronics seems to have been modified and i can't find anything based on the serial number

Why would he?

i feel like these guys don’t make many of their models, any time i check all the best looking ones aren’t in stock with no estimate of when or even if they’ll ever have them again, and i can’t find one anywhere else

The last couple of shows and practices I’ve been having a blast using my platinum warlock 😎
It’s been between this guy and my red Westone dynasty. I don’t know what it is but I’ve been feeling the itch for pointy basses lately 😈😎

Well, kind of. My dad bought it around 20 years, but he played it maybe for around a week and then stopped playing guitar. Around 3 weeks Ago, whe got it reapaired and ready to dimebag!

ST Warlock for sale at Glen Burnie MD Guitar Center if anyone is looking.

Any info on what this is??

Our debut is out there https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/artist/4ncgHhTfjk3Dv0CCrE3bVt

Even the inlays are pointy on this one

Wanted one of these for a while, finally saw one I thought was worth it and had to get it, it looks sick.

My crown jewel. Has the thinnest and smallest neck i ever played in any guitar. Plays like a sport car. Neck through, mahogany body, high quality rosewood fretboard, all the cool Neal Moser pre amp and switches. Got it from the original owner from Germany who bought it new from a shop in LA. its everything i dream about a proper B.C. Rich. I have owned over 30 B.C Riches over the years including imports, US custom shop. Cheers

Still lots of practice and tightening up to do, but pleased I can hit most of the notes at full speed!
Question for you tapping maestros, because it’s the first song I’ve learnt with a lot of two-handed, multi string tapping - what are your tips for minimising string noise between taps? I know fret wraps are an option, but I would like to clean my technique up as much as possible first. I assume 90% of the secret is just practise more, but if you’ve got any other advice, I would appreciate it!

Hi there, could somebody help me with this?

Thank you.

I got this warlock NJ series for 100 bucks recently. The seller noted that the guitar was an early 2000s model, but the kahler flyer series bridge seems to be from the 80s if I understand correctly. There’s no serial number anywhere that I can see, can anyone help me out with identifying a bit more about this beast?
