Re: BC Rich USA Warlocks

I had the baddest Warlock on the planet and like a complete idiot I traded it. The single worst thing I ever did music wise.
Custom shop Warlock
Bolt on 22 fret neck with Iron Cross inlays
WWII German plane camo graphic body
Dual Dimarzio hums
OFR
I would sell or trade anything to get that guitar back. I don't even have a pic of it anymore.

Custom ordered in mid '85 and received Feb. '86. Factory Floyd, Full active electronics harness (or 'Supreme harness' which is what the workorder said) DiMarzio pickups, Black painted matching head, bound Ebony board, pearl clouds. This was my dream Warlock & still enjoying it all these years later. I LOVE the traditional 3 on a side head on these. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Warlock WHS is (was) the regular Warlock, but with binding on the body, neck, and headstock. It's a badass looking piece in Black with White binding.

There's my Wartribe. All maple, Kahler, EMG 81 and 85. It's heavy but plays very nice.

The inlays are a little sloppy and there's a tiny bit of imperfect masking in the paintjob. However, the sloppy inlays have been on 99% of the Kerry King guitars I've seen. Kerry's tech told me Kerry's guitars are like that and that the paint jobs aren't perfect. If I'd have paid full price, I'd be pissed. I still paid quite a bit for it but I'm happy with it overall. I had Neal Moser take a look at it and he said the neck angle isn't 100% correct for the Kahler but it's not a major deal and that the inlays are pretty typical BC Rich Mexican luthier style.

Re: BC Rich USA Warlocks

Here's my flamed baby. Completed mid '87. Same electronics as the other, bound rosewood board & head cap, Badass bridge. Very lightweight for an all maple guitar.

A little tiny guitar store in Covina CA, called 'The Fret House'. The guys that owned the store knew Bernie pretty well & they would often get stuff much quicker than normal.
