BC Rich Gunslinger?

[Shawn Lutz]

it is a Warlock. I would have known that if I would have read the entire thread first

[Shwayman11]

Well, I guess mine is an old Assassin, then. Darn, I like the name "gunslinger" better Other than the pickups, I can't imagine there is really anything different than a gunslinger......I mean, they look 100% identical in all ways. So an assassin is basically a gunslinger with a single coil in the neck... technically, it is just a version of a gunslinger. So then it still is, technically , a type of gunslinger. That's funny that they went and called it by another name....seems a bit ridiculous.

Well they weren't the only company to do that- Kramer did that too.
You had the Baretta with a single hum in the bridge, then a Pacer Imperial with 2 hums and a Pacer Custom with HSS and a Strat style Pacer Deluxe with HSS also

maybe they could have been following that model?


And to be honest- it does make sense because that way their isn't any confusion between any of the models like with the Ibanez Rgs for example. I can't tell what any of those fucking numbers mean!! :ROTF:

Warlock

Looks like a Warlock. I'd like to see pics of that beauty, too!

You guys mean this old thing?


It helped to have friends in the shop back then!

I don't have this guitar on the Unofficial B.C.Rich serial number Archive-or the Gunslinger for that matter

If you would be so kind as to allow me to add them,please send me a seperate email for each including a few pictures and the serial numbers to

Thanks in advance-very nice/unusual Warlock

[slash-ed]

Holy crap... that's one of the only Warlocks I've ever seen that I don't hate.

Beautiful!

[j2379]

awesome, one of the nicest warlocks ever made.

[Shawn Lutz]

wow...I don't even like the Warlock shape but I love that one! Sweet!!!!!!!!

I've never seen one with clouds and that headstock...is that a custom order?

[Hellraiser6502]

Yes. Custom. I had several Warlocks custom built for me...all with the classic 3 on a side head. IMHO it looks best with that headstock. Also, for me it has to be a bound flat top...the beveled Warlocks look incredibly cartoonish to my eye.

I fell in love with Warlocks (and Waves too!) in 1982 when I saw the guitarist from one of my favorite local Los Angeles bands The Sharks, Spencer Sercombe, playing his custom....

He was a BC Rich Employee and built several custom Warlocks and Waves for himself. The one below in the pics is probably the first CUSTOM Warlock built. 1 Hum with booster (pre-amp), 1 knob, non fine-tune floyd and 3-on a side head. Always loved the 'Shark' paint too on that one.

Spencer also worked at Jackson for some time.

The Sharks later became Shark Island. Here's a couple of pics I took in 1982. Spencer with a couple of his BC's.

damn....killer guitars. I agree it looks a million times better as abound flat-top to my eyes anyway. Can you post a full photo of your flametop warlock...that is a sic guitar!!!!

Cool pictures,and if you are interested in the Warlock Spencer owns,then he is considdering selling it,and yes it was the Prototype,and the Price is BIG



If you're interested email me and I'll put you in touch with Spencer's friend,price was $30,000

[toejam]

Hot damn! That is sweet. I've always loved Waves, too.

Most of B.C. Rich's shapes I think look better as basses, though.

[Hellraiser6502]

Damn!

INCREDIBLE!! There it is!

Man that guitar is one of my 5 'holy grails'.... I was lucky enough to find & buy the other 4 of my holy grails (all Jacksons) but this one is out of reach for me at that price....

Not saying it aint worth it, because if I had the $30k....it would be mine.

[Hellraiser6502]

More BC's

Boy this thread really has been threadjacked! At least it's related.

Here's another of Spencer's Warlocks. I took this in 1983. This guitar later had a 3D looking flame graphic added along the lower part of the body. Check out the trem bar! This headstock also looks good on Warlocks as long as it's reverse like this one.


Lorne, can you identify this one?? Sharks singer Rick Czerny (later Black) playing an oddball. I've always wondered what exactly it was. Maybe a proto of some shape they dropped? It was a bolt-on neck. Wierd.

If he didn't need the money for a new roof for his house in Germany,then I'm sure it wouldn't be for sale at all

What the hell is that???

I'll see if I can get an answer from Spencer on that guitar,definately looks to have a Charvel neck on it though
