BC Rich Bronze Series Warlock: An Honest Review

Late to the party, but since Warlocks are getting harder to find I figured I'd make a video. This was partially inspired by my friend Kyle at Bearded Cat Guitar Plus, check out his channel here. / @beardedcatguitarplus9485

    I've owned 3 Warlocks,a red bronze exactly like that one minus the bold bronze writing on the headstock. I changed the pickups and the wiring harness and now it's great. I had a black one series which I sold and a Core model that I play all the time with the 3x3 headstock. Bronze are a good mod platform.

    My Warlock is a platinum New Jersey series with the batwing headstock and Floyd Rose trem, it also came with the string locking nut, the Floyd Rose also boasts fine tuners on the bridge and a solid ebony fret board. I have had this thing for years, I love the sound as well as the appearance. I love it so much i bought the matching Warlock Bass. Off the rack BC Rich was one of the heaviest sounding axes out there when properly tuned and toned, they can shred, they can be mellowed out, they punch out hard chugging riffs that just make you want bang your head so hard you almost stroke out......seriously, for the $$$ you can do a whole hell of a lot worse than ones these puppies.

    Haha! Loved that intro! That BC Rich is pretty impressive! Slash used a BC Rich guitar to record most of 'Appetite For Destruction'! For the overdubs, he used a Les Paul copy made by a VERY talented luthier. So that got me thinking. This morning, I finally accepted it. It's not my guitars. It's ME. I uploaded 2 Aerosmith covers last night and this morning. I wanted to see how closely I could match Joe Perry's 1959 Gibson Les Paul. I used a different guitar for each video: a $650 Epiphone Les Paul Modern I just got in October. And a Monoprice Indio 66 DLX Plus Goldtop Les Paul I got in August. I used Guitar Rig 5 and matched what I researched about the 1950s Fender Twin Joe Perry used for the 1975 'Toys In The Attic' album. I set the EQ to sound decent and let fly. BOTH guitars sounded nearly identical to his '59 Gibson! So, I'm convinced now. It's not the guitar - it's the player: how they play and what kind of an ear they have for tone!

    I picked one up today for $140 used, very great condition minus the rear body scuff up a bit but who cares. The pickups aren’t much & nothing a SD JB can’t fix. The 3-3 tuning heads can be upgraded easily, yes, ball sack. The neck feel and fretboard are fkn great in feel & play. The wife will give me shit yes but it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass on. One more thing, this is my very first BC Rich I’ve ever had as I play Jackson, LTD high end models. I don’t know what the body wood is but this thing is hella heavy, about 8-9 lbs. I’m sure the upgrades will improve the overall quality of this guitar. Keep rockin 👍🏽

    I love my Warlock Plus FR, so much easier to play than my Epi LP, and has sustain for days.... Basswood body, burled maple top, mahogany neck through, rosewood fingerboard. The input jack on mine is inset, so it's aligned with the body instead of jutting out of the bottom. I picked it up from a collector that bought it new and never played it, so it's in mint condition.

    Since this video the Bronze Series have jumped into the $300-$350 range. I just bought a blood red body with the blade graphics, and the neck and all hardware was missing. No matter, as I have always wanted one in the back of my mind. To get the project going I found a decent Dean Vendetta neck for dirt cheap, and it has a less pointy headstock than the widow style, and actually will match the body quite well. Since I have a background in auto painting, and more recently guitar painting, I plan to do it in a snakeskin look like a Warren Demartini signature, and use Duncan Zebra Invaders. I've wanted one forever, and in my 50's now. If I want one, I better get one while I am still young enough to enjoy it. I will be hotrodding the hell out of it.

    I used to have a bronze warlock with a single pickup that I bought in NYC for $99.00. I ended up trading it along with an epiphone les Paul jr and a hamer slammer for a Schechter Diamond series Damien 6 with EMGHZ pickups when I moved from my parents to my own apartment. Even though the Schechter is a higher quality guitar that I love, I kinda miss the Warlock due to the shape.

The Bronze series was a featherweight wimp compared to the other 2, had a junk pickup and sounded mediocre at best.

    I bought one of these 15 years ago. It was laying in the floor at MF . 2 strings missing, $125 . They gave lots of freebies with it . Gig bag, picks , strings ,strap , capo at no extra charge. Back when MF was still a musicians friend . And yes , the input jack kinda sucks. I had to go in and solder it twice. I was gifted a Charvel Pearl a few months ago and it's a great guitar but, I can't get the same sounds and playability from it as I can the Warlock. I've never modded it in any way. I have a 60 series Crate tube amp and I can make the Warlock sound like every guitar from Fender to Ibanez . Blues to Metal . I like it mostly for the sound not the look . My friends give me shit, calling me Lita Ford and CC DeVille . But they also like the way it sounds and plays .

    The only issue with my bronze is that the BDSM bridge pickup just doesn't deliver for the crunch I look for or pinch harmonics. Also no but tremelo/vibrato system. Other than that it's a solid guitar. I wrote the lenghty review on Reverb and basically it's been said right here, the higher end models have the bells, whistles, paint, wood and more handmade than power tools. This is why the more vintage BC Rich's went for alot originally and still command high prices however, if you don't have the skills you won't be able to fully make use of that high end axe. All in all Bronze is great to a point and then you either upgrade the guitar itself or onto the next!

    I just bought a Bronze series warlock for 200 on facebook. The serial number starts with a 6, It has a single bridge pickup, an invader which i assume was installed later. It has a strat style bridge but I cant find any info on it. Cant find any bronze series with a single bridge pickup . Its in really good shape, still has the plastic on the back plate, heavy and built like a brick shit house.
