I bought my BC Rich Warlock at a pawn shop years ago and was quite surprised at the quality. The guitar is very sturdy and well-made, has excellent hardware and the pickups (despite the negative reviews you might read online) rival some of the most expensive pickups I have played on. There is no crackling when you adjust the volume knob, and turning it down allows me to get nice clean tone without the drive and distortion. I can play super fast clean leads, The fret board is as good as any of the top guitars out there. The body shape is a pain as far as guitar stands go, but other than that it's a great guitar for the price!

I will be satisfied, but you always need a different sound. This guitar has a hard rock/metal sound and sometimes you need a different sound, but I would still say BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

The humbuckers are great, and the overall sound is killer!

Quality
one of the wires connecting to teh thing that holds the cable when u plug the cable into the guitar broke in two, but i easily soddered it back on( no big deal i gess, i thought it was at teh time but thats a common problem) not big deal, i still like this guitar

"Worth every penny"
Since I'm advanced now and I no longer use it (I have a few high-end guitars now), I'd say it's a very nice deal for what you pay.
Sound
For what you pay, this thing sounds good. No complaints. The pickups are pretty sensitive, and even moreso when they're distorted.
Features
Hey, it's a $150 guitar. They could have put a Vintage Strat trem on it, but beginners won't be concentrating on pounding on a whammy bar like Dimebag as soon as they pull it out of the box.
Ease of Use
The neck is fast, the high register frets are easy to reach, and the tuners keep their tune pretty well for a $150 piece. It's also comfortable in sitting or standing positions.
Quality
B.C. Rich's Warlocks have bodies that are hard as a rock. Their necks are average for guitars, but their bodies simply will NEVER break.
Value
$150 for a piece of equipment which isn't nearly mediocre compared to a Strat copy is $150 well spent.
Manufacturer Support
B.C. Rich have pretty knowledgeable staff, and they've been pretty helpful since I've had it.
The Wow Factor
Looks awfully nice on stage. You won't be playing a guitar like this on stage, but the higher-end Warlocks look just as nice as the low-end ones.

"This guitar does the job right and you will not regret it."
I think that once I decide to buy another guitar it would be another B.C. Rich but probably a different series.
Sound
If you are looking for a guitar for a nice death metal sound this guitar does it. I picked it up and started playing it and it changed my mind about fenders and all the other guitars out there. To me the other brand guitars are okay but the B.C. Rich Bronze Warlock has a killer sound for those who like to headbang.
Features
The accessories that I had gotten with the guitar were just the basic things that you need to start off playing guitar.
Quality
I had dropped and swung this guitar and still it is playable and sounds like when I had first bought it.
Value
The price of this guitar is a reasonable price to pay because other guitars you pay for the name.
Manufacturer Support
I never had to contact the company that makes the Bronze Warlock all but once just to give them my opinion about that guitar.
The Wow Factor
The sex appeal for this guitar is nice and sharp. It catches your eye when you see it sitting in the window or when you walk into a store. It is just a different design from most guitars so that is a good thing.

"Bc rich warlock-a great guitar."
The bc rich bronze series warlock sounds perfect in metal and hard rock like I play in my metal band. But in my other band, witch is more of a grunge band like Nirvana, I use my Fender Stratocaster. Then in the third band, a rock band like Led Zeppelin I use a Gibson les paul.
Sound
The sound is so filled with energy i can hardly explain it. If you've got a Marshall amplifier and a simple distortion effect it sounds just perfect.

Yes.

"Awesome guitar for the value"
to be honest i wasnt reallly expecting to be much better than my strat, boy was i wronge
Sound
sounds pretty awesome considering i have a epiphony neck pickup and a gibson bridge pickup....yes i know it didnt come this way nor did i put it this way, buoght it from a pawnshop so yeah...
Features
pretty basic, as for most guitars 1 volume knob, one tone knob, and a 3 way one selector
Ease of Use
as for any guitar, you need to adjuxt to what you like, really right off the bat it was as easy to play as my start, and with some adjusting on the bridge, and GHS light strings became even easier
Quality
this thing is battle scarred, dropped, thrown stepped on, i mean damn, my strat would have broken if it faced the same events. hell you could use this thing as a weapon is soo damn tough

considering i payed 120 at a pawnshop, its hella worth it

"All around, damn good guitar."
i'm the type of person that uses things till it crumbles to dust in my hands. ha ha. i'm also verry impulsive, so to me, unless someone comes up with somethin twice as good all around, and it leavs me totally awestruck, if i bought this guitar, it would stick with me for life.
Sound
A nicer set of strings. but the ones it comes with arn't tearable.
Features
as far as i know, it dosen't come with accessories. i would suggest a small, afordable, but not cheeply made amp, and a few picks. a strap would be nice, but not nessisary.
Quality
just like everything you'll ever own, if you take good care of this guitar, it will last you a lifetime.
Value
ofcourse, my opinion here is comeing from somebody that stays broke. ha ha. but to be honest.... alittle steep for me right now, but by no means hiway robary.
Manufacturer Support
i don't own the guitar, although i'd like to. a verry good friend of mine that i jam with does however. he does all the upgraids himself, and has never had a problim with it, and never had a nead to contact the company. everything accembly line produces defects now and then. it can't be avoided. but i myself have never been told about any defective guitars.
The Wow Factor
ofcoruse this is a really opionated question, but to me, i love the way the guitar looks. personally i like the black, but i think if you had it airbrushed with some cool designs it would make it REALLY hot nomatter what color it is.

"An honest opinion on a good beginner guitar"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The length of time you would go after purchasing this depends on you personally, if your skill level is fairly high, you'll probably move on fairly quickly like I did, but if you are a beginner, or an amature, this guitar wont brnig you down.
Sound
The sound is pretty good especialy considering that this guitar is only 200 dollars. The maple body doesn't resonate as well as mohogany by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not bad for beginners.
Features
Pretty standard, Volume, Tone, and a 3 way switch...same thing as my 1st guitar (a squier duo-sonic *Retired*)
Ease of Use
This guitar can do plenty, if you put higher gauge strings on this, and raise the asjustable bridge up, you can down tune like mad.
Quality
You get what you pay for, it's no Dean or Jackson, but it'll get a beginer up to speed and provide plenty of good practice. Not a show guitar, but fairly reliable.
Value
compairitively, it's a decent buy, for 200 bucks, it's not a rip off.
Manufacturer Support
No major problems, only minor things that are true to any guitar
The Wow Factor
It was really cool looking at first, which is why I got it, but over time, I moved on to better and better guitars, and now it's not the goddess I thought it was when I was 15.

BC Rich Bronze Warlock Customer Review
I will not keep this Warlock but I'm glad I tried it out. It's not my cup of tea even though I do like it's sound. I feel that a good guitar well, an overall good guitar and this isn't it. I may update to a better model in the future.
Sound
The sound is very good for heavy metal. Sort of metallic. It sounds a lot nicer than my Jackson dinky or ibanez . I haven't used it much yet so I'm not sure how long it will stay in tune.
Features
It has simple features found on many other models of this class yet not so many features as on other higher grade warlocks.
Ease of Use
It's easy to play because of the large frets. I found it somewhat easier to hit the chords than on some other guitars of it's class. The fretboard is smooth and nice. I find the body uncomfortable when sitting down. Basically, the pointy shape will dig into your chest. If you're a beginner and plan to practice a lot sitting down, I wouldn't recommend this shape. When Standing up, it's less of a fatigue.
Quality
The quality is alright although the attention to detail is not there which is expected. You pretty much get what you pay for no matter what. The strings are very poor. They will break on you in no time. Would I suggest anyone depend on this guitar on Stage? Of course not. Like I mentioned, I've only had this guitar for a short while, so far so good but I'm not going to be suprised if some parts fail on me tomorrow.
Value
The price was good. I paid $150, it was brand new. I wouldn't pay more than $200 though.
The Wow Factor
The shape does look cool but it's uncomfortable. That's the trade off.

"DON'T WASTE YOUE MONEY"
I got to a point where I could not even stand to look at it anymore. The look, feel, sound, and overall theme of the guitar become annoying.
Sound
This is, without question, the absolute worst guitar I have ever played. The soumd quality is terrible and the strings constantly need tuning. B.C. Rich has wholly and entirely let me down with this product. There is no force on the cosmic plane that could make this product sound any better no matter how many effects you use to cover up the terrible sound.
Features
Features? Whatever features they say might come with it, it will not help the horendous quality of the guitar.
Quality
It falls apart within a matter of weeks and needs constant retuning.
Value
No, it should not be legal to make someone buy this guitar.

I own this guitar and I can tell you this is the first and last product I buy from B.C. Rich.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :O"
This guitar is awesome. The Platinum series is better, even if it is a extra hundred bucks.
Sound
This is the ultimate in metal and rock, being the #1 choice of players such as Slipknot's Mick Thompson. This guitar can produce meloies like a bird, or, for those of you who prefer the more thrashy sound, it can produce uber-distorted death metal tones like nothing I've ever heard before.

The pickups are nice, but if you're looking for real features, go for the Platinum series. Way better.
Ease of Use
I've played fender, I've played gibson, I've played dean, I've played just about every big-name guitar there is, but I've never been able to do as much on a guitar as I can on my B.C. Rich Warlock.
Quality
Dude. It's a Warlock. Come on.
Value
The Platinum series is better, but the bronze (shown) is better for a beginner, lots of playability, not a lot of money.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed them. These guitars simply DO NOT BREAK.
The Wow Factor
This guitar is, without a doubt, the most aesthetically appealing piece of wood I've ever seen.

Sound
The fret board is hopeless on 1-8 on the high e through the g strings. Cool looks but sounds horrible.Better off with a cheap ibanez.

"There are way better guitars at this price and even better for a few bucks more!"
Most of people that give this guitar perfect rating, don't know what a good guitar is. Once you play the better instruments out there you realize what a piece of junk this is.
Sound
Sound is OK but now buzzes like piece of junk.
Ease of Use
It's not easy to use, this guitar is a pain in the a** to play.
Quality
After few times of playing it, the neck started making this vibrating noise and it doesn't go away. I've never had a guitar do this on me. Crap quality.
Value
not worth the retail price they're asking.
The Wow Factor
I don't want it anymore

"If you don't have the money for a fender, buy this one!"
It's pretty good.
Sound
It sound pretty good. It it once you start to hit the higher keys (epecially when soloing)it doesnt sound that great. Power chords sound pretty dang good.
Features
Didn't have very many features.
Ease of Use
Very playable and easy to play.
Quality
Made very well. Very sturdy. If you drop it or bang it against something it doesnt leave much of a dent or scratch. After 3 weeks my top pickup screw always comes lose and gets stuck under it. It takes 15 mins to fix it.
Value
Very nice guitar for a very very low price.
Manufacturer Support
Didn't deal with them so can't say anything bad.

The red is smoking hot. Girls love it. Great design.

"Metal-Ready guitar"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
this guitar is the best one i have right now due to the pickup change.
Sound
Hook it up to a distortion pedal and a Crate double stack and she wil melt faces!
Features
The pickups are really awesome. I replaced them with Emg 81 (bridge) and Emg 85 (Neck) because I am a professional player and Emg's give me the sound I need, but the pickups that come with it are great for anyone looking to start playing metal-style electric guitar
Quality
I have never had a problem and feel confident on stage with it
Value
pretty cheap

"Save your money. Save yourself a lot of frustration. Don't buy this guitar."
Already replaced this guitar after only 7 months of owning it. The replacement guitar is in the same price range and is a much much better quality product.
Sound
I can't believe that anyone can rate the sound of this guitar as being good or "awesome dude". Compare the sound to other brands. I think you will agree with me that the sound is just bad.
Features
The product came in a package: 15 W amp, strap, and bag. The bag is very cheap compared to what you can buy for 45 bucks. The amp just doesn't cut it. The strap is so cheap, you'd be embarrassed to use it.
Quality
This is an incredibly poor quality guitar. We had one repaired four times within 6 months and the store finally gave up and replaced it with another BC Rich Warlock. That one lasted a week. The store then gave us our money back to buy something else.
Value
It really isn't worth the money. You will surely be disappointed. The only way this guitar is salvageble is to completely change the electronics. But then again, you can find better brands for the same money.
Manufacturer Support
Yes I have. I can only say the BC Rich acted as if the problems with this guitar were everybody elses fault and not BC Rich's. As I read somewhere, BC Rich barely admitted they made the guitar, let alone taking any responsibility. All the problems we had were addressed by the store because BC Rich would not take any responsibility. BC Rich's customer relattions are quite frankly, deplorable.
The Wow Factor
Newver would I ever buy a BC Rich product again. Not because I think all BC Rich guitars are bad, in fact I'm sure they make some quality products, but because of BC Rich's product support.

This is the reason I'm filling out this review. Got the original guitar and it had a big chip in the paint so I called to return it. This company rocks! They could not have been nicer and I got the replacement the next day at like 2 pm. I couldn't believe it. Support is incredible.

"eh..."
the body is to big, it's a little to heavy for my comfort and the pickups need to be replaced with better ones...like i said buy an ESP or Jackson
Sound
needs better pickups put in it
Features
neck isnt very smooth, i wish it was lighter like a Jackson or an ESP EC400
Quality
made well, i beat the hell out of it and it still works fine and looks new
Value
good value for a starter...waste of money if you'll only use it for a year...if you want a more long term guitar save for a Jackson or ESP thats what i'm getting next

"Go Buy It !"
The best guitar I've owned.
Sound
The only thing I didn't like on this guitar was that the bass was too boosted (I'm a treble guy). I put a DiMarzio X2N and a Multibucker on and it's rippin' !
Features
It's got everything I need for all I care.
Aganthis body, Maple neck, Rosewood fretboard.
It just doesn't have a floyd rose, but you're looking at a BRONZE SERIES guitar, not a Platinum...
It rocks anyway!
Quality
I Have it for 2 years. It has survived many, many falls, a plane trip in a gig bag and everything else in one piece. Great construction. Super reliable!

The best guitar you can buy with this amound of money.

"Man, this is one serious kick ass guitar!!!"
if i wanted to, i would actually buy another one of the warlocks. ever since i got this one i have now, in a second, i was a serious B.C. Rich fan. however, one more thing i almost forgot, it will not fit into a regular guitar case, so i suggest get a bass guitar gig bag or get one that is made for the warlock.
Sound
this guitar is awesome! i played guitars before this so i knew a few things, and all my friends thought the guitar was gonna sound like a peice of crap cuz the price was so cheap, once i played for them they thought it was kick ass. for me i dont use it for any songs that have tapping so i just make songs with out it. i love how i can get the heavy metal sound on it, i always free-style with it, and i can make my solos kick ass!!!
Features
i really think that a strap could've come with it and maybe a cable cord to plug into the amp. the knobs give me such a selection of sound so its a good thin i have those on it. i really think that they should put a knob for distortion features and not just the tone and volume.
Quality
the cord connection gets loose sometimes, but you really only have to tighten it every 3 days to 2 weeks. i am definetly gonna use this guitar for my shows. it would shock the audience with its killer sound.
Value
when i took one look at this guitar, the first thing that popped into my mind was "that probably costs $500". but for this guitar, it has the best price i have ever seen for a crazy lookin guitar.
Manufacturer Support
the two knobs did come loose once, but that was no problem for me, i just had to take them off and tighten it on the inside, now its gonna stay tight for a longer time because the factory didnt really tighten it up enough, but that was just for my guitar.
The Wow Factor
i aint kiddin about this, but when i brought it to a hang-out kinda place, i played it, the girls heard it, and they were very in to it. that really makes this guitar a sexy thing.
