9of7 X 3of2 Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 I allways thought it would be cool to cross an Ibanez S model body with a Warlock. But someone beat me to it, but since it was BC Rich that did it I'm not too mad about it. VERY BEAUTIFULL!!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=33035 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nordic Gawd Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 wow. that my friends is a beautiful guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9of7 X 3of2 Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 and it comes with a matching beautifull price tag as well. If I had the money, I would not hesitate to buy it, but since I'm poor, I'll just have to attempt to build one like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 I was going to post the exact same guitar... pretty huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 i love it...i hope my carrieburst turns out as well.it is going to be a v with that soloist type carve...if i can figure out how to carve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Y'know, I have a Warlock body I made that's been on the back burner sitting here, pretty much done. It's a Chambered (read: both sides completely hollowed out) 1-piece Ash body that has been waiting for a nice topper. I wonder now if I could pull this thing off? Wonder if I could graft on some longer horns like that before I put a topper onnit? Hmmmmmm...... Thanks 9of7 for posting this, you might have really helped me out! That guitar is HOT!

StreamLine Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 not quite, i still think Jackson and Ibanez have SOME level of creditability on the guitar market. Ibanez are many shredder's first choice and most guitarists i know love MIJ and MIA Jackson; though ultimately, you are right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 i mean they went after the same market.i don't agree that any of them ruined their reputations.but it is true that the $99 warlock sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9of7 X 3of2 Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 ....Thanks 9of7 for posting this, you might have really helped me out........ No problem Drak, after hanging out here for a bit I've come to notice that everyone loves pics of unuiqe instuments. Plus somewhere in the Guitar body chat section, someone asked about doing this sort of thing to make his/her BC Rich Beast, to make it more comfortable to play. I've been wanting to do this sort of thing to a warlock for some time, but with no tools and skills, well you get the picture. I've only been able to picture the outcome / methods in my head. And to see it done, pretty close to what I was thinking of was pretty neat. If and when you do this Drak, PLEASE return the favor and POST PICS!!!!

9of7 X 3of2 Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 ......but it is true that the $99 warlock sucks Yeah they suck, but for a begging guitar palyer working at Mcdonalds, its a gift from god. And for someone like me that wants a cheapo' warlock just to trace, measure, and some day try a simular stunt as the guy at the custom shop that made the guitar in that auction, it is also a gift from god Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I am SO out of the loop on newer guitars, I never even knew this thing existed until now, so THANKS!!!!! I made those pics my new screen saver to kep it right in front of me. Winter is a great time for me to do new drawings, body shapes, etc...I am really going to see if I can adapt mine in any way to this, I am really lovin' the look of this version. I might even just go ahead and make another one, I have some 1-piece Ash here that is only about 1 1/8" thick, it's too thin to make a regular body out of, but I could slap a Maple top on it, carve it, carve the back out in an inverse carve, and make it work like they did here I think... That is one HOT lookin' guitar me thinks... What kind of Floyd would you use for such a thin-bodied guitar? Or the fact that the top is carved makes up for the difference, the top of the carve being high enough to accomodate the full Floyd? Y'know, 2 things I noticed... 1) the blue they did that in I can cop perfectly. I looked at it up close, and it looks -exactly- like some blue tints I shot this summer, so I know I can cop that color dead-on. 2) If you look at the tremolo cavity, notice how deep they routed the back section for SEVERE up-pulls? I love that, I do mine pretty much that deep too. On my tremolo installation video, Erlewine only showed to route down to 5/16" or so, that pocket must be nearly 3/4" deep. Gotta watch the springs tho when pulling that hard, they can pop out on normal models...he had a fix for that, making a 'tailblock' to trap the spring ends in place...wonder if BCRich does the same thing, offering a deep cavity like that...

westhemann Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 it is 1 7/8" in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 aHA! Well that answers that! Normal Floyd will fit then. Thanks Wes. That's be an awfully nice big fat piece of Maple to carve down...I almost feel guilty wasting nice Maple like that... ...NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckguitarist Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 i mean they went after the same market.i don't agree that any of them ruined their reputations.but it is true that the $99 warlock sucks I think it's good that BC Rich makes guitars at this price range. It allows any kid who wants to be like their hero, Kerry King, Slash or whoever, to have a guitar that resembles theirs. This probably is what inspires a lot of kids to play better, not love for music or any of that sh*t, just wanting to look like somebody cool. Think about Jackson. When they were first starting out and Randy Rhoads started endorsing their guitars, teenagers could just go down to the factory, pickup a body for $20, a neck for $40 and build themselves a cool looking guitar.

darren wilson Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 That's the prettiest BC Rich i've ever seen. I still don't like their body shapes, but that's about as nice as a Warlock is ever gonna get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9of7 X 3of2 Posted January 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 ......I still don't like their body shapes..... have you seen the ESP / LTD warlock look alike, talk about an ugly body shape http://www.espguitars.com/ltd_ax.htm Yikes!!

BLS Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 I lvoe thsoe inlay and the headstocks pretty cool but the body seems too big maybe if they fixed the shape up a bit then that guitar would be pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
