Hi Hughes...
First off, did you think of the AMP? You did not say anything about the amp...
There are starter packages by B.C.Rich with a Bronze Warlock and a B.C.Rich Amp (BCL-10), and to tell you quite frankly, I HATE the sound. It's really awful. Granted, it's only a practice amp, but it sucks nonetheless.
If you are serious with guitar playing, you will outgrow that guitar after two years at the latest, probably sooner.
I mean, I love the shape. When I first saw it, I felt I just HAD to start on that guitar.
I can tell you about the Warlock Bronze that it sucks. The pickups are awful. The bridge is of poor quality, in fact it will lose some of its chrome color if you scratch it and so. The nut is of plastic. The tuners aren't that bad I must say. For the rest, it has an agathis body.
It seems to me that you are starving for a B.C. Rich. Great, ok so. If you are also dead sure you'll play seriously (and I mean DEAD SURE), then I suggest to wait a bit and get the better guitar. And stop thinking whether people will think of you as a poser. Most won't know the difference between a Bronce and a NJ anyway and if they do they will more likely appreciate it than anything else.
And, what about the amp?
EDIT: If you are planning to buy a Bronce Warlock and to mod it, you'll have to mod it damn much. At least both pickups and the nut. Perhaps also the bridge although that's ok for the moment, and if I were at it, I would also get better tuners just for the sake of it :-P
Oh, when you remove the nut, you'll probably find out you'll have to clean the routing there and sand a bit. Same goes probably for the neck pocket.
