B.C. Rich Review: Platinum 2000 Warlock

History:

Purchase: after about a few months of thinking about it and reading gear reviews i decided to pick up a warlock at a small store in CT called East Coast Music Mall for about 400$. didnt get a nifty coffin case like anyone else got with it, a standard bass gig bag will do.

What I Like About This B.C. Rich Platinum 2000 Warlock: the guitar screams out metal the first time you look at it. the pickups are pretty decent but are still only bc rich sealed stock pickups

What I Do NOT Like About The B.C. Rich Platinum 2000 Warlock: I really didnt like the stock strings put on there. they were way too light for my tuning range, i tune to B or A most of the time, the fingerprints really stand out on the body, and the nut snapped a couple of times so i had to get repair work done on that. plus the strap knobs are placed a little odd and your strap comes flying off alot for no reason

B.C. Rich Platinum 2000 Warlock Quality Rating: overall the construction was pretty good. black finish. the rest of its pretty much plain wood. i would like to spray it all black and green though someday and drop some seymour duncan pickups and a fernandes sustainer unit in there and then its basically the perfect guitar. i also replaced the spring on it and its pretty much all set as far as work now.

Review Summary: bottom line pretty much, beginners really shouldnt buy the guitar. theres alotta work to be done on it. plus the neck can be a pain to adjust to. You also really dont even need a distortion pedal on this one, the pickups distort the hell out of the sound and it sounds really nice on a marshall stack amp.

Rating of this B.C. Rich product: 4
