Another Warlock

[Paz]

 I was at the big Guitar Center sale today and came home with a brand new Warlock to go along with my older NJ series with the Floyd Rose, this one is the Deluxe series, solid bridge, (awesome, no more problems tuning down to D and back to standard), Widow headstock, (I'm afraid of breaking it!), and the greatest part of all... neck thru body! Every guitar I have ever owned has been a bolted on neck.

 I have been playing a Jackson DK2 for the past couple of months and it is a nice guitar, but I found out quickly that the volume knob is in the way for my playing style, and I didn't like the center single coil pickup, I had to lower it into the body to keep from hitting it with my pick.
So I guess once a BC Rich man always a BC Rich man, I love the Warlocks and always have, I like the beasts too but that big pointy rear spike would most certainly get damaged strapped on me.

 I can't find much info on the Deluxe series Warlocks, I didn't even look at the list price, I would guess around $1000 considering they had the price marked down to $599 on the sale tag for the big Memorial day sale, I walked out the door with it including a coffin case for $475, I love Guitar Center!!

 Almost the rest of my studio setup, there is a rack setup on the left out of the picture with some various gear mounted on it (preamp, compressor, 31 band EQ, etc.).

Very nice, Paz. I saw one like that on the wall at the local music store.. On the way to the drums section of course..

 I don't have anything ready yet, I just started writing some new material, it has been around 7 years since I last recorded, it is taking a little effort to get back into shape. I plan to write and record a whole CD, I'm not able to say what it will be like at this point but so far it seems like it is going to be pretty heavy.
New song ideas are coming to me everyday, but as is the case with all the years I wrote music, more ideas will be lost or forgotten than I will ever have time to write and record.
 When I do finish this project I will let everyone here know, could be a while, these things take time and I don't have a whole lot of spare time during 'overtime season'.

I'm actually selling my Warlock.  That and my classical guitar.  Replacing them with a Epiphone Les Paul Standard and a new Fender 1600 Stage amp.  ;D

That is a bitching guitar Paz.  If my bich was that that nice maybe I wouldn't be selling it.

I know, I'm insulting the metal gods..  But I've been getting annoyed playing it.

I can't find a picture of it, but its a Bronze series, black, widow headstock, one humbucker, and it has a skull graphic behind the bridge.  It's a little dirty because it hasn't been used in so long, has some small scratches in the finish here and there, and it has two nasty dents in the spikes at the back because I dropped it.  Thats all I can remember off the top of my head.

But this is what I am replacing it with...


Always wanted a Les Paul more than a Warlock anyway.  And with the sale of my Warlock and my classical Yamaha, I should be able to afford the guitar and the amp.  ;D

[Paz]

 Well, if you feel a Les Paul style better fits your personality then that is what you should be playing, as for me, I tried going with the Jackon DK2 but it just isn't me, Warlocks are, and soon I will see how I feel strapping on a Beast, I'll post another pic, when the Beast arrives.

Jackson makes a good guitar.  The lead in my old band had a Jackson V of some sort.  It was nice, but the V style gets in the way for me.  I haven't heard anything about the Beast.  Tell me what you think of it when you get it.

les pauls are very nice, ive got an epiphone and a gibson, and the difference in quality isnt as big as you'd expect...  a friend of mine has replaced his stock epi pick ups with gibson '57's and it sounds sooo good now.
ive put emg's in my epi les paul and it sounds just like zakk wylde's  ;D
im gonna look into getting a bc rich at some point, but ive just ordered and esp truckster (james hetfield signiture) so i gotta wait a while!
