Yeah i was just looking for a possible starting point..if i decide to sell. This was my first "good guitar"...i think i paid close to $1400 or more in 1987. I'm looking to upgrade some other stuff so i'm looking at selling this and/or a Taylor 814CE.

Used BR Riches don't fetch nearly what they should be worth. They are great deals to pick up though. The ones I see that sell for good money are from the 70's, usually Koa guitars and custom made stuff. The BC Ricos usually sell well.

It was actually originally red and purple. It was sunbleached into those colors.

Nice.
Should be "good and unique guitar". Are the block inlays stock?

yeah when i ordered from their catalog in the 80's you could pick everything. The Kahler Tremelo, The color (with metal flake option), the inlays, Ebony fretboard, pickups...it's a custom order. Then I waited for it to be made and sent out...I don't remember all of the options for the little toggle switches i see on some USA models (i don't even know what they are for). The pickup configuration is pretty standard. 3 way Dimarzio with two volumes and a tone i believe (it's been a while).
The neck and playability on this guitar is incredible, it sounds great as well...I wish i didn't ding up the edges over the years. Partially these guitars are a pain to put on guitar stands which accounts for half of my marks (and the old belt scratch on the back)
I have lots of stuff I "need" which is why i'm thinking of selling (I never thought i'd sell it). By need i mean want, and i want a Strymon Timeline Delay, Mesa Boogie Mark Five 25 (which would require me selling my Peavey Triple XXX as well), Some upgraded modules for my Egnater MTS preamp, and another 1x12 or 2x12 (Mesa/Orange or Bogner) which to do all of that would probably require downgrading my Taylor acoustic and selling my BC Rich if i can get a worthwhile amount.
I also have a 1990 or 1991 RG570 that I put EMG's in, but sometimes i've seen those on Craigslist go for the price of just the 3 pickups, haha...
I can't remember if I posted my gunslinger in here
Right now I've got it on CL, trying to get some money. Idk why but recently I'm not into strats. I kinda hope no one buys it from me though just in case I get into strats again someday.
I even bought a white superdistortion for the bridge. I thought the white would look cool with purple.
If I fixed this thing up with a superdistortion and a d-tuna it might be good to keep as my standard tuning/drop d guitar. If no one buys it from me. Hm.....

Picked this up last week, planning on changing the pickups to some sort of passives - probably gold pole pieces for maximum bling. Sorry for the .... pic.
I've really got the pointy guitar bug, sold a couple of superstrats to fund the Pro-X and now I'm on the hunt for some older Japanese or USA models...

I would seriously not sell that Warlock because this is the first U.S. custom shop Warlock I have ever seen with block inlays. IMHO, that is freaking rare. I know it's your guitar and good luck in your decision and or sale.

Does anyone know what happened to the BC Rich forum? I signed up months ago, but i can't login and there is no links to email anyone. BC Rich Players - An Online Community and Gallery Showcase
It is super lightly used.
I find B.C. Rich Junkies on Facebook to be much more useful for all things B.C. Rich
I can still sign in, so it is still up. But the main forum I read hasn't had a new post since July.

I"m still wondering myself. I've been on there for YEARS and I think something happened about 3 years ago that I'm still unaware of between some members and forum owner. I think I may be one of 5 active posters on there at this point. It used to be so great there.
I won't use FB, so can't participate on that group.
What are you asking for the guitar?? Link to CL ad?

Wow!!! Very cool collection of Beast guitars. When I scrolled down the page, all I saw were sharp body horns and strings.

I haven't yet, i'm still trying to decide if i want to sell and what its worth. The Facebook group is nice but the format is bad (not like a forum thats easy to read or keep track of threads).
