Product Information
This guitar looks sinister enough to frighten your Granny ?. The BC Rich Warbeast pulls no punches, it resembles a growling angry monster waiting to unleash its forces of evil onto the unsuspecting world of rock music ?
To me it looks like a prop from one of those Halloween horror movies, oddly misshapen it could have been made from hunks of wood from the off-cuts box as there?s hardly anything symmetrical about this instrument.
However, I guess the kids who are going to buy this are primarily concerned with the image that this guitar will convey ? rebellious, brooding and surly ? in fact they should have called this guitar ?The Teenager? ?
Its Basswood body has a bolt-on neck and Rosewood fret board with 24 frets whilst the power source of this guitar is undoubtedly the twin hi-gain hum-buckers one located at the neck and the other adjacent to the tune-o-matic style bridge that uses string ?thru-body configuration. The pick-ups are managed by a single volume and tone control and in-between is a 3 way toggle switch for changing between each pick-up.
The high gloss black colour gives a striking effect with all hardware chrome plated including the die-cast machine heads, the bridge and the volume and control knobs. The neck has a noticeable lack of fret markers and the instantly recognisable BC Rich head stock is the one that is known and loved from the Warlock range ?

At around £150 pounds I didn’t really expect this guitar to set the world on fire, and in fact I was right. Although reasonably well made, this guitar doesn’t give you that intimate warm feeling when you pick it up to play it – probably due to the intimidating body shape.
The neck is slightly cumbersome and a tad wide for my liking and when played without a strap it becomes difficult to attain a comfortable playing position with the guitar sat on the lap – due again to the body shape.
Ok, I’ll admit that the pick-ups pack a lot of gain and it shouldn’t take much sound shaping before you’re playing hot squealing metal riffs from this baby, although I don’t see it being used for anything more than that particular genre of music.
Metal lovers will admire this instrument and it is undoubtedly aimed at that market, quality wise you get what you pay for with this guitar and whilst it plays reasonably well it doesn’t set the world on fire, and I’m sure there are better quality guitars available at a similar price …
