I traded a slightly upgraded cheapish Jackson Rhoads for this and some money. I thought it would just be a sweet looking dumb guitar but it plays pretty great and the kahler trem is interesting. I bought a Dimarzio Evolution for it today.

Doesn't it remind you of Street Fighter?

Looks like a Bronze BC Rich

I had one once, they fall apart and are finicky. The pickups suck. They play really nicely though, for leads.

Isn't the broze series really low end? Do they come with nice locking tremolos?

As far as I know, this is an NJ series Warlock and old enough to have come stock with the Kahler. I don't know if the quality was higher 10-20 years ago with these guitars, but this one seems quite solid and plays well.

the serial is R 848275. Do you nerds know what that means for the age or series of this guitar? It says bronze nowhere on it.

From a BC Rich history site:

Bolt-neck guitars are less precise for the usual reasons. The serial number is stamped on a neck plate, and like every other company, when the guitar was being finished, someone grabbed a plate out of the box and put it on. These still follow the same XXYYY dating scheme, but there was no particular order to thier application. If a guitar has a number of 89321, for example, it was probably built in 1987, but it could be a bit earlier or later.

Here is more:

Bolt-neck guitars are less precise for the usual reasons. The serial number is stamped on a neck plate, and like every other company, when the guitar was being finished, someone grabbed a plate out of the box and put it on in no particular, precise or documented order. These do not follow the same XXYYY dating scheme as the neck thru models. If a guitar has a number of 89321, for example, it was probably built in 1987, but it could have been assembled a bit earlier or later than 1987.

In the year 2000, they changed to the letters "BO" (Bolt On) and three digits (B0XXX), which was the actual production number, but there was no number stating the year the guitar was built. The import guitar models before November of 2000 have a serial number starting with the letter "F", the USA models do not.

F7XXXXX (1997)
F8XXXXX (1998)
F9XXXXX(1999)
F0XXXXX (2000)

I have no idea where the "R" comes from. it sounds like at 1 point they just started putting random #'s on random guitars. If I had to guess it's probably mid to late 80's

Anyways here are the links for the 2 sites.
