« on: March 26, 2011, 09:20:15 AM »
Hey im considering to swap one of my guitars for a Bc rich calibre warlock, those are european handmade guitars which should be quite nice. My first guitar was a warlock back 10+ years ago and i kinda miss it, because i kinda like its shape.

Frets: 24 jumbo 2.7mm
Factory strings: 9 – 42
Nut: 43mm locking
Scale: 24 5/8”

Bridge / Tailpiece: Floyd Rose original tremolo
Pickups: 2 black Rockfield mafia humbuckers

Click to see control diagram
Hardware: black

Special features: ALL Schaller hardware, special white pearl guitar shaped R logo

You may already know that i play old school grind/thrash metal. I like guitars with a lot of picking attack. Searing tone and lots of presence.

Out of interest, how are you planning on installing Tele pickups into that guitar?

I was also wondering about that. Besides that I would throw in Stockholms.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

You can get some conversion mounts for humbucker/tele pickups :)
