B.C. Rich U.S. Series WarlockMore commonly known as 'U Series' due to the serial number, these guitars were only produced in 1984 and 1985.They were built in Japan, and had final assembly in the USA custom shop to provide a cheaper alternative to the expensive USA guitars available.I bought this with a badly done home paint job, and a few badly done modifications.I had a full repair/refurbish/repaint done by a local luthier including a new Kahler 7300 Hybrid Bridge, replacement period correct R logo black tuners, MOP replacement inlaid headstock R, and new Dragonfire pickups and wiring.Bad points; it's a well used 30 year old guitar. The paint has a couple of marks - under the headstock where it must of been hung on a wall hanger before the laquer was dry. Where it had extra control holes filled, the paint has sunk so you can see where they were if you hold it up to the light.The first few frets are worn, but it plays perfectly without buzzing.Including buying and importing the guitar from the USA originally, buying the replacement parts and having the work done, I spent in the region of £950!Beautiful playing guitar!It will come with a hard case.
