B.C. Rich Kerry King V Generation 2 Guitar, Two Toned Tribal Design over Fire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This guitar was the fourth guitar I bought. At first, I thought it as a entry level guitar. But after playing for a couple of times it blew me away. I have an Ibanez XPT700XH and a Marshall 1000W tower amp. I tried to compare the sound quality and pick up's performance , I was shocked to hear the BC rich produce more powerful heavy sounds than the Ibanez. Thus, if your a metal freak like me this guitar is good for shredding and sweeping but for recording and stuff, this is not the guitar to look for.
For: Graphics, volume and tone adjusters , value for money and the most important part: The Looks and the whammy bar.
Against: Plastic Humbuckers , No fret inlay stickers like the advanced series ,only some dots above(that would have made it look cooler). Body quality-A bit heavy and its made in china.
All in all a badass guitar to add to your collection. For metal: BC Rich. For pro: Ibanez. (I am not a pro)

If you're one of the hundreds of thousands of people to see Kerry King on stage with Slayer recently, then you've seen his Generation 2 graphics. This faithful reproduction of his latest graphics features a new two-tone tribal design floating over fire. The rest is hot too: the Kerry King V2 model is equipped with B.C.R.A. active pickups, a Kahler tremolo, ebony fingerboard with special inlay, and an evil-looking Beast headstock.



Kerry King Approved B.C. Rich GuitarsKerry King has earned his reputation as one of Thrash Metal's premier guitarists by consistently delivering crushing riffs, ripping tones and live performances with the ruthless precision of a Panzer tank division. Just as consistent is King's stated preference for B.C. Rich guitars, which have fueled his sonic fire for years.

B.C. Rich works closely with Kerry to offer a selection of "Kerry King Approved" guitars that meet both his demanding expectations and ours. From the Signature Wartribe and Kerry King V to the Metal Master Warlock and Beast V, these are guitars that reflect Kerry's requirements for consummate playability, tone and construction. Pick one up and you'll see for yourself why Kerry King slays the masses with B.C. Rich guitars.

Basswood Body With Beveled TopBasswood provides a warmer tone than maple and other hardwoods, along with great low-end response, and is overall a lightweight wood. It's perfect for "V" style body shapes just like this one.

The "Generation 2" tribal graphics, framed by fire, are just the icing on the cake.

Beveled TopMost of B.C. Rich's body styles employ a beveled edge around the shape, including this one. In many ways bevels on a top are similar to facets on a cut stone. They catch the light and reflect at different angles, giving the instrument more of a three dimensional look. Some of the B.C. Rich top bevels are extreme and wide while others are subtle and narrow. Occasionally the shape of the instrument is accented by painting the bevels a contrasting color.

Bolt-on ConstructionA number of B.C. Rich guitars use a classic Bolt-on construction. On these instruments a neck (typically maple) is bolted on with 4 screws to the body. This construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides the option to change the neck in the future.

The Kerry King V Generation 2 features a maple neck with an ultra-playable natural satin finish, and a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with just a 12th fret tribal inlay, for an extra ominous look. The "V" body shape makes access to higher notes a breeze, so you can shred away in that upper register without any problems.

B.C. Rich BRCA PickupsThis axe features B.C. Rich BRCA active pickups, for an aggressive tone that's virtually noise-free. The onboard preamp provides a higher output signal, and as a result you get serious full-range tone with plenty of control--from chugging rhythm tracks to squealing leads.

Kahler X-Trem TremoloAnyone familiar with Kerry King's playing knows he doesn't shy away from some serious tremolo abuse. Do the same, from epic dive bombs to more subtle enhancements, and stay in tune. Sharing all of the features and benefits of the Kahler Hybrid line, the Kahler X-TREM series models include onboard fine tuners and 6 way adjustable saddles: side to side for perfect string spacing; front to back for accurate intonation and up or down for ultimate action and radius matching.

B.C. Rich Mockingbird Special Electric Guitar, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Out of the box, mine had a slightly high fret & a switch that needed adjusting (common problem with this style of switch).
That being said:
This Mockingbird has become one of my main go-to guitars and can cover just about any musical ground that I want it to. The neck-through construction gives great sustain an feedback to the player. The Tone-pro's bridge is rock-solid. The Rockfield pickups are punchy & warm with just the right amount of bite to cut through the mix. Plus, I've added a push-pull coil tap to one of the tone knobs for even more versatility.
All in all, it's just a spectacular guitar that only needed a little setup TLC out of the box!
Love it!

Dean V Inferno Electric Guitar, Black With Blue Flames Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this awesome guitar for about 2 weeks now and cant put it down.
It almost feels like it plays itself. This guitar has incredible sustain,
the pickups are great all the way from crunch to warm and mellow.
This is a great deal for such an incredible guitar.
The inlay work looks great and the neck through body really gives
this guitar the tone and sound that DEAN fans have come to love.
The maple body is as light as a feather and feels great and
is properly balanced. This is another shred MACHINE from the DEAN
masters.
For some reason the inferno has not been as popular
as some of their other guitars and i cant see why. This plays as well
as the dime from hell and the Dixie Rebel.
There is NOT a double locking Floyd Rose trem on this axe, there is a tom style bridge and the ever faithful Grover tuners which do a great job
at keeping in tune.
I would recommend this to your ammo collection of great guitars.
If you are a collector of flying v guitars do NOT pass this one up!

B.C. Rich NJ Deluxe Warlock Electric Guitar, Onyx Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Both my son and I own this guitar. Well actually, I own the original 1983 NJ with all of the active electronics special switches and the Kahler tremolo. Mine was made by the master craftsmen in Nagoya Japan, hence the model NJ. My son owns the new one, made in Korea. Although they do not sound alike, the new one is well made and worth every penny. Honestly, the Korean guitar makers are really good right now. Although the pickups are stock BC Rich made, the guitar sounds deep and punchy. It feels wonderful and plays like a dream. The action is so low (1/32nd at the 24th fret). We took it to Hobbs at Union Grove Music in Santa Cruz to have it set up with low action and 11-52 GHS strings. Hobbs is the BOMB!!! The finish is really high quality. It is probably between 3/64th and and 1/32nds thick. It is not headstock heavy, but it is not a light guitar. I honestly feel that it compares to the quality of the originals and the USA BC Rich guitars, too.

B.C. Rich Dark Arts Warlock Electric Guitar, Satin Gray Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All I can say is that this guitar rocks. Got it from Amazon over a year ago and waited to see how it would hold up to my normal everyday abuse. Well, all I can say is after about a week of pounding the strings finally settled in and it held it's tune for a good while. I just had to replace the stings after 16 months of use - amazing. A little fine adjustments here and there, but nothing major.
As for the guitar itself. It's actually well balanced and the sound is incredible. It sounds better then it looks with the Rockfield Fat-Ass pickups - the one near the bridge is all I use, but they both sound pretty good.
As most of you should know, these guitars do not come setup. As you can see from my photos above I had to adjust the neck a little and I also have to adjust the Floyd Rose Original a little too. After that it has been the best guitar I've every had. I've been at this for over 30 years and I've had both very expensive and cheapo guitars, but this is my favorite one to play.
With that said, know that this is a custom made guitar. There are a lot of the B.C. Rich Warlock guitars out there, but this one is a custom made Dark Arts guitar and comes with loads of extras. I've only seen a few of these for sale during the past year, so they didn't make too many.
I say, if you can get your hands on one of these - go for it. I did!

B.C. Rich Kerry King Signature V Guitar, Black with Original Tribal Graphic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this guitar!
It exceeded my expectations in every way. Where to start?
This neck-through design, shape, and feel of the guitar is amazing. The neck construction is very tight and smooth. Binding would just get in the way. Its very smooth.
The frets and action on this guitar are low and fast. I love low action, and the Kerry King Signature V didn't disappoint. It so easy to hit harmonics when you want to, and the size of the frets are perfect for speed.
The abalone tribal inlays were one of the biggest surprises of the guitar. They are high quality abalone shaped in the KK tribal pattern and are very colorful when the light hits them. The pictures don't do them justice.
The best part of the neck, beside the headstock that just looks demonic in real-life, is the ebony fretboard. I've always been very picky on the fretboards I play on and was concerned about some other Ebony fretboards I've seen. However, it is simply AMAZING on this guitar. The Ebony is smooth, no discoloration, and the perfect curve for playing fast. Bright when you want it, chunky when you need it. I just can't get over how happy I am with the ebony fretboard.
The sound of the guitar is pure evil. Fast and heavy. It has a deep growl that you can feel pushing air when you play on a half-stack. Between the EMG pickups, the Kahler tremolo, and my personal favorite, the PA2 preamp, you can get some insane heavy sounds.
The PA2 preamp is great. It gives a 20db boost and when you hit it on, you can hold a note in a long sustain pretty much forever. Its perfect for over-the-top solos.
The look is amazing. Again, the picture don't do it justice. The guitar I received had a black Kahler tremolo instead of the chrome one you see in the pictures. I didn't specifically ask for a black, maybe that's how they're all made now. However, it gives it a much harder look. I haven't had any issue with the tremolo after restringing with 10 gauge and down-tuning a 1/2 step. The beveled edges give it a more white outline look to it in the pictures, its much darker looking in normal light.
Again, the sound is awesome.
I really just can't get over how cool this guitar is. I'll admit, I'm a SLAYER fan, and if you want that same heavy, evil sound... this is the guitar.

This is a Signature King axe for a reason! Top end parts like a Kahler tremolo, Grover tuners and EMG active pickups help deliver all the roaring tone Kerry King is famous for. While a Kerry inspired tribal graphic adorns the beveled edge top.



Quality ConstructionKing's Signature V features a maple body for a nice, even tone--even at monster volumes. The hard maple neck with through-body design means serious sustain, and the ebony fretboard is graced with abalone tribal inlays.

This axe doesn't skimp on hardware either, with Grover Mini-Rotomatic tuning machines and the flat-top Kahler tremolo bridge. Paired with killer electronics, this V is definitely ready to live up to the Kerry King legacy.

Beveled TopMost of B.C. Rich body styles employ a beveled edge around the shape. In many ways bevels on a top are similar to facets on a cut stone. They catch the light and reflect at different angles giving the instrument more of a three dimensional look. Some of the B.C. Rich top bevels are extreme and wide while others are subtle and narrow. Occasionally the shape of the instrument is accented by painting the bevels a contrasting color.

Neck-Through ConstructionB.C. Rich is known as one of the pioneers in Neck Through construction. They utilize it on many of their guitars, because it provides the best possible sustain, resonance, comfort and access to higher frets. Neck-through has long been considered the premium construction method for high end guitars. This construction starts with premium North American maple or Mahogany and runs from the tip of the headstock to the end of the guitar. This means that the headstock, fingerboard, pickups and bridge all are mounted to this single sound foundation. Sonically it is a difference you can hear. The neck-through construction also allows us to cut away more of the body and neck at the neck joint which provides comfort that no bolt-on or set-neck could offer. You will find the neck through feature on all of our top of the line B.C. Rich models.

EMG Active PickupsIn the bridge position, the Signature V boasts an EMG-81, a high-output pickup designed especially for the lead guitarist. The 81 is at its best for high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. Whether you're playing power rock and roll, or overdriving your amp, there's a razor sharp attack, and incredible sustain for brilliant soloing. If you're looking for exceptional qualities in a rock pickup, the EMG-81 is the one.

An EMG-85 is in the neck position. Although the EMG-85 has more measurable output than the 81, its frequency response and string interface are different. The 85 uses two Alnico magnet loaded coils with a wide aperture to maintain a beefy lowend and a fatter top end. Because of a more natural tone, it works great as a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output but isn't muddy.

Kahler TremoloThe Kahler 7300 flat mount series locking/floating tremolo system is designed to drop onto any flat top guitar. All 7300 series models include onboard fine tuners and 6 way adjustable saddles: side to side for perfect string spacing; front to back for accurate intonation and up or down for ultimate action and radius matching.

Grover Mini-RotomaticsThese precision machines fit guitar headpieces that will not take full size machines. The mini buttons provide more space for players' fingers (even larger fingers) to tune strings. Gear ratio is 14:1. Sealed-in lubrication keeps Mini-Rotomatics perfect for a lifetime.

B.C. Rich Warlock Revenge Electric Guitar, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)BC Riches are known for their wild styles, and they may not be for everyone, but the Warlock is a classic, almost iconic design, and this Revenge model stands out in a crowd and demands attention. It is truly a beautiful instrument, and the widow headstock is like a crown on a beautiful queen.
No Floyd Rose tremelo setup on this baby, it has a set bridge and is ready to rock straight up. Whether you are a lead or a rhythm player, this axe will give you everything you need. To me, the most important thing about a guitar is the action. This guitar was ready to go right out of the store. A quick tune-up of the strings and this thing was a weapon. It is not as heavy or cumbersome as the BC Rich Beast can be, it feels very comfortable while either sitting or standing. The classic twin humbuckers give you a warm tone and a rich sound. This guitar straight up rocks. One of my best guitar purchases in the last 5 years.

This flat top version of the Warlock comes in black with white binding and white with black binding. The Revenge Warlock sports a bolt on neck, trademark widow headstock, Chrome hardware, and two high output humbucker pickups guaranteed to rock. White with black binding or Onyx with white binding.



Agathis Body With Beveled TopAgathis wood, like ash or alder, is firm and resonant, offering great sustain and a focused midrange at an affordable price. It's perfect for the Revenge Warlock's non-traditional body shape.

Flat TopSome of the B.C Rich shapes are offered with a flat top. The flat top styling gives a bold and pristine look to the edge of the instrument's shape. Usually when the flat top feature is used, B.C. Rich adds a stripe of single or multi-ply binding around the edge in a complementary color. The binding on a flat top finishes off the edge cleanly and gives a sleek and clean look to the instrument.

Bolt-on ConstructionA number of B.C. Rich guitars use a classic Bolt-on construction. On these instruments a neck (typically maple) is bolted on with 4 screws to the body. This construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides the option to change the neck in the future.

The Revenge Warlock features a maple neck with an ultra-playable natural satin finish, and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with white pearloid dot inlays. The deep cutaways make access to higher notes a breeze, so you can shred away in that upper register without any problems.

B.C. Rich BDSM PickupB.C. Rich designed their BDSM humbucking pickups to provide a solid sound and to be durable while delivering high output. BDSM stands for Broad Dynamic Sonically Matched. Which simply means that the pickup is designed to reproduce a wide range of frequencies accurately (broad dynamic). Then they are tested and matched in pairs (Neck and Bridge) by their inherent individual and signature tonal and output characteristics to give a solidly balanced tone (sonically matched).

HardwareThe Revenge Warlock features a Tune-o-Matic bridge with stop bar tailpiece, for serious sustain and solid tuning. The chrome die-cast tuners seal the deal.

Inspired by Kerry King, the Beast V is an unholy alliance between B.C. Rich's famous Beast body shape and Speed V design. This Beast V is equipped with B.C. Rich B.D.S.M. humbucking pickups and a fully adjustable bridge with a string-through body design for added sustain. It has a rosewood fingerboard, Beast headstock and bolt-on construction. Beastly tones without ghastly prices.



Basswood BodyBasswood provides a warmer tone than maple and other hardwoods, along with great low-end response, and is overall a lightweight wood. It's perfect for this unconventional body shape, a marriage of the legendary Beast and the Speed V. Looks dangerous, doesn't it?

Beveled TopMost of B.C. Rich's body styles employ a beveled edge around the shape, including this one. In many ways bevels on a top are similar to facets on a cut stone.

Looks awesome, and is definitely a treat to find it in a left handed version..a rare thing.
You will have difficulty finding a case for it, as its too big for a "regular" sized case (as v shapes tend to be). AXL does offer a hard-shell case made for this model, but i have found no information whether it fits the left handed version.
