B.C. Rich Kerry King 2012 Tribal Warlock Black w/White Flame Graphic

Description: In this case, “52” corresponds to 2012. This is because B.C. Rich uses a system where the first digit “5” indicates the 2010s, (“6” would represent the 2020s, “4” would represent the 2000s, etc.) and the second digit “2” specifies the exact year within that decade, which is 2012 for this guitar. The weight of this guitar made in Korea by World Musical Instruments Korea is 8.6lbs.A bit of history: The Warlock was designed by company founder Bernardo Chavez Rico in1969, stating: "This was the only guitar I ever designed at a drafting table, using straight-edges and French curves. It was lots of curves going into straight lines. At first I thought it was the ugliest guitar I'd ever designed." The design wasn't built, though, until 1981 when local guitarist Spencer Sercombe of Shark Island talked him into it. Once he did, though, it really took off like a rocket. The guitarists in the emerging heavy metal scene loved the design. The Warlock and B.C. Rich became icons.Now, their craft is their legacy as BC Rich is one of the finest guitar companies in the world with several extremely popular designs.The Warlock guitar has both a refined sound and an aggressive sound. It can play heavy, tight, clean or with all the distortion in the world. I find it very interesting to learn that Rico used the1958 Les Paul as inspiration for this guitar’s electronics to ensure the guitars had a robust sound but was still noise-free.Guitar is scuffed up from just generally wear and being used and gigged some as well as shop movement with superficial scratches, finish irregularities and dings from packing, unpacking, displaying, etc. but overall, very minor and in fantastic shape for being a well-used guitar at 12 years of age! The neck is almost mint.Will ship fully insured with tracking.
