The B.C. Rich Kerry King Signature 7 Warlock Guitar is approved by the man himself, with it's Neck-through construction for best possible sustain, resonance and comfort whilst accessing higher frets. The Kerry King signature 7 Warlock 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 B.C. Rich 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 the top of the line B.C. Rich models. Most 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 colour.
Kerry 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.
