very nice NW
Rightio....I would like to introduce you to my newest addition to my guitar herd, this is my brand new Joey Jordison BC Rich Warlock II guitar:
It is leaning against my Marshall MA100C 2 X 12 100 Watt all valve guitar amp in my loungeroom, I bought it as a Christmas present for myself on lay by at the Top End Pro Music shop last year, and I paid it all off on the 3rd of January this year.
It cost me Au $720.00 all up, I am really happy with it so far, so, it's definitely a keeper.
It has a pretty nice buzz-free low action on it, which makes it pretty easy for me to play it without a bit of pain in my left hand, which I use for fretting (I'm right-handed), it only has two controls on it, a three-way pickup selector, and a single volume control, that's fine cause I very rarely touch the tone controls on my Hot Rod Strat, the two stock BC Rich pickups are humbuckers, and they sound fine and work for me, the guitar has a genuine Floyd Rose Special double-locking trem installed on it, and it seems to perform pretty well, definitely much better than the supposedly superior Ibanez Edge II ZR trem that's installed on my Ibanez RG350DXZ guitar, the body of the Warlock II is made from solid NATO Mahogany, from what I've read online, the 24 fret neck is Maple with what looks like a Rosewood fretboard, the fretboard has light-coloured dot markings along one edge, and there are no fretboard inlays apart from the Murderdolls insignia, in Red, the Murderdolls were a Horror-Punk band that formed in the early 2000's, which featured Joey Jordison (ex Slipknot drummer) on guitar.
I guess I have a thing for guitars with jagged-edges on them,eh?....lol.

Cheers bro, that Marshall amp was an expensive bit of kit to buy, I think from memory it cost me something like Au$1300.00, I bought it on lay by from Sounds Of Music in Casuarina a few years ago, but I couldn't do much gigging with it because it had a nasty habit of blowing fuses at random times, it took me at least a year of waiting for a local Tech to fix it for me so that it no longer blew fuses, turned out that the power transformer was really designed to run on 230V AC rather than our 240V AC system, that meant that the +HT being supplied to the power valves was higher than they could withstand, it's all good now and I can gig with it.
It's worth paying the money for expensive gear, since you get better sound from it, how's your new amp going?

You might have to invest in a Hercules or Selby style guitar stand Doc. Something that only holds the guitar by the neck. The design of that body will not sit properly in a normal guitar stand, and from what you've said before, I doubt your Landlords would be happy about you putting holes in your walls to install a wall hanger!!
