Just think of this Kevin. Kirk Hammett bought “Greenie” for around 300k. This guitar was owned by Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac and Gary Moore. Gary had the guitar in his trunk and was rear ended. Breaking off the headstock. He had someone repair it way back. Kirk had it leaning on his couch in his house and it slipped and fell breaking the headstock. Kirk said he cried. He called his Luthier up to get it repaired and the Luthier told him “Dude this is a blessing. They make amazing glues now for this and it’ll be repaired better than before.”. And Kirk still played it!
Shes a beauty. As soon as you opened the case I was like "damn, didnt even stick any cushioning in the case." At least it was a clean break. It will be an easy fix/paint blending. 🤘
I love the widow headstocks on those BC Rich's but they are so easy to damage because of the shape. My first guitar in the early 00s from was a cheap Warlock with the window headstock from Musicians Friend, and the headstock was damaged during shipping.
Congratulations man! That's a kickass guitar! Pickup-wise the 81/85's are a solid choice, but if you want to venture to a PAF-y sound you can grab the 57/66's. Enjoy the new axe!
Congratulations! I always loved the look of the B C Rich Warlock family of guitars. They looked like something Dracula played, during his Deathcore metal shows!
Nothing like new guitar day! A couple weeks ago i picked up a dream guitar. An Ibanez prestige rg5320. It wasn't specifically rg5320 i wanted, but a super nice prestige obviously from the fujigen factory... my god did exceed my expectations. The QC, playability, and all around quality is astonishing. I've had it for a couple weeks and it's still blowing me away. I still can't believe it is mine. Man that sucks about the damage. I hope you get it figured out.
Calm down brother. It is fixable; any luthier worth their salt can fix this. Glue, clamps, glue boost. Sand and clear coat and buff. You got your baby back, that is what is important. Congrats on a girlfriend.
Nice seeing someone else that still flies the B.C. Rich banner! I just refinished an old Bich I found in a shop that was beat to hell. That headstock shouldn't be too big of a deal to fix.
Congrats on the new ax!...There is NOTHING more exciting than new guitar day!...Sorry to see the booboo, I bought a Jake E Lee Charvel last year that was poorly packed and got some headstock rash on it...Seller took care of me on that so I kept it and love it...Sucks but hey guitars get scratches and dents and bumps its just part of life...Enjoy it and play the hell out of it!...Sounds great!
Hi Kevin. I think it would be really cool if you did a guitar cover of Skull Fracturing Nightmare by Demolition Hammer. It's a great tune and it's right up your alley.
@@samael1981 I agree. Those first 2 albums were full 8f ripping guitars, blazing drums and savage vocals. The band didn't want the 1994 album Time Bomb to be called a Demolition Hammer album, that was the record labels doing. It was meant to be a side project.
Aww dude you shoulda used wood glue!!! But yeah that thing sounds so sick. The other guitarist in my first band had one of these and it absolutely sounded evil! Any time I see one it reminds me of those days
That was absolutely the best case scenario, that headstock could have gotten absolutely thrashed in shipping. Plus it’s black so the repair from my side (as a guitar tech) is also best case scenario.
From the video, I find it hard to believe that the chip on headstock was already cracked and the motion during shipping caught the fabric in the case and pulled it the rest the way off. I think you did the right thing glueing the piece back on , use some black fingernail polish to hide the cracks. Nice BC 7 string
7 strings are so cool man, i have alot of guitars but only 1 7 string. Wish i had a 7 string bcrich jrv w beast headstock, neck through with a floyd rose.
Last month I had the thought to sell a couple guitars and have a money cushion and handle some pressing bills but then then before the money arrived, a lefty Ironbird was sitting on Reverb and I bought it before the money came through 🤦 it's amazing and have hoped for a lefty Ironbird since around '07, so now I'm back low on money again but reinforced some bookcases I found and installed string swings so I can hang the guitars again
What model is this? 25 frets? And what are those holes for? So many questions, lol. I love that it's a set-neck (or neck-thru). I used to have an NJ Series Warlock with the dark blue wood grain top and back. That one was a bolt-on, though.
I had the same exact 7 string in white. It was cool af, kinda wish i kept it. sad to see yours came in damaged :/ does yours have the bullet circuit installed too? idk if that was aftermarket or not.
first guitar I owned was a Warlock NJ series all black. floyd rose. it ripped. for over 10 years. solid. I learned on it. your 7 string is sick bro. I would shred that guitar no doubt. a metal machine dude. the head stocks chip and break simply because of the design and drying out over time make them very brittle on the points. no big deal kick some ass brother
Never seen a warlock with the holes in it like that. My buddy had a warlock with the damn coffin case when we were teenagers. Stupid case doesn't fit will in cars! Hated that fuckig case.
Haven't watched the whole video yet but I got a Custom WarBeast not long ago that had a chip off the Headstock allot like yours. Lucky I had the piece of wood that came off of it and was able to take it to a Luther here in town and he did a pretty great job of putting it back on and making it look like it was supposed to. Hopefully you can do the same thing. It's uncanny how often those headstocks get banged up. Killer looking Guitar. Sorry you got to deal with that. Edit: Wow! Can't believe that guy didn't do something to keep the Guitar from sliding around in the case like that!looks like you did a pretty good job of mending it yourself though. Congrats on the new Guitar! 👊😎
Yo Kevin don’t listen to these people, your tone is sick. It reminds me of Pestilence, Gorguts, a lot of old death metal bands. It’s really fucking sick. Love the 7 string Warlock too that’s shits badass
Right man idk wtf these dumb asses talking about this sounds like tuned down lamb of god to me like the melodic chugs into fast tremelo runs shits fire fuck the haters
Even when I sent my Rhodes v back on warranty from guitar center I wrapped it in a crap load of bubble wrap, then had packing material in the box as well
Was the whammy bar just floating freely in the case? Almost looked like it was pinned under the body when you first opened the case. The seller failed miserably at packing that guitar! Especially for an international shipment. Lucky it showed up with as little damage as it did goddamn! Congrats on the new guitar though! That thing is gnarly!
That really sucks, I don't get how someone could ship a guitar from that distance and use such little bubble wrap. Glad you got some money knocked off but still a shame. One wicked guitar, sounds mean!!! I see the Friday the 13th box set by the tv, Vorhees is the king!!!!!
That thing sounds monstrous. Congrats on getting your hands on this bad boy again. Sucks about that chunk missing from the headstock. Polyurethane is a son of a bitch to work with too because of how brittle it is. Learned that the hard way with one of my own guitars
I just love how Kevin is just a real dude, shit is humbling.
Man that pick attack at 14:40 is just crystal clear, every single pick stroke is clearly heard and with no muddiness
God bless you. May the metal and lightning shine through you always. A-Men
This must be one of the OG 7 string metal machines .
Looks bad ass !! And sounds thundering !!
It makes me so happy to see a dude so jazzed about a reacquired guitar! And your girlfriend sounds wonderful, very nice and supportive
I genuinely saw Young Kevins saw fly out of him to look at that guitar as soon as he opened the case, Coolest video!

Lucky it wasn't damaged any worse!
There is a certain unique pain that comes with buying a guitar twice, I would imagine made worse by subsequent damage, Thanks for sharing
Shes a beauty. As soon as you opened the case I was like "damn, didnt even stick any cushioning in the case." At least it was a clean break. It will be an easy fix/paint blending. 🤘
I love how his guitar tone has improved over the years

i loved it too, until a friend noticeed it looks like a ballsag
Wow! You well played on this guitar Kevin!
Congratulations man! That's a kickass guitar! Pickup-wise the 81/85's are a solid choice, but if you want to venture to a PAF-y sound you can grab the 57/66's. Enjoy the new axe!
you got a camerawoman now, congrats 😎
Congratulations! I always loved the look of the B C Rich Warlock family of guitars. They looked like something Dracula played, during his Deathcore metal shows!
I had been wanting a Warwick Thumb for over 20 years and just recently acquired 1 and it is my JAMMMMMMM
Its so good to see you in great health and energy after everything you've dealt with/
Always awesome to see you giddy over a new axe!
Brutal guitar - love it!

Man that sucks about the damage. I hope you get it figured out.
That was pretty lucky to get that little damage. I also noticed the trem bar was loose on the case and that can lead to some major dings and damage.
Sounds massive brother. Sorry about that minor damage but you still killed it!
damn, dude! your down picking has gotten so much faster!! congrats on finding the old guitar! bummer it had the broken head stock.
Calm down brother. It is fixable; any luthier worth their salt can fix this. Glue, clamps, glue boost. Sand and clear coat and buff. You got your baby back, that is what is important. Congrats on a girlfriend.
Guitar has a battle scar. Np. That thing is a beautiful beast of a machine. Congrats!
im glad you finally got what uve been searching for all these years, give it a riffing from me
Love your videos Kevin living the life I. Shape, great guitarist, glplays great music, outdoorsy. Cheers bud
This might be the best sounding 7 string I’ve heard.
It just sounds huge.
Она шикарна!
Hell yea! These had the tone holes drilled into the top. Those are special!
🆙💬🎉
You're an inspiration Kevin. That guitar is SICK, and sounds monstrous! 🤘
Love the whole collection btw, keep shredding
The sound that comes off that guitar is so f--king heavy
Great guitar! If the break is clean wood glue is your friend. Simple fix and hopefully it won't be visible at all
Looks and sounds mean. Nice one!
When this guy joins to a mosh pit everyone leaves the mosh
Thats a monster guitar for sure 😍😍.
Ps: I love the sound god damn that's awesome beast
🆙💬🎉
Kevin looks like he would cook some absolutely sick Barbecues
It's a clean break, annoying yeah but an easy fix dude🤘🤘 keep up the awesome content dude hails from Scotland!!!
Nice seeing someone else that still flies the B.C. Rich banner! I just refinished an old Bich I found in a shop that was beat to hell. That headstock shouldn't be too big of a deal to fix.
Sick axe man.. I have a 7 string with 707 love them .. good seller sorted something out with you too
That a sic guitar, but me that Friday the 13th, that a great collection. Hard find that slim case collection. your both lucky have each other.
Congrats on the new ax!...There is NOTHING more exciting than new guitar day!...Sorry to see the booboo, I bought a Jake E Lee Charvel last year that was poorly packed and got some headstock rash on it...Seller took care of me on that so I kept it and love it...Sucks but hey guitars get scratches and dents and bumps its just part of life...Enjoy it and play the hell out of it!...Sounds great!
Hi Kevin. I think it would be really cool if you did a guitar cover of Skull Fracturing Nightmare by Demolition Hammer. It's a great tune and it's right up your alley.
That's my favorite track from Epidemic of Violence, along with Human Dissection 🤘
@rodneybarr5735 mine too. Such a horribly underrated band.

F-N sick guitar I had one as well , wish I still Did 👍😎
Is amazing this guitar.
7 strings are so cool man, i have alot of guitars but only 1 7 string. Wish i had a 7 string bcrich jrv w beast headstock, neck through with a floyd rose.
A Friday the 13th box set. A man of taste 😎
Ive got 81s in my Warlock and it sounds brutal
That axe has some nuts for sure.
New intro is killer, bro! That riffage was nasty!
oh hey its the mary had a little lamb guy
Sounded powerful! Those pickups are fine!🤘🏻
Hey Kevin glad it wasn't worse than it could have been.... i had a Gibson Les Paul arrive with a snapped off headstock during shipping. 😢😢...
Well... to be fair, that's what I expect from a gibson :D Pretty common problem, but off course, it fucking sucks. Hope you got it covered
@ringodanger5435 yes sir...sent it right back and got a new one ..
Waw, very nice and rare axe, congrats mate !
Who is sending this man trash and trying to bring about the apocalypse setting him off?
Have had my eye on BC Rich Mockingbirds.
I know the feeling well, Kevin. The rush and then the disappointment. Still a sick guitar all in all, brother!!
Last month I had the thought to sell a couple guitars and have a money cushion and handle some pressing bills but then then before the money arrived, a lefty Ironbird was sitting on Reverb and I bought it before the money came through 🤦 it's amazing and have hoped for a lefty Ironbird since around '07, so now I'm back low on money again but reinforced some bookcases I found and installed string swings so I can hang the guitars again
That riff is giving me some 2000s behemoth vibes! straight fire

I used to have an NJ Series Warlock with the dark blue wood grain top and back. That one was a bolt-on, though.

That Randell sounded sick! Is that a Fortin "built" one? I have a Diavlo from that era and it's the most underrated amps I've ever heard.
Exactly! Its what you like that matters, I personally LOVE EMGs and people hate on them all the time. :D
EMGs are great. People only hate on them because it's the fashionable thing to do.

Блин, мечта, а не мужик! Всё идеально! 😁🔥🤘🤘🤘🔥
Kevin what is the model of that BC Rich? I gotta buy one holly crap!!!
Dude. Warlock in black? Pure magic
🆙💬🎉
That thing is so fucking cool. Shame it's got a bit of damage, but hey, that's personality when it comes to pointy guitars. It's gonna happen.
All the bummers aside, it looks fckn badass on you man, such a mean machine damn
i think a personal visit from you will set this straight with the seller
Bullying people willing to sell stuff to you..
Yeah.. great strat 🙄
@@AvyScottandFlowerit was a joke bruh
yh joke mate
@@jackallport9024 Oh ok, my bad
Yo Kevin don’t listen to these people, your tone is sick. It reminds me of Pestilence, Gorguts, a lot of old death metal bands. It’s really fucking sick. Love the 7 string Warlock too that’s shits badass
Right man idk wtf these dumb asses talking about this sounds like tuned down lamb of god to me like the melodic chugs into fast tremelo runs shits fire fuck the haters
My favorite natty vegan guitar player
The damage gives it some character
you don't pay all that money for character , but i love the optimism lol
Unreal rich piana vibes in this video, right babe?

Hey Kevin, Kevin here you Rock & so do I. Metal Recording artist. Let’s Rock!
He looks even more brutal with that beard.
Even when I sent my Rhodes v back on warranty from guitar center I wrapped it in a crap load of bubble wrap, then had packing material in the box as well
Sounds fucking amazing brotha!! Too bad about the headstock, but thats not a big deal to repair if you take it to an experienced tech.
That should be pretty easy to fix and glue back on. You probably won’t even notice it was chipped. Good luck man
Awesome guitar
🆙💬🎉
holy shit..never knew you kayak fished..tight lines brotherman!
Lmao shits awesome. Dude does everything I like but he does it better
That thing is fuckin sick 🔥 haven't seen you play like that in a min , happy riffing my metal brother🤘
Guitar was definitely poorly packed. I always use extra thick bubble wrap and make sure the guitar doesn't shift inside the case.
Was the whammy bar just floating freely in the case? Almost looked like it was pinned under the body when you first opened the case. The seller failed miserably at packing that guitar! Especially for an international shipment. Lucky it showed up with as little damage as it did goddamn! Congrats on the new guitar though! That thing is gnarly!
Best man on the internet
LoL
It amazes me how people don't pack things like guitars and amps more securely and carefully
Sounds massive!
Girl here 👋love your videos!
🆙💬💬💬🎉
Sucks man.... but it adds character!:) imo! Congratz on the new axe brother!!
What are those holes drilled in it? Is that factory?
That, is one, SICK, fucking axe man, you were born to play the shit of that one mate xD
My Virgo has a broken horn on the headstock as well man. Mine occurred from a strap malfunction.
That solid neck is sick dude
That really sucks, I don't get how someone could ship a guitar from that distance and use such little bubble wrap. Glad you got some money knocked off but still a shame. One wicked guitar, sounds mean!!! I see the Friday the 13th box set by the tv, Vorhees is the king!!!!!
