I'm getting a BC rich Warlock, and I palm mute alot. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/search/bigpid/base_id/119160/

If you'll pay attention to where the bridge is, how would one such as my self go about palm muting while still getting some tone?

RAWK!! \m/

  You should be able to adjust to it fairly easily, I don't think the trem on the model you are buying is a floater so it should be easy to palm mute, the ad also says it's a non-locking trem so good luck staying in tune if you ever use it, mine has the Floyd Rose floating trem and I loved it, never a problem going out of tune.
  The Warlock is a great body style but personally I would save up and go with an NJ series...as a matter of fact, I did. Hopefully the Bronze series will not cause you too many problems if that's what you go with, I know it is not easy to save up for high dollar instruments.

I might be able to save up when I'm 16 (Currently 14) and can get a job., I get aboust a 100 dollers on christmas and 50 on my birthday and that's it.


Why would the Trem make it go out of tune? how fast will it go out of tune? Can I take the trem off?

The trem will make it go out of tune because it works by losening the strings and then tightening them back up, and it goes out as soon as you use it on some guitars, on others you have to use it a few times before you notice a difference. My freind had a bronze warlock, and I never had trouble palm muting with it.

I really like the way those sound, but I hate the way they look. But if you like it thats all that matters. They are very comfortable to play also.

(edit)

yes you can take the "wammy bar" off, it should screw right out.

  You won't want to take the trem out, it serves as your bridge, it would take some serious modification to put a solid bridge in it's place, maybe you won't have much trouble with it, just try not to use it all crazy.

  I guess if you have a $150 to spend on a guitar, you made the choice I would have made, Warlocks rule! ...

Yes they do rule above all else IMO. Doo you know of any pickups that have a metal worthy sound? and do you know of a tutorial on how to put them in?

Seymour Duncans are excellent pickups, as are EMG's.

heres what I meant. hope it helps.

...

some people call that laver attached to the bridge/tremlo the "wammy bar", I think it sounds dumb myself, but that what it is called. anyway, it should unscrew.

It will behoove you to take it out when storing it, and even most of the time when you're not using it..Wink

This makes it less likely to get broken..Wink

going back to the pick ups question, i have the zakk wylde emg set in my explorer and they are amazin for metal. i can also recomend bare knuckle pick ups too, especially the war pig. they are passive but full of power and tone. pricey though, about £100 each...ouch!  Smiley

the trem block is anchored with springs on the underside of the body. you can adjust these to change the way the trem 'sits', ie level with body etc.  the temelo bar just screws in to the block, you can screw it in tight so there is no play, or leave it a little loose so you you can move it about a bit.  you wont have any probs with palm muting, you will naturally figure out the best position for your hand to be.  but i will say i had an esp once with a floyd rose lockin trem, and i hated it! took decades to change strings and tune, and was very uncomfortable to palm mute.  but then again, kirk hammet seems to manage just fine..... ???

The whole Floyd Rose thing is a big debate among guitarists.  Some love them, some hate them with a passion.  My girlfriend has a Squier strat with a Floyd Rose and she doesn't like it very much.  Its just a big hassle to change strings, and until recently it would go crazy out of tune if you used the whammy bar.  We fixed it by adding 2 more tension springs to the back of the tremelo, it stays in tune much better now.  The guitarist for my band has one strat with a Floyd Rose and he hardly ever uses it because of that.

  I always loved my Floyd Rose, never had a problem with it. Changing the strings was a little more of a challenge than other setups but I would just change one at a time instead of pulling all 6 at once.

I guess I just dont like the idea of putting your strings on backwards Smiley  It is handy, however, if you break a string at the bridge because all you have to do is unwind it from the tuning peg a bit and reattach it good as new.

i tried a bc rich warlock the other day, it had the new version of the floyd rose on it, where you buy the strings already cut to length, all you do is wack em on and fine tune it. it seemed a hell of a lot quicker, and easier too.  Smiley
