I was wondering how well the Tuning held out on them? One of the Reveiws here : http://www.music123.com/BC-Rich-NJ-Warlock-WHS-2003-i112900.music Leads me to believe that it doesn't hold tune very well. Since I may be getting a job soon, High goller instruments may be in the question

i dont know about warlocks in particular, but if it aint holding tune its probbly worth gettin it looked at by repair guy. also you could upgrade the tuning pegs to improve things. ive got grovers on all my guitars and they are ace...even with all the abuse i give them... Wink

I own a Bronze serious Warlock and it holds tune very well. I don't know about a NJ serious, but my Warlock holds tune better than all my other guitars.

i dont think grovers cost too much, over here in the uk i think they are about £30, should be able to fit them yourself too

I never had a problem with keeping my NJ series Warlock in tune, and I could be pretty rough on it at times.

I just read the reviews in the link you provided, it sounds like people don't know how to stretch the strings properly before using the trem, I would always string mine up, tune, then go crazy bending the trem back and forth, after a few times of this and retuning, it would stay in tune great, and I very rarely broke a string, I always had the best luck with Ernie Ball Blue Steel strings, for me they stayed tuned and were more reliable than any other string on the market, and I tried most all of them at one point or another.

I actully like the GHS TNTs more, but They are too thick for my Bridge. So I officialy use Earnie Ball's super slinky orange strings....

The blue steels I mentioned are Dean Markleys's, sorry for the mistake, it's been a while. I was going through some of my stuff and came across about 7 unopened packs of Blue Steel strings and a couple of unopened packs of Dean Markley 6 and 12 string acoustic strings.

If you are breaking a lot of strings maybe you should give the Blue Steels a try if you can find them, I had the same problems with all other strings, once I started using Blue Steels I almost never broke a string and I always used very light gauge strings, like 8's or 9's.

As much as I appreciate the offers to take my spare strings off my hands, I think I will just keep them for now. Wink
