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.

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

What Kind of strings do I need to get and where can I find them for this Guitar:

http://www.music123.com/BC-Rich-NJ-Warlock-w--Floyd-Rose-i158752.music

Does this guitar require special string or will normal strings work?

Any electric guitar strings will work, it's a matter of preference which ones work best for you, or then again the guitar may decide for you like mine did.
If the trem is the same as mine, you will have to clip the ball off the strings because you actually screw them in at the trem instead of threading them through like most guitars.

The Warlock in your link is the same as mine except mine is at least 10 years old and is solid black with the old style angled headstock, the new ones are awesome, I love the new headstocks.

You would only need those special strings if the guitar comes with the Floyd Rose speedloader, I don't really know much about this type of setup, except there are apparently no tuning pegs. The guitar in your link doesn't look like it comes with the speedloader system.
I just read the description again and it says it comes with the traditional Floyd Rose, so you would just use standard strings and nip the ends off or I think there are strings out there that have no ball on either end.

I was looking at the B.C. Rich Beasts the other day at Guitar Center, I was drooling!

Thanks! The strings that come without the ball-ends no doubt cost more.

well, if it's trem wuiped you can stretch the strings, they will stay in perfect tune. Paz told me that, and worked better than I could've imagined.
