New Warlock? Or the Old n Faithful

[JJWO]

Hey Everybody,

        I've been playing with an ESP LTD F-50 Black Cherry for more years that I can count, and it's certainly given me a phone voice recorder full of nice riffs - a lot that I haven't used yet but intend to use for building my next Demo. This demo is going to be concentrated on dealing with recovery from mental illness, and so I need a lot of good emoting riffs and basically more diverse expressive riffage, than the last (which was mainly focused on the heavy.) 

       I've been looking, quite keenly, at the B.C. Rich Warlock (a guitar that I used back in High School, that I got from Ebay, and that I got some good riffs from as well.) Only thing, is that any new or old edition of the Warlock is looking like, on the site, at around $1,000 - and I am sure that I want to get it fresh from B.C. Rich itself - thus, I have to be 100% dedicated to this change/edition to my guitar arsenal, and prepared for all of the riffage it brings (...phone is filled with riffs, so far, unused...)

      Question is, should I get that new guitar without hesitating upon all the new material it shall bring? Or, should I stay with the old n faithful, and put all of those stored away riffs into song before I commit to a new venture?

For a similar price you could get any number of different Epiphone or Ibanez guitars, all of which offer superior quality to BC Rich. If it’s the interesting body shape you want as well Dean have a selection around the same price range.

 

Bear in mind also that you can change the tone and feel of your riffs by toggling between pick ups on the guitar you already have, or changing the tone knobs, on either your guitar or amp, or by changing the tuning you’re playing in. Point being you don’t need to run out and buy a new guitar to write new riffs, and a new six-string won’t offer much besides different pickups at that price.

Interesting, what style of metal do you play?
