The Guitar Player's Resource
Remember when Lita Ford proved that rock guitar didn't have to choose between attitude and musicality? She needed a guitar that could deliver both crushing heaviness and melodic sophistication - this delivers exactly that combination.
When most custom guitars try to blend pop culture themes with serious musical capability, they usually fail at both. Either you get a novelty piece that looks cool but sounds mediocre, or you get serious performance wrapped in gimmicky aesthetics that don't serve the music.
This one-of-a-kind 'House Stark' Warlock proves you don't have to choose sides in that battle. B.C. Rich took their proven Metal Master platform - the kind of instrument that's been delivering crushing performance for decades - and created something that honors both the Game of Thrones mythology and the needs of working rock guitarists.
Those carved body motifs aren't just surface decoration. They're integrated into the agathis body construction in ways that add visual drama without compromising the guitar's resonant properties. The "Winter is Coming" theme works because it matches the aggressive, no-compromise attitude that B.C. Rich guitars have always represented.
Here's where the specs get practical: dual BDSM humbuckers provide the crushing output and clarity that modern rock and metal demand. Whether you're executing complex rhythm patterns or soaring single-note passages, these pickups deliver punch that cuts through dense mixes without getting muddy or harsh.
That rosewood neck and fingerboard combination feels smooth and fast under your hands, while those 24 jumbo frets give you the real estate you need for extended-range playing. The Beast headstock isn't just visual drama - it's providing the string angle and mass distribution that contributes to sustain and tuning stability.
The wrap-around bridge keeps things simple and effective. No unnecessary complexity, just solid intonation and the kind of string coupling that lets those humbuckers really sing. Those sealed diecast tuners ensure you'll stay in tune through even aggressive playing sessions.
What makes this guitar special isn't just its uniqueness - it's how that one-off status serves both collectors and players who need instruments that stand out visually while delivering serious musical performance. House Stark's motto was "Winter is Coming," which perfectly captures the uncompromising attitude this guitar brings to any stage.
