thanks cxmachine, you know, a lot of people diss the warlock, and for me, its good, i know i have the bronze series but its made of basswood, not agathis.. (Agathis is some no-name bulshit), and so i think of it as being one of the better shitty ones. yeah the pickups are shit... is it hard to change the pickups? or should i pay a fortune for the shop to do it?
