IT Warlock

I was surfing the net to perhaps discover innovative guitar design integration (we can't actually reinvent the guitar, can we?), BC Rich's IT Warlock is quite a piece of work.

The hidden genius is seen at the rear of the instrument where that virtually seamless neck-body joint is simply a jigsaw type attachment. The manufacturer calls it the IT (Invisabolt Technology) & it's an idea that works. Besides the sheer novelty, tone-wise, running the neck down the body this way- directly under the pickups- emulates a through-neck resonance. However the benefit is subjective, you either hear it or not. Nevertheless, having an all access heel at this part of the instrument is very inviting...
