I'm a metalhead and one of the more ubiquitous tools of the heavy metal frontman was the B.C. Rich Warlock. Kerry King from Slayer, Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars from Motley Crue, Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P. and Lita Ford (added only for T&A purposes, not a big fan of her music) were playing them.
The Warlock was and pretty much still is my favorite guitar shape. I always wanted one, but never really took the time to try to learn guitar. Maybe it's a midlife crisis, maybe it's a brain tumor, maybe it's just me being my terminally impulsive self, but last week I decided I was going to buy one.
I picked the most basic model that experienced guitarists would find at the least unable to meet their needs, at worst a personal affront to their sensibilities. For a newb like me, it's perfect. It's the style and color I want. It's of decent enough quality that if it sounds bad it ain't the guitar, it's me. Amazon, deliver unto me my guitar!
A guitar needs a good case to protect it. What, shaped like a coffin you say? Add to cart!
I picked a nice little Marshall amp for the make the noisy part. Plenty powerful enough to piss my neighbors off.
I already had the distortion pedal and it sounds awesome!

Those f*** at the post office must have chucked the boxes across the sorting room.
The amp looks unscathed, but unfortunately my brand new guitar has a huge chip taken out of it.
Strangely, after holding it, it was love and first sight and I couldn't bring myself to return it. I'll keep it chip and all and Amazon gave me a sorry bout that coupon for the asking. It doesn't have the widow head stock that I like, but the inline setup is attractive and practical, no worries.
Ah yes, "crafted in China." I detest the Chinese, but I must admit, for two bills they build a pretty nice axe.
Bolt on neck. that might bother a good guitarist. I'm not one of those; works for me.
Alright, I'll quit teasing you. Yes, I am dragging it out on purpose to be a d!ck.
I really dig the through the body strings. I've never seen that before, but much like bewbies, once I saw them I liked em!
The case is diamond tuck lined in blood red velvet with enough storage for cables and stuff.
Sleepy time. No time to mess with you tonight. I got homework to do.
