The Warbeast is notorious for having buzz problems, and the major cause is usually the bridge. What you can do is:

Standard B.C. Rich String-through bridge - There are two posts, one on either side, that are slotted for a flat-head screwdriver. It is NOT recommended that you try to adjust this with strings on the guitar! Turn the posts counter-clockwise to raise the bridge height. Be sure to turn them the same amount, to keep the string height in relation to each other the same.

Floyd Rose Licensed Tremolo - You will have to adjust the springs behind the tremolo to bring the bridge up slightly above level. You have to have the strings on the guitar to do this To do this, remove the spring cover on the back of the guitar. A phillips-head screwdriver is needed. There should be two screws, one at each end of the spring keeper. Turn them counter clockwise by 1/4 turn each time, following these steps:
1. Turn a single 1/4 turn
2. Tune the guitar.
3. Check for buzz.
If the buzz is still present, repeat steps 1 - 3.


I could not find any other bridge that came with this guitar, so one of these two options should help.

The part that holds the strings under the bridge has broken on my B.C. Rich platinum warlock

The tailpiece, as it's called, can be purchased from various parts shops, as well as online. Check AllParts as well as Warmoth. either one should have what you need. If you don't want to pay shipping, then you may be able to find it at Guitar Center, Sam Ash Music, or Musician's Friend.
If it's a string-thru-body design, then you'll have to take it to a luthier (guitar builder and technician) to have it fixed.

Hope that helps!

New flying v, 3 strings make rattly sound near end

Are the strings hitting the frets and making a buzzing sound or is it actually coming from the bridge? Make sure the saddles on the bridge are secure. If the buzzing is caused by the fret then adjust the bridge height and/or truss rod. If the buzzing is coming from the bridge and cannot be cured it may be worth investing in an aftermarket bridge.

How do i repair my B.C. Rich guitar??

Guitar manufacturers use generally one of two different knob types: (1) knob has a small set screw of some type holding it on or (2) press fit onto the shaft of the tuneing pot (volume knob in your case).
Now, the problem is if it is NOT a set screw type, it is press fit. You see press fit used most of the time on lower-end instruments (and a few high end). The BEST way to get a stuck volume know off is to get a shoe string, loop part of it under the knob, brace the guitar firmly and PULL SLOWLY WITH FORCE. Realize that it is possible to damage the guitar if you **** on the string too hard.
I have never seen where a stuck know did not come off (or hear of someone breaking their guitar doing it).
I have also resorted to using a small screwdriver: work it way under the know and gently twist it to loosen it so it can be pulled off with a string or your hands.
Be carefull not to scratch your guitar!
Good luck,
-mike
