B.C. Rich is the brand of Eddie’s Guitar. The model he owns is a “warlock”. The very one who made the brand popular in the heavy metal scene. In DnD, Warlock just so happens to be a character class. Besides spell-casting, a warlock usually has charisma maxed out… which is also the case for Eddie’s preferred class during campaigns: Bard. That symbolism foreshadowed Eddie’s arc and evolution as a person in such an awesome way and let me tell you why. A Bard tends to impress, challenge and inflict damage by speech (much like Eddie IRL), but will often run away from the fight when it becomes too much. A warlock, on the other hand, as a small set of spells (unlike wizards who have plenty; aka “The Dark Wizard” Vecna so called by Dustin), but very powerful.
Eddie going symbolically from Bard (running away when confronted to difficult events) to Warlock in the end, means he outgrows his previous class and self. Despite not being able to do much, his guitar solo, his spell, will be powerful enough to help his friends and avenge Chrissy’s death.
Also, the Warlock class didn’t exist until the years 2000’ in DnD, meaning that Eddie —canonically— would be the first warlock ever, without even knowing. If this isn’t metal, I don’t know what is.
