Up for sale, a 1989 B.C. Rich Warlock in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a padded gigbag. From the sought after NJ Series (short for Nagoya, Japan), this bolt-on neck iteration of the Warlock platform features an alder body, maple neck, slab rosewood fretboard, Floyd Rose-licensed tremolo, and stock pair of high-output humbuckers.
Engineered for high gain, the pickups are modeled after the Dimarzio Super Distortion with a ceramic magnet design engineered to provide a range of roaring tonalities with ample output and midrange push. The bridge is biting and aggressive, metering at 11.8k ohms, and the neck has a pronounced fullness and percussive cut, metering at 11.4k ohms. This Warlock weighs 8lbs 10oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, slinky action, and spot-on intonation.
The rock maple neck has a very slender D-shaped profile carve with full shoulders in every register, measuring .790” deep at the 1st fret and .845” at the 12th. The slab rosewood fretboard has a 12” radius, and the stock medium jumbo fretwire exhibits virtually no wear, with plenty of meat and well-rounded crowns. This guitar plays cleanly up the 24 3/4“ scale with a straight neck and a responsive, optimally-adjusted truss rod, and the locking nut measures 1 11/16” in width. On the headstock, the “R”-stamped tuning machines turn smoothly.
All of the electronics function as intended; the pickups are wired to the stock harness with untouched solder joints and full-size Japanese pots that date to January, 1989, and the pickups are governed by a three-way selector switch, Master Tone, and independent Volume controls. The hardware is all notably clean, including the black dome-topped knurled knobs and the chrome-plated Floyd Rose-licensed tremolo.
Cosmetic wear on the gloss Black finish includes light buckle wear on the back, and a number of minor dings and faint finish scratches on the body as a whole, largely concentrated along the body perimeter and lower bout on top. The neck profile retains its smooth satin finish.
A modern B.C. Rich padded gigbag is included.
