B.C. Rich USA Warlock - Class Axe 1991-93

B.C. Rich USA Warlock – Class Axe Era 1991–93 – Kahler Floyd – Sperzel

Rare USA-made B.C. Rich Warlock from the Class Axe era, circa 1991–93.

This is one of the genuine American-made B.C. Rich guitars produced during the short Class Axe period—not an NJ, Platinum, Rave or other import-series Warlock. It features the correct “Made In The USA” headstock marking and high-end American hardware associated with these USA instruments.

The guitar has an extremely cool splatter/crackle-style finish over black with purple, silver and blue accents. It's a killer-looking early-'90s Warlock and definitely not something you see every day.

Condition

Very good vintage condition overall for a roughly 35-year-old Warlock.

The guitar is damn near perfect, with only minor paint chips on the botton points. No visable fretwear or playwear. Please review all photos closely, particularly the points and edges, as these are naturally the areas most prone to wear on a Warlock.

📦 Packing & Shipping

I pack guitars the way I'd want them packed myself. See picture for details:

• Strings loosened and tremolo supported for safe transit
• Headstock receives extra protection
• Accessories are wrapped separately to prevent contact with the guitar
• Box is clearly marked with directional arrows to help prevent upside-down handling
• Shipped via UPS or FedEx Ground using Reverb Safe Shipping with insurance and signature required

⚠️ A Few Disclaimers

• Photos are part of the item description—please review them carefully
• Vintage guitars can show normal age-related wear and minor imperfections
• Older guitars can sometimes develop small neck-pocket finish cracks
• Most of my inventory is imported from Japan. I perform a basic setup and functional test, but I don't play each guitar extensively
• Minor vintage-guitar issues such as a scratch I missed, slightly noisy pot, worn screw or a wire loosened during shipping are always possible
