The Warlock features an aggressive body style, dual B.C. Rich humbucker pickups,
and a 24-fret neck. The body is built from agathis wood, the neck is maple with a
rosewood fingerboard, and all hardware is chrome, including the one-piece adjustable
bridge.
A number of B.C. Rich guitars use a classic Bolt-on construction. On these
instruments a neck (typically maple) is bolted on with 4 screws to the body. This
construction offers some added flexibility in the instruments adjustment and provides
the option to change the neck in the future.
B.C. Rich designed their BDSM humbucking pickups to provide a solid sound and to
be durable while delivering high output. BDSM stands for Broad Dynamic Sonically
Matched. Which simply means that the pickup is designed to reproduce a wide range
of frequencies accurately (broad dynamic). Then they are tested and matched in
pairs (Neck and Bridge) by their inherent individual and signature tonal and output
characteristics to give a solidly balanced tone (sonically matched).
Most of B.C. Rich body styles employ a beveled edge around the shape. In many
ways bevels on a top are similar to facets on a cut stone. They catch the light and
reflect at different angles giving the instrument more of a three dimensional look.
Some of the B.C. Rich top bevels are extreme and wide while others are subtle and
narrow. Occasionally the shape of the instrument is accented by painting the bevels a
contrasting color.

OK, what is a guy like me doing with a guitar like this? Good question! Let's just say I
got it as a birthday present. I am glad I did too because had I not I may never have
come to appreciate the design, quality, and craftsmanship that goes into these
instruments.
When I got this beauty it had some issues we had to work through. That was that the
electronics did not work well at all and the action was set up to be 'too fast' for my
taste. The feel and the playability of the guitar is amazing! When I brought the string
action to where I liked it and repaired the electronics it was by far one of the most
enjoyable guitars I have ever played. I took the liberty to tune the guitar down to C
one night to see how it sounded in the environment it was created for. I could not
believe how knee-kicking rude she could be- literally!
When I got the guitar I discovered a break in a wire on the output jack and repaired it.
There was also a break in the coil wire in the bridge pickup so I took it out and put a
Fender humbucker I had laying around in there. One I got the repairs done and
settled for the 9 gauge Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings I began playing and was
stunned! I fully expected this guitar to be somewhat cheesy. Coming from a
conservative background where the flashiest thing you every done to or with a guitar
was paint it a non standard color, I thought this guitar would play more like a
beginners guitar- I was so wrong.
