Summon Supernatural Speeds with the Warlock Extreme 7
Since its 1981 debut, B.C. Rich’s Warlock has become one of the industry’s most recognizable silhouettes, becoming a staple among metal guitarists and bassists ever since. Now, the Warlock Extreme 7 takes this bewitching creation to extremes built for fast fretting and extreme tones. Comprising a nyatoh body, maple neck, and ebony fingerboard, the 24-fret ferocity is matched by attention to playability and expressiveness. A neck joint that’s practically heelless fuels unfettered climbs to the top. A Floyd Rose tremolo system and locking nut let you bend and squeeze notes with huge harmonic character. It’s even been outfitted with a set of premium Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers to ensure every lick, riff, and solo lights up with active definition and stringent note separation that lets chops shine. Sweetwater’s metal magnates are beyond impressed with this brutally optimized Warlock Extreme 7 — soon, you will be too!
Molded for metal, capable of anything
Luthiers at B.C. Rich spared no effort in ensuring this 7-string Warlock Extreme has the appointments to earn extreme status. It all starts with the tonewoods. A nyatoh body anchors the Warlock Extreme 7 with mahogany-like sustain, fluid attack, and transparent qualities that pair nicely with the onboard pickups. For stability and speed, a multi-piece maple neck adds extreme support, while maple’s characteristic brightness brings a livelier attack into focus. Up top, an ebony fingerboard brims with clarity, eliciting tremendous note separation while serving up heaps of sustain.
Classic construction meets Shredzilla speed
Collectors around the world continue to seek out ‘80s-era B.C. Rich necks, thanks to their indelible design, and this Warlock Extreme captures that vaunted magic for the modern musician. The Warlock Extreme 7’s meticulously sculpted heel and cutaways join for Shredzilla-style freedom and high-speed access to all 24 frets. What’s more, the neck provides more than just speed. Its neck-through construction churns out titanic sustain with a bewitching presence that you don’t want to miss.
High-octane active pickups
When you flip on the Warlock 7 Extreme’s dual pairing of Fishman Fluence humbuckers, a firebreathing assault of powerful, active modern tones roars to life. The bridge pickup’s ceramic magnets instantly smash your amp’s front end into overdrive, while neck pickup Alnico V magnets offer a clear, cool alternative for delicate leads and supporting rhythms. Fluence Moderns pack additional useful push-pull sounds, too! Activating push-pull turns either pickup (or both) into a warm passive humbucker with a more traditional response that bypasses the Fishman preamp.
