Go to War with B.C. Rich's Iconic Metal Machine
The Warlock was the model that propelled B.C. Rich to the forefront of the nascent metal scene in 1981, finding favor thereafter with adventurous six-stringers like Mick Mars, Lita Ford, Paul Stanley, Kerry King, and a pre-GNR Slash. The Warlock Extreme is the company's latest iteration of this iconic design, boasting a distinctly jagged — yet superbly balanced — nyatoh body, a 5-piece Shredzilla neck, and a fleet-fingered 24-fret ebony fingerboard. You'll also appreciate this solidbody electric guitar's no-heel, neck-through design, devised expressly for physics-defying fretboard pyrotechnics. The Warlock Extreme is overflowing with high-octane tones, courtesy of Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers, with a 3-way pickup selector toggle and a kill switch added for maximum sonic flexibility. And when the moment's right for squealing and diving, the Warlock Extreme's near-bulletproof Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo will oblige. You also get rock-solid Grover Rotomatic 18:1-ratio tuners and rugged strap locks to safeguard against axe droppage. Spotlight-ready abalone binding, an abalone 12th-fret fingerboard inlay, and deadly black hardware round out this made-for-metal monstrosity. Serious shredders need a serious axe, and the B.C. Rich Warlock Extreme more than lives up to its hype.
Designed by shredders for shredders
The Warlock Extreme was conceived with technical players in mind. Its angular nyatoh body offers exceptional balance and long-term playing comfort. Its no-heel, neck-through design features an extra-deep cut for stress-free upper-fret access, and its satin-finished, 5-piece neck features B.C. Rich's easy-playing Shredzilla Ultra Slim Contour shape. And, in the interest of achieving terminal velocity, the Warlock Extreme comes armed and ready with a lightning-fast 14-inch-radius Indian ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets.
Multi-voice Fishman Fluence humbuckers
The B.C. Rich Warlock Extreme, courtesy of its direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, is your conduit to two of the guitar world's most sought-after humbucker tones. The Fluence's modern voice churns out the tight bass, crisp highs, and subtle growl you'd expect from an active pickup, while its high-output humbucker voice delivers a gnarly old-school tone tailor-made for distortion. Switching between these two voices is as easy as grabbing the Warlock Extreme's push-pull volume knob. This solidbody electric guitar also includes a 3-way pickup selector toggle and a kill switch for added versatility. Guitarists at Sweetwater are floored by the range of sounds that can be conjured from the Warlock Extreme — we're confident that you will be, too.
Built for dive-bombs and squealies
The Warlock Extreme can endure the most depraved of whammy abuse, thanks to its Floyd Rose 1000 Series locking tremolo. It can produce subtle, expressive warbles; although, that's probably not what you're aiming for. Never fear, this red-hot shredder also tackles screaming harmonic squeals and subterranean dive-bombs with equal aplomb. Even better, this trem's double-locking design delivers super-reliable tuning stability while enabling seemingly endless sustain. Simply put, if you tend to brutalize your whammy bar, the Warlock Extreme can withstand everything you dish out.
