B.C. Rich

Description

The B.C. Rich Stranger Things "Eddie's" Inspired Limited-Edition NJ Warlock is a striking replica of the guitar featured in season four of the Netflix hit series, Stranger Things. As the award-winning sci-fi-horror-ensemble drama takes place in the 1980s, this angular, shred-approved NJ Warlock is the perfect “guest star” to represent the aggressive rock and metal riffs favored by the teens in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. But the Stranger Things NJ Warlock is far more than set dressing for a television series. Armed with two B.C. Rich BDSM Distortion humbuckers, this mean machine is designed to bust through a band mix, recording date or jam session with tones that go from belligerently beautiful to full-on raging. The Floyd Rose Special locking tremolo is perfect for launching screaming dive bombs, bewitching warbles and trance-like trills. When you need to unleash a relentless barrage of ferocious licks powerful enough to seal up an inter-dimensional gateway, the NJ Warlock’s Shredzilla Ultra Slim Contour neck provides a smooth and unencumbered runway for your swift fingers. The Stranger Things "Eddie's" Inpsired Limited-Edition NJ Warlock definitely struts an ’80s attitude, but it also possesses the ergonomics and tonal firepower to create supernatural textures for any style of hard-hitting music.

Styled to Survive the Upside Down

When you’re peering into the frightening expanse of an alternate dimension, you’re going to want an equally formidable presence at your side. The sharp, claw-like cutaways and harpoon headstock of the NJ Warlock immediately alert demons, Soviet agents, malevolent scientists and government bureaucrats that you mean business. Whether you choose the black or red crackle-paint finish, this is a guitar that commands attention.

B.C. Rich Stranger Things NJ-Warlock BDSM Humbuckers

Mighty Enough to Fight the Demogorgon

A blood-thirsty Demogorgon can’t be pummeled into submission with weak pickups. Lucky for you, the Stranger Things NJ Warlock is armed with two very potent B.C. Rich BDSM Distortion humbuckers—one in the bridge position and the other in the neck position. Crank up the guitar’s volume, and these pickups deliver a hefty signal that can drive the front end of an amp into fearsome distortion. If the threat isn’t imminent, you can back down the volume for a chunky overdrive sound and soften your attack to produce some stout, clean tones. Whichever tone you go into battle with, you can trust the BDSM’s mid-range articulation will highlight every note you play, while chords will ring out with definition and impact. Taut bass frequencies provide oomph and balance, but the low end is not so commanding as to muddy up your sonic onslaught.

B.C. Rich Stranger Things NJ-Warlock Shredzilla Neck

Built for Psychokinetic Speed

The Stranger Things "Eddie's" Inspired Limited-Edition NJ Warlock’s Shredzilla Ultra Slim Contour maple neck ensures you can comfortably launch your fastest runs to dazzle friends and foes alike. The firm grain of the ebony fingerboard adds to the playability by aiding smooth and swift finger movements. Your mind-over-matter skills will rival those of Stranger Things’ telekinetic Eleven, as what you envision in your mind will immediately be conjured through your fingers.

B.C. Rich Stranger Things NJ-Warlock Floyd Rose

Advanced Weaponry to Defeat the Mind Flayer

You’ll need more than just speed to vanquish the Mind Flayer’s hordes from the Upside Down, and the Floyd Rose Special tremolo adds a number of sweet tricks to your arsenal. You can freeze adversaries in their tracks with feral dive bombs, mesmerize them with subtle pitch fluctuations, or startle them with alien gurgles, wails and shrieks. Go as wild with the tremolo attacks as you need to, and the locking nut and bridge will keep your tuning sweet and precise.

And a Warlock Saves the World

The Stranger Things "Eddie's" Inspired Limited-Edition NJ Warlock is a celebration of the Netflix series, the iconic B.C. Rich brand and guitarists who love to shred. But it’s no mere souvenir of a pop-culture phenomenon. The NJ Warlock is made to be played, and while its looks and features veer more toward hard rock and metal than traditional jazz or pop, it’s a guitar that feels good in your hands, produces great tones and takes no prisoners.

Believe the hype, don't buy the negativity

First off, most of the negative comments here come from the fact that it has a Floyd Rose Special and not a 1000 and it is one of 2000, not one of 200. All that could be figured out with a tiny bit of research. These sold quick first batch in June/July, and then the flippers were churning them at 3-4 times MSRP and they were selling. I got a crackle in July. Love it. The neck is nice and fast with the satin finish. The Floyd stays in tune. I have 3 or 4 guitars with FR Specials and they work fine if they are set up correctly (like anything else). The stock pickups work fine and sound good to me. I used to be all about changing pickups, but now I can just change the settings on my amp (or computer). The second batch came out recently and I got a black one and it is just as good. No sharp fret edges. Sure I had to tweak my setup. I always expect that, since no two people are going to have the same idea of what a properly setup guitar is. Bottom line, it is a nice 80's shredder at a competitive price and now there appears to be plenty in stock at GC, so the flippers are not going to make the coin they hoped.

Nice Guitar, Incorrect Listing Information

I bought this when it was just announced. While some reviews are saying "JuSt rEsEaRcH a LiTtLe", they are not well informed. The original listing from BC Rich shows and states that the guitar comes with a Floyd 1000. It also depicted the backplate saying "1 of 200". This was changed two weeks after I got mine. While the bridge in the listing clearly isn't a Floyd, I assumed the listed specs on the BC Rich website would be correct (FR1000). I reached out to BC Rich to question this change and was told that the pictures that they gave to their retailers were of the USA version because they hadn't gotten pictures of the NJ's yet. Specifically because the back plates for the NJ's weren't done when it was time to list them and never were updated. The guitar itself seems fine, though. It actually sounds really good. The neck is very comfortable. It's just unfortunate that the business end got a bit shady.

    The guitar looked and sounded great. However the Floyd Rose would stay sharp or flat depending on which you moved it. I mean alot too, you could see it stay in the wrong place. Sent it back and got something else because I didn't want to have the problem again.
