collapse expand iconDescription

The B. C. Rich Warlock Extreme Exotic, a guitar that makes a statement as bold as your music. This premium electric guitar combines high-output Fishman Fluence pickups with an eye-catching quilted maple top for high-gain tone and show-stopping looks. The Warlock Extreme Exotic features a mahogany body with a sculpted 'Warlock' shape for playing comfort and resonance. It's fast, five-piece maple and wenge neck has a shred-ready satin finish and 24 extra-jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard. With a Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo system, this guitar stays in tune even under heavy use. Unleash crushing rock and metal tones through the direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, which provide a wide tonal palette. The Warlock Extreme Exotic is designed to inspire your creativity and turn heads.

High-Output Pickups Deliver Pristine Articulation

The Fishman Fluence Modern pickups are voiced for articulate, balanced tone with tight lows, smooth mids and crisp highs. They capture the clarity and punch of active pickups without the sterile quality, providing a dynamic and responsive feel. The three-way toggle lets you switch between neck pickup, bridge pickup or both for a range of tones from lush to aggressive.

Double-Locking Tremolo Enables Divebombs and Squeals

The Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system allows for radical pitch bends, dive bombs and squeals while keeping the guitar in tune. With a locking nut and bridge, the strings are secured at both ends to prevent detuning. Adjust the tremolo arm to dramatically raise or lower pitch and unleash your creativity.

Sleek 'Warlock' Body Contour For Playing Comfort

The B. C. Rich Warlock Extreme Exotic features an ergonomic 'Warlock' body shape sculpted for playing comfort. Its lightweight mahogany body with a dramatic upper horn cutaway provides full access to the upper frets. The contoured edges and beveled top fit snugly against your body, with smooth curves that won't catch on your clothes or dig into your ribs during long practice or performance sessions.

Premium Components For Reliable Performance

Grover tuners, strap locks and high-quality hardware provide rock-solid performance and durability. The tuners keep the guitar in tune through heavy use while the strap locks prevent the guitar from slipping off the strap. Premium components like the quilted maple top, abalone binding and ebony fretboard ensure this guitar will handle years of playing while maintaining its stunning visuals.

    So like most I miss the old BC Rich days. A USA Warlock was one of my first real guitars. I had really high hopes for this guitar. It didn't quite live up to my expectations, but it is pretty darn good. The wood and the neck and the construction of the guitar is solid. It also plays very well. However, the neck is much bigger than I expected. It is wider and fatter. It was advertised as super thin, so I was thinking Wizard neck, Charvel Neck, etc. To me it's like a slightly thinner Fender neck. Although still it feels good, the fretwork is outstanding. It could have been improved though, Mainly around the Fishman system. First it rattled when I got it. The battery is just floating loose in the compartment. So first when I got it, I ended up having to remove all the covers to get all the protective plastic off. So much sticky plastic. Then I seen the problem with the battery. Its just floating in the battery hole. Should have been a battery box, or heck even just a piece of foam in there would fix it, which is what I did. Then, why not just use the rechargeable system from Fishman. Already have these on all my guitars, and looks like I need to put it in myself. I always charge all my guitars before going on a gig. Next, they have tons of room in the main cavity, why not make use of the Fishman coil split, the wiring is all there, just shrink wrapped off. Add a tone control, or a couple toggle switches lower down add that as a feature. I mean its there, why not offer it as a choice to the player. If the player never uses it, thats on them. My only other complaints were on doing the setup. It really needed a set up. Intonation was way off. No way it was set up from factory. Also several of the intonation screws had to move tot he other slots because they were bottomed out. Truss rod cover is on with 3 screws. All 3 screws unfortunately placed directly under a string. Way better than BC Rich of the 2010's, comparable to 80's, 90's.

    They don't come with them on this model. They would have to be added after purchase.
