Description
The NJ Supreme Warlock by B.C. Rich
The BC Rich NJ Supreme Warlock is a high-performance electric guitar known for its aggressive styling and heavy tone, making it a staple for metalheads and hard rockers. Released during the 1980s, this guitar was part of BC Rich's New Jersey series, which was famed for producing premium-quality instruments that were crafted in the USA. The Warlock shape is one of the most iconic and unique designs in the world of electric guitars, with sharp, angular points that scream rock and metal. The NJ Supreme Warlock features high-output humbuckers that provide thick, powerful distortion and a lot of sustain, perfect for aggressive playing styles like shredding, palm-muting, and heavy riffing. With a set neck for improved sustain and resonance, and high-end components, the Warlock was built to perform at the highest level.
Specs:
• Body: Solid mahogany body with the signature Warlock shape, featuring sharp angles and a menacing design
• Neck: Set neck construction (typically mahogany), offering increased sustain and resonance, with a fast-playing neck profile suited for shredding
• Fingerboard: Rosewood or ebony fingerboard with 22 frets, smooth playability for fast, intricate solos and riffs
Pickups: 2 high-output BC Rich humbuckers (often B.C. Rich’s own brand or DiMarzio depending on the model year) for a thick, powerful tone with plenty of sustain and clarity, especially on distortion
• Controls: 1 master volume, 1 tone control, and a 3-way toggle switch for versatile tone-shaping
• Bridge: Tune-o-matic-style bridge for solid tuning stability and sustain
• Scale Length: 24.75 inches, standard for the Warlock style
• Neck Profile: Typically a slim, fast neck designed for speed and comfort, especially for rock and metal players
• Hardware: Chrome or gold hardware, depending on the model, with locking tuners for tuning stability
• Finish: Glossy finishes such as Black, Red, or Flamed Maple with various custom designs and details, including binding and inlays
• Weight: Around 3.5-4 kg, offering a balanced feel without being overly heavy, yet substantial enough to resonate well
• Included Accessories: Often comes with a hard case or gig bag (depending on the original packaging)
