Up for sale, a 2001 B.C. Rich “Japan Monster” Warlock in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This rare guitar was crafted as part of B.C. Rich’s “Japan Monster” series, a premium line designed exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, featuring top-notch components including EMG pickups, a Schaller 455 wraparound tune-o-matic bridge, and a curly maple top highlighted by a gloss Trans Purple finish. Notably rare among the various Japanese-made B.C. Rich series, sparingly few Japan Monster Warlocks were ever produced.
This Warlock features mahogany set-neck construction, ensuring plenty of natural midrange warmth and sustain. The pair of EMG 81 pickups utilize ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, designed for optimal note detail, enhanced high end cut, and fluid sustain, engineered so that lead work will slice through even the densest mix with an aggressive snarl. This Japan Monster Warlock weighs 7lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
