Master volume, three way switch, master tone. Sperzel tuners. Dunlop Straplok buttons.Licensed Floyd Rose tremolo with locking nut - don't be put off by the 'licensed' part though. I'm not sure exactly what make this is, but BC Rich used high quality parts and it could well be a Takeuchi or Gotoh, which are regarded by some as better made than Floyd Rose Originals.Condition is great, with some of the usual small marks associated with a guitar that gets played and gigged rather than sitting in a case, and unusually for a spiky guitar there is no major damage to the horns, just a little bit of wear and a couple of marks on the back of the neck. Consider it used, but not abused. I've tried to photograph any imperfections, but it's difficult to do this with a black guitar. It's certainly not mint, but there's no notable damage, so consider buying on those grounds, and don't come back to me and whinge and demand a refund later because you've spotted a tiny boo-boo I didn't picture. That said, I want a good sale experience for us both here, so I'm happy to try to take more pics or close-ups or provide details if you're anal about that kind of thing.The serial number is in the format CA0XXX. If you're interested in the actual number then message me and I'll let you know. This format puts this as being made in the BC Rich 'Class Axe Era', which is criticised by some due to the lower quality of the Far East guitars, but the BC Rich USA Custom Shop, where this was made, was not affected by this, and make no mistake, this is a top quality handmade instrument, equivalent to a high-end ESP or Ibanez. It's possible that this was handmade by either Wayne Charvel or Grover Jackson, as they made guitars for BC Rich around the time this was made, but as I don't have the original paperwork, that's difficult to verify. You'll probably see cheaper Warlocks made in the Far East on here, but the difference between those and this is mostly that the neck on this is magnitudes better, with a beautiful finish on it, not the nasty tacky plasticky paintwork. The hardware is top-end. The body is a bit more shapely too, with beautifully bevelled and smoothly curved edges, and the horns are just a little more spiky. BC Rich Warlocks are either loved or hated, but there's nothing more rawk, and this is a proper top-end, modern metal guitar that could be professionally gigged straight away.If you're in an evil satanic black metal band and enjoy burning churches at the weekend, then you need this in your life. It would also be kinda funny to turn up at a jazz festival with this too...
