1984 (?) BC Rich Japanese/USA hybrid. Neck-Thru Japanese craftsmanship with USA styled electronics package. Do not confuse with the generic machine-made newer NJ Retro Series. Not even close. I've been collecting BC Rich guitars since 1987. Feel-wise, this Warlock is on par with my vintage USA models. Neck is excellent, nice low action. All electronics... Vari-tone, phase switching, coil taps, and booster work perfectly. Classic chrome "R" tuners. A professional set up has the USA Kahler working great with spot on intonation. The pickups are Gotoh Dimarzio copies and they sound KILLER.As with most older Warlocks, there are plenty of surface scratches and point dings, many of which have been touched up nicely. Zero breaks, cracks, or structural issues. The plates and jacks are metal, NOT plastic like the later NJ models. The BEST of American/Japanese craftsmanship and innovation from the GOLDEN ERA of BC Rich. Don't let anyone tell you the Neck-Thru NJ's aren't amazing. I'd argue that the Japanese craftsman were as serious about their output as the skilled Mexican fellows who carved the "golden era" USA BCRs.Trusted seller with 100% positive feedback. Thanks for looking. More pics upon request.
