Looking for an authentic late-’90s metal machine? This B.C. Rich Platinum Series Warlock is exactly that. Finished in the beautiful Transparent Blue finish, this Korean-made Warlock showcases subtle wood grain beneath the gloss, giving it a unique look compared to the more common solid black versions.

This guitar has been professionally set up with Ernie Ball M-Steel 10-46 strings, providing excellent tuning stability, enhanced output, and long-lasting performance. M-Steel strings utilize a cobalt alloy wrap wire, producing increased clarity, punch, and sustain while maintaining a smooth playing feel.

The fret ends have also been professionally rounded, making the neck exceptionally comfortable to play from the first fret all the way to the 24th. A replacement nut has been professionally installed, further improving tuning stability and overall performance.

Everything else remains completely stock, including the original B.C. Rich humbuckers, bridge, tuners, and electronics.

Condition

Overall, this Warlock is in very good condition for its age.

It shows the honest cosmetic wear you’d expect from a guitar that’s spent its life being played rather than stored away. There are several small chips, dings, light scratches, and edge wear in the typical “usual suspect” areas—primarily on the body points and one headstock tip. All cosmetic flaws have been clearly photographed.

These marks are purely cosmetic and do not affect playability or structural integrity in any way. They simply give the guitar the kind of earned character that only comes from decades of making music. If anything, they’re a rite of passage for a true Warlock.

Mechanically, the guitar performs beautifully and is ready for years of continued use.

Includes

• Premium RoadRunner padded gig bag
• Backpack-style shoulder straps
• Multiple accessory storage compartments

This is an excellent gig bag that offers far more protection than a standard economy bag.

Serial Number: F2061239

While B.C. Rich import serial numbers from this era don’t provide an exact production date, the “F” prefix, Widow headstock, construction, and hardware all indicate this guitar was manufactured in Korea during the late 1990s, most likely around 1998 (±1 year).

This is a fantastic example of a late-‘90s Korean Platinum Series Warlock that’s been thoughtfully maintained and professionally set up. It retains all of its original character while benefiting from tasteful functional upgrades that make it an even better player. If you’ve been searching for a genuine Warlock from B.C. Rich’s golden era of import production, this one won’t disappoint.
