A monstrously powerful set of features for killer sound and looks.

The Warbeast NJ Deluxe electric guitar from B.C. Rich boasts an ebony fretboard and full pearl binding on the headstock, neck and body. Other deluxe features include neck-through constuction, EMG pickups and a Floyd Rose Original Tremolo.

Neck-Through Construction
B.C. Rich is known as one of the pioneers in neck through construction. They use it on many of their guitars, because it provides the best possible sustain, resonance, comfort and access to higher frets. Neck-through has long been considered the premium construction method for high-end guitars. This construction starts with a long piece (or pieces) of premium North American maple. That piece runs from the tip of the headstock to the strap button on the opposite end of the guitar. This means that the headstock, fingerboard, pickups and bridge all are mounted to this single sound foundation. Sonically it is a difference you can hear. The neck-through construction also allows more of the body and neck to be cut away at the neck joint, which provides comfort no bolt-on or set-neck could offer. You will find the neck through feature on all top of the line B.C. Rich models.

EMG-81 (bridge position)
The EMG-81 is a high output pickup designed especially for the lead guitarist. The 81 is at its best for high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. Whether you're playing power rock and roll, or overdriving your amp, there's a razor sharp attack, and incredible sustain for brilliant soloing. If you're looking for exceptional qualities in a rock pickup, the EMG-81 is the one.

EMG-85 (neck position)
Although the EMG-85 has more measurable output than the 81, its frequency response and string interface are different. The 85 uses two Alnico magnet loaded coils with a wide aperture to maintain a beefy low end and a fatter top end. Because of a more natural tone, it works great as a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output but isn't muddy.

Flat Top
Some of the B.C Rich shapes are offered with a flat top. The flat top styling gives a bold and pristine look to the edge of the instrument's shape. Usually when the flat top feature is used, B.C. Rich adds a stripe of single or multi-ply binding around the edge in a complementary color. The binding on a flat top finishes off the edge cleanly and gives a sleek and clean look to the guitar.

The Rise of The Warbeast
What do you get when a ruthless Warlock picks a vile Beast to bear its spawn? A Warbeast of course! The twisted minds at B.C. Rich combined the ultra-in-your-face upper and lower horns from the Beast with the more comfortable rear of a Warlock - there's a joke in there somewhere... The Warbeast however, is not joking! Ripping the heads off of lesser axes - the Warbeast is on the prowl.

ok, im gonna put a solid thorough review here so be ready to read. to start off, the mahogany wood is excellent wood as you may know, and the emg 81 is a great pickup for any kind of rock or metal with sustain for days. the grover tuners are SUPERB and its a shame theyre not on a nutless fretboard because theyre a pure pleasure to use. best tuners EVER. the original floyd rose is as good as it gets but might need so adjusting when you get it if you play on anything bigger or smaller than 10s or 11s due to minimal rattle. no biggie though. i didnt rate thr quality very high because mine had some noticable flaws after the fretboard clamps where the pearl binding is but im not fretting it much. and as for the ebony fretboard. MAGNIFICENT. very high grade rich, dense ebony. as good as it gets for this price. unlike rosewood and cheaper quality ebony boards, this isnt even noticable when the strings rub the board. the action was medium low when i got it, which is fine because i like the added tone from high action

Screaming Warbeast !

I just got this guitar out of the box and plugged it up to a Vox VT50. This thing is set up perfect for me...low action and I have no problem hitting awesome pinched harmonics. The looks are intimadating to say the least. The EMG's growl and I have sustain for days. If you can ...it's worth the money. It does hurt you a little if your sitting...so stand and give this warbeast a little respect!

I've had this guitar a few months now. It has the sustain and tone you can expect from a neck through B.C. Rich guitar. The neck has a nice feel to it. Not too thick or thin. Be prepared to do a complete set up on this guitar when you recieve it. It is set up for around 9-10 gauge strings, and if you play tuned below E then save yourself some time and set it up when you get it. Pick ups and all. The factory strings sent on this guitar are garbage too. So be prepared to take them off and restring it first thing. Otherwise you will do like I did. Plug it in and think it sounds like crap. After the set up and restringing this guitar is exactly what you would want it to be. Very deep tone, and of course the EMG pick ups make the Warbeast a force to be reckoned with! If you play any type of metal this guitar will do the job nicely. From power/prog to death metal...and the price is the best deal(I shopped around).

I play in a band and we wrote a new song to play at one of are gigs and I was there and about to play and I dropped my gold top les paul :( and the neck broke . Another guitarist gave me his guitar to use which was this guitar. I loved the guitar so much that right after the gig I went out and bought one. I would hate say it but the guitar totally blew my lp away!
