This is one of Blackie’s owned and stage-used BC Rich Warlock guitars. This guitar was used by Blackie as backup to his primary #1 Warlock and did get extensively used during the KFD Tour. Check out YouTube for the Secaucus NY 1998 show to see this guitar in action for the whole show. This Warlock differs from his #1 Warlock in that it has white binding and dot inlays (instead of diamond inlays) on the neck. COA signed by Blackie attests this Warlock was custom made for Blackie in 1986, this guitar has the autograph of Bernie Rico, Sr. On the back of the headstock. Both guitar and case have not been cleaned since last used by Blackie on 10/7/2001. The guitar and the case show the wear and tear of traveling. Only displayed by private collector since then. Again for the photos, a small piece of paper is placed on the 22nd fret of the guitar to conceal the imprinted serial number. Guaranteed authentic, but such details are for the new owners info only. Definitely a rare, one-of-a-kind WASP collectible. And I know there’s lots of WASP fans out there! ONE PHOTO SHOWS OTHER BLACKIE GUITARS NOT FOR SALE. The Certificate of Authenticity reads as follows. This letter will serve as provenance and Certificate of Authenticity for one B. Rich Warlock #2, and its original case. This Guitar is part of the personal collection of W. Guitarist and Lead Vocalist Blackie Lawless. This Guitar was custom made for Blackie by B. Rich in 1986 and it bears the original autograph-signature of Bernie Rico, Sr. Rich on the back of the head-stock, protected under a coat of clear lacquer. The Guitar has been used along with the B. Rich Warlock #1 on the Inside the Electric Circus Tour and every life performance of every tour since then with the exception of the Headless Children Tour. In addition that, this instrument has also been used and displayed at world renowned shows such as Waken Open Air, Swedish Rock Festival, Gods of Metal etc, as well as in countless photos and videos. This beautiful guitar is made of mahogany neck and body. If features custom white binding around the body, neck and the head-stock and circular shape inlay markers on its fretboard. It also features one single volume knob which is referred to as a speed knob which were an innovation by W. In the early 80s because o fits easy use during liver performances. The case features the name W. Handwritten on a piece of white masking tape on the front, and on both front and back of the case the inscription W. Guitar Coffin #4 also handwritten on a piece of masking tape. On the handle, there is still an LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) sticker from one of its multiple travels. Both the guitar and the case have not been cleaned since the last show they were used on at the Las Vegas House of Blues on October 7th 2001. This letter will serve as a life-time guarantee that the above is true and accurate. I have added a new photo. It had many old labels on it. I do not have the whole carton, but I did save a cut section with previous labels. Again, I have edited the picture for privacy of the addresses, however they do appear upon the actual labels. The label pictured at the bottom-left shows the name Steve Duren. I’m sure you know who that is! The item “W. A. S. P.
