Woodrite Matt Pike Signature Warlord Electric Guitar – Crimson Burst
Immerse yourself in the intense realm of the Riff Child himself, Matt Pike, the creative force behind Sleep, High on Fire, and Pike vs. The Automaton. Woodrite Guitars, in collaboration with Lace Pickups, proudly presents the Matt Pike Signature Woodrite Warlord—a guitar forged from the savage depths of Pike's creative prowess and designed to deliver crushing doom, stoner rock, and heavy metal tones.
Mahogany Body with Figured Maple Top
The Warlord features a solid mahogany body paired with a figured maple top, combining the thick, warm midrange and sustain of mahogany with the added clarity and visual beauty of maple. This tonewood pairing delivers powerful low-end punch, rich harmonic content, and excellent note definition—perfect for downtuned riffing and heavy distortion. The Crimson Burst finish with white/cream binding highlights the natural figuring of the maple top, creating a visually stunning instrument that commands attention on stage.
Lace Matt Pike "Firespitters" Pickups: Three-Pickup Fury
Custom-designed Lace "Firespitters" pickups deliver the massive, crushing tone that defines Matt Pike's signature sound. This unique three-pickup configuration features:
- Neck Pickup: 14.6k ohm – thick, articulate rhythm tones with excellent clarity
- Middle Pickup: 17.8k ohm – adds depth and harmonic complexity
- Bridge Pickup: 23.4k ohm – devastating high-output tone for crushing distortion
Lace's proprietary Micro Matrix Bobbins redirect the magnetic field into smaller, tighter loops, creating a 'monopole' effect that eliminates dead zones and delivers consistent response across all strings. The mixture of Barium Ferrite and Ceramic magnets provides aggressive attack with tight low-end control—essential for downtuned heaviness.
Unique 3-Way Switching for Tonal Versatility
The custom 3-way toggle switch offers three distinct voices:
- Treble Position: Bridge pickup only – maximum aggression for leads and heavy riffs
- Middle Position: All three pickups – massive, layered tone with incredible depth
- Rhythm Position: Neck and middle pickups – thick rhythm tones with enhanced harmonic content
This unique switching configuration gives you access to tones unavailable on traditional two-pickup guitars, from crushing doom to soaring leads.
Matt Pike "Serpent Sun" Inlays
The ebony fingerboard features custom "Serpent Sun" inlays designed by High on Fire artist Jordan Barlow, adding distinctive visual character that reflects Matt Pike's artistic vision. Combined with jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12" radius, the fingerboard delivers fast, smooth playability perfect for technical riffing and lead work.
Premium Hardware and Playability
The Warlord is equipped with professional-grade components built for reliability and performance. TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide rock-solid intonation and sustain, while Grover Imperial tuning machines ensure precise tuning stability with heavier gauge strings. The medium "C" neck profile (0.800" at 1st fret, 0.875" at 12th fret) with mahogany construction and binding offers comfortable grip for extended playing sessions.
Factory Setup for C-Standard Tuning
The Warlord comes factory-tuned to C-Standard (C, F, A#, D#, G, C) with D'Addario EXL145 strings (.012-.054)—Matt Pike's preferred tuning for Sleep and High on Fire. The guitar is professionally set up and ready to deliver crushing doom and stoner rock tones right out of the case.
