A USA BCR ST III is not an NJ BCR, right?

[DonP]

Just trying to keep things straight. The USA is worth more, right?

[Rich#6]

yep and yep. If it's an NJ series it was made in Japan if it has a kahler trem and if it's floyded it was made at the cort factory in Korea.

NJ is not New Jersey, as many believe. It's Nagano (or is it Nagoya?) Japan.

However, I'm not entirely convinced the entire NJ series was made in Japan. I mean, it's just a series designation.


And don't bash the Korean ones too hard. I played an older 90s model with the reverse 6-inline head and what looks like the shittiest Floyd copy ever (flat baseplate too wide for the saddles) and it was a monster.

Then there was a guy at NAMM in '04 ripping the shit out of a Platinum Series. Rob Marcello was the guy's name.

Nagoya. And for only a couple years they were made in Japan. I think early 90's they shifted to Korea.

so, then my kahlered (flyer) late 80s NJ warlock was made in Japan? I always assumed it was, but just checking.

Rob is a monster player and a very nice guy.He works for Roland out of Columbus Ohio last I knew.
He played one I built at a Nashville guitar show and absolutely ripped it up!
Dude is talented for sure.Last I heard he was with Danger Danger.

NJ Nagoya Japan

Then production shifted at soime in 1986 to the Cort factory in Korea
