So thats the tremolo series! I never knew the story behind those. Only that the ones I saw were all neck thru and that they went for considerably more than what you would think. I tried for years to get a stealth for a good price (neck thru) but eventually gave up. They seem to be one of the most sought after. Its a great body shape IMO, It reminds alot of the warrior but more elegant because its not very pointy, it has alot of "flow" to it. Part of why I sort of hate BC Rich right now is their new body designs are more like dumb looking medieval weapons than guitars. Point is fine, but they take it to a whole other level. To an extent I saw that in Pablo's new custom shop designs for Jackson but as long as those aren't production models I am fine with it. Trying to hard to be extreme just makes for a body that looks like a giant axe/canopener.
I hear ya sully, I had an old gunslinger too and as I have said many times getting rid of that old BCR was (one) of the worst mistakes I made. That and the JPM are two guitars I would very much like to have back. But what I meant was the bolt ons have been one the best bang for buck guitars for a couple years now, the bolt on ones are often ignored simply because they are bolt on. And really for no good reason, they are just as nice as the neck thru ones in many respects. I do find it funny that NJ was a designation for japanese made yet at some point they were no longer made in japan. In fact they still have the NJ series and to this day I don't think they are made in Japan. Maybe it should be called the NC series?
