Is this all BC Rich?

[fett]

I got this at my pawnshop. It's been modded. A lot. In's an '80's NJ Series. Kahler Flyer trem. It was a S-S-H. Aftermarket paint. My question is: Is that a Rich body? Thanks

[Cygnus X1]

New to me.

Me too. Other than I have to glue down the first fret, it has a killer neck. I'm not a Rich man and I searched ebay and I didn't see anything close. I thought it might be a Godin body.

Never seen anything quite like it.

could it be a gunslinger model or assassin thats had the upper horns cut to be more warlock style, and the bottom bit cut into look like a wave?

to me it looks like the remnants of a strat body if u look at the contours and the shape and the way its rounded in places. for the most parts its a strart style body

Almost looks like a Wave that somebody shaved down.

That logo looks too small for a BCRich logo like what was normally used on those headstocks, and the body does not look right at all

Looks like a dog fuckin' a goose!
(Kidding!)
Kinda neat-o Mr. fett!

couldn;t be the right upper horn is totally wrong for it. i'm standing by my strat theory. look closely at the body and u can see it's whats left of a heavily modded strat body, that would also fit with the HSS pickup config (if u assume that hss is 90% of the time a strat pickup config)

[toejam]

Yeah, I think you're right. Its body does look more strat shaped, someone gave it a little Wave cut in the bottom and sharpened the horns.

The neckplate is Rich LA B8317. It's a weird one for sure. It doesn't feel lile a Strat body.

Here's the back. Does this help?

BCR didnt make NJ waves during that time frame. it could have been an ST-3, they didnt make slingers or assassin NJs back then either. the kahler flyer & the rest look right for an NJ from the late 80's

thanks that helps YES thats a BCRich import route, it probably did start life as an ST-3

That guitar was at the pawhshop for 10 years. But they just put it out 3 days ago. I paid $75 for it. I went to the shop to look for CD's.

Looks like a NJ STIII with the singles filled in.
You can see the outline of the filled holes in the pic.

I'd bet everyone's eternal soul on it!
