B.C. Rich Review: NJ Series Assassin

History:

Purchase: Purchased fro a local dealer(not out of business) in '95 for $550 (retailed for $799).

What I Like About This B.C. Rich NJ Series Assassin: Cool strat look with transparent red paint job, quilted/flame look. Floyd Rose trem! Diamond inlays look cool, also.

What I Do NOT Like About The B.C. Rich NJ Series Assassin: Floyd Rose has always been sloppy and is hard to dial in when puting on new strings. The stock EMG Selects were weak, so I replaced the bridge humbucker with a Seymore Duncan George Lynch model Screamin' Demon. I left the 2 single coils.

B.C. Rich NJ Series Assassin Quality Rating: Excellent paint and construction. Floyd Rose is fairly cheap, but works. Overall, I would give it a B+!

Review Summary: Good guitar, but not worth the $ at retail (is anything?). Good rockin' guitar for beginner/intermediate.

Rating of this B.C. Rich product: 4
