The only difference is that mine has two coil tap switches for each pickup. The catalog is a very interesting read and I think Ive found something extremely close to what I have bought, the red one that is cut off on the left of this page. Share Report Save level 2 Original Poster 8 years ago Hey, thanks for the extensive and informative post. The NJ series moved to Korea in 1986 where they were made by Cort.
I guess they didnt show all their finishes because it would be more costly. The finish might be able to tell you something but BCR made did a ton of finishes that arent in the catalog like champagne sparkle, gold, yellow, blue, purple, green. Legend has it they were fantastic quality guitars which went through a phase of having BC Rico on the headstock, later to become BC Rich (its the logo saying Rico or Rich down the headstock). in 1983 the BC Rico import line got renamed to the NJ Series, you can look at pre-83 catalogs and see the old import line. It was a bolt-on, MIJ, bright white and a lot of fun to play. I had the opportunity to play an 80s NJ Warlock and I loved it. Theres about 4 different types of guitar called an NJ Mockingbird - some are neck-thru, others are bolt-on, some have kahlers and some have tune o matics, some have rosewood and some have ebony.įrom what ive learned they were made in Japan and had Gotoh hardware (what you find on ESP guitars), occasionally DiMarzio humbuckers were stock but mostly theyre Gotoh-made humbuckers and are the general nasally 80s high-output things that people were doing back then.
BCR seemed to have a lot of guitars in the NJ series with very similar names.
