B.C. Rich NJ Series Deluxe Jr. V. Not sure what is Junior about this guitar! The neck is awesome – beautiful dark ebony, barely any fretwear on it, and headstock breaks or repairs.
It does look like their was a decent break in the lower wing – you can see the repair inside the electronics cavity. That explains the sloppy spray can job that has been done on that part of the guitar. It’s not bad, actually – It looks like a well worn satin finish. I am not good at painting or sanding and buffing, but I do know this could be made to look much better. As for the repair – solid. Not at all concerned about it.
Aside from all that, the EMG 81/85 set that these came with has been replaced with the EMG 89/81TWX Set – which is a signifigant upgrade! I put on Ernie Ball Power Slinky 11’s, and tuned to D standard tuning (with D drop to C), and set the Floyd up for that. What a heavy, heavy sound!

Packing and Shipping:
- I always loosen the strings and support the tremolo
- Special care is given to protect the headstock, especially if it is tilt-back
- I wrap any accessories away from the guitar
- Guitars I ship without a case get completely bubble wrapped and then surrounded by padding inside the guitar shipping box.
- I draw arrows on the box so the carrier does not transport upside down.
- I always ship using Reverb’s Safe Shipping and with UPS Ground.
The majority find my setups to be just right, and playable without any professional intervention (read my feedback). This setup may not be to your specifications, however. If it does not feel right to you, please consider a full setup to get the guitar dialed in to your preferences.
