![]() Rumour has it that Japan itself is being geographically re-designed to resemble, you guessed it, a Strat!! Does the world need another bleeping Strat? I have a theory that there is a surplus of Strat bodies piled high in a used car lot in the heart of Japan's guitar industry: so large is this mountain that our inscrutable friends can't bear to waste a potential profit. ![]() Mind you, one does have to question the inclusion of a Strat-shaped guitar into the range when the whole point of the NJ Series was to offer the outlandish American designs at a cheap price. Still, in my books anyone who knocks out a guitar for (just) under £200 deserves a pat on the back. Despite what people would have us believe, the NJ Series is just another front for a Japanese budget range of guitars and the results are typical of that ilk. ![]() Certainly the shapes are borrowed from the legendary BC Rich instruments (with the exception of the ST) but little else remains. ![]() It's always interesting to check out any make of guitar with an American name even when, like these, they are designed in America and made in Japan.
