1990 BC Rich Gunslinger NJ Series SSH Flame Top Purple Sunburst w/ Floyd Rose & Case, Japan

Weighing 8lbs 6oz, tonewoods include a basswood body with flame maple veneers on the top and back, and a maple neck with a 22 fret slab maple fingerboard. The SSH pickup configuration offers plenty of heat and versatility, with Super Distortion-style crunch and cut in the bridge position, and single coils that are wound with plenty of snarl and spank.
