I recently picked up a B-Stock NJ PT. Unfortunately, my on comparison is my current guitar which is an Fender American Ultra HSS Strat. The Fender is my reentry after taking a almost 30yr break from playing. The NJ PT is no Fender Ultra, and as such is not a for comparison.
Not sure if the reason it was B-Stock or not, but several of the frets have some wicked sharp ends. Staying in tune is not a thing, but that could be contributed to the dead Strings that are on it, (may or may not be original), and clearly someone fiddled with the saddles as they are all at the highest height, though the action is still quite playable and they are aligned the same in a straight line. Other things like the tone pot is loose could just be a symptom of it being B-Stock.
It sounds good, even in it's current state, fat clean sounds from the humbucker at the neck and classic rock tones from the bridge.
I've ordered a few parts to customize and hopefully improve the tones: Mainly some new strings, brass saddles(2 1/8 spacing), and a few cosmetic parts to customize the look; New pickguard, knobs, and control plate.
Also ordered a fret file to address those sharp edges. Hopefully this project turns out successfully
