Hey that's a really cool summary JB...

A companion thread I go to frequently is the one where they list all the JP colors that were ever made, thread is HERE.

Yes, of course. Thanks for saying =) So, how's the Monarchy sounding? Satisfied with the Sonic Ecstasy voicing?

Thanks a lot Razzle, hope it helps a bit =D

And thanks for the thread with all the finishes. Quite a big variety there. I had forgotten a lot of those finishes, it's a pity a lot of those are discontinued by now.

I've very happy with the Sonic Ecstacy pickups in the Monarchy. I've been day dreaming of picking up the 7 string too

 

[johnnyboogie]

Hahahaha, go for it for sure =)

I believe the Black Knight would be a great looking 7-string bad boy..
