What's the difference between the JP6 PDN and JP6 BFR PDN?

[Tanax]

Other than the quilted maple top and the BFR-inlay, are there any other differences?

I imagine a solid mahogany body instead of Alder/tone block

No Alder on the BFR, you can see the mahogany on the back on the instruments. Only what you mentioned, plus the slightly different body shape (scoop on one, thinner horn on the other).

yup, quilted maple top, bfr inlay, push-pull pot, different body style, bfr case.

The body wood on both is the same, according to the specs.

Alright. That was actually kind of why I was asking. Seeing as how the BFR-version is more than a $1000 more expensive, I was wondering if a maple quilt top justifies that much of a price-increase.

lol, but right.

That is just the price point for that guitar. You are are likely to get an amazing top with the BFR PDN though. Plus some people prefer that body shape.

Of course. I was not trying to argue that the price was too high. I was simply wondering if there was actually something tangible that caused the price-increase, such as better body-wood -type of things.

I think that if one were to purchase a PDN (limited model), the BFR option is the cream of the crop. The price is all factored in with the BFR tag. I'm confident that each flavor of the PDN is amazing and built quality is superior regardless of whichever flavor one decides to purchase. It now all depends on personal preference. Me, I'd love a BFR 6 or 7, however, I would be totally content with a JP6 or JP7 in PDN based purely on their spec.

I definitely agree with you, Doctor. Especially with this PDN-run. The BFR isn't that much different. They both have the same wood, neck, fretboard, headstock and what-not. The only thing(okay, don't misunderstand me with "the only thing") you get for the BFR-pricetag is the BFR-inlay, the BFR-scoop and the BFR-top. Don't get me wrong, those tops are amazing and it would be great to get that. But for $1100+ more than the "regular" PDN, I'm not so sure which was why I was wondering if I had missed some spec that separated the regular from the BFR

If it's of any help, my "regular" JP7 PDN sounds better than my JP12, which is BFR. Construction details are at the same level.
