Anyone here own a JP6 or a Kaizen AND a Richardson?

I'm trying to get an idea of what the neck might be like on the Jason Richardson model. I'm very familiar with a JP6 and a Kaizen, so if you can compare to those, that would be really helpful!

Thanks!

I have a 2024 JR 6 and a Kaizen 6, they are very similar, in a non-sciencey way.

Good to hear. I lOVE the neck on my Kaizen so interested to see how I might get along with a JR. Thanks!

And this just killed my GAS for a Kaizen, so double thanks.

I own a JP20th, which has the same neck specs as a JP6. I also own a Kaizen 7 and a Richardson. The JR is a little rounder shaped overall. They’re all pretty flat radius and fast. Takes less than 5 minutes to acclimate between them.

Agree on all counts. After playing both now for some time the JR is definitely rounder feeling. Both are fantastic sounding. The HB in the bridge of the JR is my favorite bridge pickup EVER -0 and it's not even close. Never have I found a more bridge pickup with a more perfect EQ - love it!

I am sorry (yet again) to hear about your experience, but to be honest I would still buy a Kaizen without hesitation if my playing style and the Kaizen neck were more in alignment.

Especially considering that Ernie Ball seems to be taking good care of you, as I would expect in this situation.

That is what they say unless I have the body functional I would confirm the good care. RICHARDSON seems attractive. In my country is hard to sell 7 string guitars but I am. Kinda attracted to Richardson 7.JP6 I had one. With no piezo. And JP 15 well neck really thinner in comparison JP6.
