Can anyone testify to Rosewood v. Mahogany necks JP6 BFR?

[ScoobySteve]

Anyone here own both (maybe Pete can attest since he's always around them ) a mahogany neck JP6 BFR and the new rosewood neck JP6 BFR's and attest to the difference?

More vibrant low and hi-tones on the rosewood, with less bass than the mahogany? I find the rosewood to be sturdier than mahogany, but is the feel significantly noticeable?

I'm thinking about investing into a BFR now, and after having seen the Olive Gold Rosewood Neck JP6 BFR on Dubaldo's website, I don't think resist any longer!

Just my 2 cents:

I can't tell You anything about the necks, but to me the main reason beteween those two guitars is a competely different body wood on a BFR. It has Alder/Mahogany Tone Block/ Maple as opposed to Basswood. The body shape is also a bit different, as is the cutaway. And between those two guitars the sonic differencies are very noticeable.

The Olive Gold Rosewood neck JP you're talking about is "just" a standard JP, that has an all rosewood neck. Just try searching for "standard JP vs. BFR JP". We've had quite some talks about it.

My bad, thanks a ton though =D

You are welcome!

And the BFR is a killer - I have a 7-string version right now. Boy oh boy is this thing stunning - absolutely acoustic-like resonance, extreme sustain (it really is extreme - You get a feeling You've got a sustainer installed there. Watch out for feedback). And all that with a clarity and tone that one has to hear to believe. Just gorgeous.

Wait, so your BFR is a rosewood neck?

If you don't mind.... Pics would be greatly appreciated, or a link to a place you've already placed pics.

No, no - I didn't want to confuse You . I have "just" a standard BFR with a mahogany neck - I've added it to my signature.

Pics will come!
