Cinnamon Texture or Mystic Dream?

[pantalaimon]

Hi,

I'm looking for a JP6 for quite a time, now a guy came across me who wanted to sell a JP6 MD fully loaded. He sent me pics, I've attached some of them.

Now is this really MD or CT? There was a topic were this finish was discussed over, otherwise I didn't even know about its existence. I don't like the Cinnamon finish, it looks like an autoscooter.

I've also attached a pic of a JP6 that is in MD in my opinion..

So, what do you say?

CT?

MD!

CT?

MD!

thanks for replies,

Mikel

It's mystic Dream. I'm not sure any JP's were made in Cinnamon Texture , but I can say for 100% that it is Mystic Dream. Cinnamon Texture is a discontinued colour, and that JP has the D-sonic which was only put on the JP's from aobut a year ago.

Post the serial number.....then I think they can tell you from that

I may be wrong, but I thought the Cinnamon finish only came on the SUBs.

 

[pantalaimon]

but isnt there some kind of a sparkling effect on the upper pics? or was it just a bad camera? also watch the tone.. it's nearly the same angle (it depends on the incidence of light, i know...) but a different colour..

i haven't got the serial number yet, i'll post it lateron.

Mystic Dream does the colour shift thing as well. It is defo 100% not Cinnamon Texture. Check around. You wont see any JP's with that finish.

It IS Mystic Dream.
The textured cinnamon finish was only featured on SUB1 guitars.

I don't know what autoscooters you've seen, but if I ever should get to see one in Textured Cinnamon finish I'd be happy to buy it for my living room decoration. Unparalleled finish !!! ...can't see what's wrong with it...

P.S.: Have a look into this older thread of mine for some pics on TC - it looks completely different from MD (apart from color shifting capabilities when changing lighting and angle):

Thanks for the information, guys. i didn't know about that sub-thing. but you do see this sparkling effect that i see, do you? maybe i should just look out for an optician..

...just edited my above post...

The sparkle thing is cos of the grain used to get the colour shift. MD isn't really a sparkle finish per se. Im not an expert on this, so someone chime in if im wrong, but they use microscopic pyramid shaped crystals (???) and spray them from different angles with different colours to get the colour shift effect. The sparkle effect is just those catching the light at certain angles. At some angles my JP6 MD looks like a solid colour (Purple, burgandy, green). At others I get a blend of those on different parts of the guitar and sometimes, especially close up, you do get a sprkly effect. But nothing like an actual sparkle finish.

@axillla... just noticed that you actually own a sub in cinnamon finish, so i'm finally convinced

with that said, no more cons concerning my JP6-deal

 

[Axilla]

Go for it - it really looks like a great guitar in perfect condition !!!

 

[MusicManJP6]

The 'sparkle' is because the MD has a metallic-ish property to it, I guess from the "microscopic pyramid shaped crystals". I love the finish on mine!! I'd say get it!

serial is G35802, what does this tell me?

 

[pantalaimon]

hmm, thats strange:

I think the SN the guy gave me differs from the one you can barely make out on the picture of the jp6's back! look here:

Serial he told me : G35802
You can't really see the serial on the picture, but you can make out a 6 at the end..? this makes me a bit uncertain, unfortunately he hasn't got a cam to take more pictures.

 

[roburado]

I think it's possible that he gave you the correct serial number. I think the last digit looks more like a 2 than a 6.

The serial number by itself will tell you nothing. It is randomly assigned. Only if EBMM look up the number in their records will they be able to tell you anything. If you want, e-mail customer service to find out for yourself what color it is.

It's Mystic Dream. The JP is not available in the cinnamon texture finish. The linked page will show you the available colors for the JP. http://www.ernieball.com/mmonline/color_chart/available.html

 

[Sub1 Zero]

It's correct, the bottom of the two is reflecting light. All the other numbers match up

 

[peedo_deedo]

Definitely a Mystic Dream. Customer Service is really really great, just give them a call and they will shed some light to all of your questions

 

[pantalaimon]

I'll have a look by myself, because in the next weeks it should arrive at my door

 

[roburado]

Eh...who cares? If he wants to sell, he'll take your money...or someone else's if they offer more.
