Off Topic Comparison chart of all JP models

First JP6/JP7 models (like mine) had "custom wound" humbuckers in it, not separately sold pus (like d-sonic, liquifire, or crunchlab).
 
Exactly. They had custom wound pickups with the neck one similar to an Air Norton and the bridge similar to a Steve's Special up to around 2005 (my 2005 still has them), after that the neck pickup stayed the same and the D-Sonic appeared in the bridge. Don't know when the next change came along, but it might be useful to add those dates, because that's one thing I can never keep straight without searching the forum.
 
That is freakin' fantastic. Great job!

It's funny, looking at that chart it's clear John started his guitars at 15", experimented a bit with 20", and then settled on 17".

The only thing I think would be an addition to your chart is one of the things that most of us obsess on ~ color. There's a couple of great threads on the forum on JP colors that u might could reference.

Thanks for the info! I too was confused. To make things even more confusing, the EBMM site says that the standard JP comes with the D-sonic in the bridge but I'm pretty sure its actually a liquifire/crunchlab?

Thanks, and good call!
 
I noticed 2 errors with the chart.
The JP13 listed alder body wood but it is basswood.
The JP16 listed mahogany neck wood but it is roasted maple.

This I'm not too sure but I think the JP16 has no top wood.

Can the author correct and re-upload the chart? It is very helpful.

Done!

I made all corrections everyone pointed out here, thanks guys!
 
Really?... There were older JPX's without SS frets?

I have fully come to appreciate SS frets -- the ONLY way to go IMO!!!

Yes, SS is the only way to go. I'm glad EBMM decided to put them on everything. Much easier to bend, it's almost like cheating ;)
