JP necks

[Jamie]

I was in sound control a week ago and i was taken by shock to see that they had a luke 20th aniversary, so i asked for a shot and when i started playing it, i noticed something.
The neck is unfinished but the head still has the gloss on it. at first i thought it was a bit weird to play but it got me wandering if the JP is the same?

Do you mean the 20th Silo?

I don't know about the JP, but on my ASS, the headstock has a gloss finish.

You mean a 20th, right? There's no Luke anniversary model yet

All the MMs are like that. The playing area of the neck is unfinished, but the headstock has a finish on it to protect the color, logo, decals, signature, etc.

I didnt think it was a 20th luke but it was like cream and on the back it had the red writing with some kind of special, something.
could it be a limited addition?

 

[beej]

Yeah, sounds like the Limited Edition Buttercream finish.

Sorry to hijack the thread briefly

Beej, what made you put an OBL in the neck position of that N4 and how did it sound?

 

[beej]

The knock-off BL that Washburn puts in there is pretty crappy. A bit of researched turned up the real BL and I ordered one for fun. Got me hooked on the pickups (this was years ago) and I've had many of them in various guitars since.

The 500 I put in the bridge sounded absolutely killer - much much better than the stock one. Works very well with that guitar. I also put a 500R in the neck while I was at it.

Both of my JPs have had gloss on the back of the headstock, but the neck is of course, unfinished.

I was about to buy a graphite pearl JP, fully loaded of ebay but the guy will not ship to the uk, gutted!!!

Hi Jamie.

What SC were you in? a LTD BC Luke would do me quite nicely just now.....

Cheers,

B.

The JP is the same. So is the 20th Anniversary Silo. I believe any of the EBMM painted/stained headstock guitars have the same thing.

One of my favourite local guitar players here has the exact same set of pickups and they sound great

Glossy ASS is cool.

I was in the sound control in glasgow,
It was really nice to play, and it looked nice in the BC!

Jamie, you should edit your post. Retail pricing isn't supposed to be posted on the forum

 

[Jamie]

Cheers for pointing that out!!
I have not actually read the rules yet, i think ill do it now.

 

[robelinda2]

you can post retail prices cant you? just not street prices i thought.

 

[Jamie]

I read the rules but im still not quite sure.

 

[Jimmyb]

I think MSRP is ok, street price is a no-no. 2nd hand is good as well.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm (invariably) wrong
