You need to play them all and make your own choice. They are all great.

the problem is there is no store in my country that sell jp except the standard model
i see you have the bfr and the jpx what do you prefer? and btw there is really different in the sound and the play ability between the standard bfr and the koa ?

The BFR is suposdely better than the regular one, at least in the looks (maple top).

As far as quality, they´re all great. You just have to check your budget and take your aim, since the amount of choices is almost endless in the JP

there is only one store in my country that sell new jp6 standard and i saw only 1 that sells used bfr model but he lives pretty far from me.
maybe more one or two months i'll be in paris do you know any good guitar shops there? (that have the jp models)

I have owned them all. Regular JP6, BFR and all the JPX variants. So far the JP12 is the best one for me. Just has the perfect tone IMO. Tight, yet smooth and fluid. Extremely versatile. The JPXI is a close second. The BFR's are gorgeous with the sweet figured tops, but IMO the JPX's play and sound better. Don't look to shabby either.

I love the standard JP6 and I dearly miss mine. I wouldnt say that any models are "better" just different. With the correct eq which I do admit took me a while, it was a wonderous guitar. Crunchy rhythm gain, searing leads with great airiness and body, and the middle position gave awesome clean spank. An excellent excellent guitar. Of all the JP tone out there I enjoy his Budokan and recent live performance. What do they have ib common? Basswood

So hard to say wich one is the "best" ... I played the JP6, JPX and currently a BFR.
I miss my JPX dearly but the BFR is my favorite so far.

But overall I would say you can`t buy a "bad" JP model, because they are all so so so good.
No matter what gig you play.. the JP does it all!

but is the price diff between the jp6 to the jpx/xi/bfr really worth it?

My opinion? YES!
My "Black Sugar" has a beautiful roasted Birdseye-Maple neck. I stripped off the coat and waxed it, feels like a baby`s bottom now and looks gorgeous too!
The finish of the body sparkles like crazy on stage but looks decent and pitch black in normal lighting.

I love the standard Jp for the unfinished neck, to me its the player, and the bfr is the collector, but anything with Ernie ball on the headstock is the best, get your favorite color and call it a day.

Off topic I know, but how did you go about removing this clear on this one? Did you also take it away around the neck pocket or did you just stick between the heal and headstock base?
