I didn't mean it as a negation, just that they share another spec, but thanks for taking the time to lay out all the interesting technical details Dr. Kev, really useful stuff.
That glossy red finish.. killer. Thanks a bunch for the video Mark!!
PS. There's this one too, in case you might have missed it.
Cheers ya seen it keep an eye out Everyday .. have ordered the red as have a purple guitar (js2450) but they getting one of each so will make final decision when see them all in person (as Long as not all spoken for) but don't think can go wrong with the red , especially on the monarchy!
The purple sparkle on the JS2450 is a fantastic finish, awesome instrument overall. That 'Royal Red' finish.. Definitely not going wrong with that. I've been fantasising it with black hardware, and I think it would make for a killer combo.
Pure speculation on my part, but might the different specs, at least for the bridge pickup, be to compensate for the slight tonal differences in the woods and to make the new Monarchy mahogany and original basswood models sound more like one another?
I have a 2005 Suhr Standard with a basswood back in trans-magenta. Nothing spectacular about the wood but it's not ugly either. I would post a pic of the back but...
Some great stuff on the BL site. (I think I've owned most of his pickups at some point or another.)
