Music Man JP models comparison chart, here!

[Rachmaninoff]

Hey guys,

I was having some trouble comparing the features of all JP models (too many!), so I created a comprehensive chart with all major features to have everything organized in a single place, chronologically, for easy reference.

Please check if it's accurate enough, I'm open to suggestions as well. I hope it can be useful to someone else.

Thanks. That is much easier to understand than going from model to model on the website.

Correct me if i am wrong but i think "Normal" JP6 (talking about 2009) can have ebony fingerboard too! Stealth black version has ebony fingerboard, isnt it?

I bought my jp6 in October 2007, and it has the Crunch Lab and LiquiFire pickups. It is not the BFR (that model was brand new if I recall right), I think it has a basswood body, but does have a maple neck with rosewood.

Great initiative, thanks for sharing, very helpful!

Nice chart but you forgot the 7s!!

 

[Rachmaninoff]

I intentionally didn't include the 7s, because it would be way too much information to organize.
Anyway, what differences would they have from their 6s sisters (beyond the fretboard width)?

Well done. I'd never heard of the Steve's Special pickup. I wonder which Steve it's named after?

Steve Blutcher (head of R&D for Dimarzio), I believe.

Great job tracking that down.

A while back I had made a spreadsheet for the same purpose, but didn't include past pickups.

I went ahead and added a row for past pickups and added your data.

Hmmm...my 2005 doesn't have a d-sonic. I don't recall them switching that year...

Well, that's pretty lame.
