Question about the current JPs

[MN246]

Are the new JPs being produced with birdseye necks? I recently read a post from BP that said it was becoming rare or harder to get. Just curious.

They don't have the same birdseye as the Axis's from the stores I've been visiting the past 3 weeks on the road..Still nice..But kinda remind me more of a knotty-pine..then a birds-eye maple...But they might be shipping them that way to Guitar Center.But wood gets like that..several of the woods on my basses made pre-92 are on endangered species lists now .

my jp6 was born 04/30/07 and hasn't got any eyes on the neck. but thats ok, as i am against mass-killing of birds!

I'll love it either way. My Axis was made in 2001 and has a great birdseye neck and fingerboard on it.

Neck are (and have always been) luck of the draw. Some have more figuring that others.

Neither of my JPs have any birdseye on the neck. One of Beachjammer's JPs has the most birdseye I have ever seen though!
