Question Which pickup combo included for specific JP6/JP7 year released?

[Dr.Strangenote]

Can somebody please point me to a thread or area where I could see which JP6/JP7 EBMM guitars had which pickups included by the factory per individual year?

I think there were 3 different combinations during the lifecycle of the sig model, but not sure, that's what I'm trying to understand.

I've searched around google, and this forum, but cannot seem to find the specific info. Thanks in advance..

i think it was
2000-2005 (or maybe mid 06 not 100% sure) was the steve special in the bridge, and not sure about the neck i think maybe air norton
2006-2009 - D-sonic in bridge and Air norton in neck
2009-current is Crunchlab and liquifire combo...
thats going from memory, so not sure if its accurate..

Yeah, sounds right to me.
Although, if you want to be pedantic it wasn't actually a Steves Special, or Air Norton, they were both custom wounds, although very similar to the SS/AN.

 

[marduke]

haha, yeah I forgot about the custom wound bit...

 

[Dr.Strangenote]

Thanks, I really appreciate it! I trust your knowledge on the subject and have this noted. I guess, going back to any ads or a catalog would be a way to find out for sure. Are there any archived catalogs for EBMM?

If these were the custom wounds for the SS and AN, the 2nd phase including the D-Sonic and Air Norton, were they the OEM pickups or also custom wound?

I think the Air Norton may have been custom wound, but I'm pretty sure the Dsonic was stock.
