Heck what's the store? Is it online? If you don't buy it I will!Very good shape, about 2 small dings in the body, non original case though
for sell at about 2,2k USD
Is it worth it? I love Ibanez and love JP tone but i thought they would go for less
it's about whether it's worth it to you. you can an ibanez with similar specs from the same time period for less than half that. you're paying for the graphic and collector value
I been seeing some Ibanez JPs at a local "craig list" for way less... they might have been sold already...
ah that's fairNot quite.
The JP models had thier own neck shape, slightly thicker and rounder with a more pronounced center, so it's not like you can grab an old RG470 for $300 and get a JPM feeling guitar.
But, that neck might not interest someone who is looking for a Super Wizard or something. The most recent profiles I'd compare it to are JEMs and the Ultra HP, similar but not the same.
I think ill pass, ive seen some for 1,5-1,8k usd. no hurries
main thing that worries me is the neck, im really used to thin fast necks
I'm in the market for one. Which city?
I don't agree about the neck shape. Maybe there are slight variations. Maybe it was the case with my previous P2. As I remember: the neck was 43 mm wide at the nut, but was massive. I mean massive D with pronounced shoulders. Very awkward for me.Not quite.

Oh 2,2k$ is too much for P4 IMHO. ~2k is adequate for P2 and P3 in good shape. The camo one is regarded as inferior IIRC.
OK. Seems very logical. Thx for the explanation. As the matter of fact, the neck shape was the reason i sold mine. It sounded great thou.There was a lot of variation back then, Fujigen was still using a copy-carver and shaping/sanding necks by hand. Necks could vary as much as three or four millimeters in thickness, the width was kept close simply by virtue of needing to fit the locking nut.
It's hard to assess price for these things in markets like Chile where there are likely very few of these in the entire country, let alone local.
