NGD! No you're not seeing double

And with the JP12-7

So this was not supposed to happen like this (I swear )

I got my JP12-7 a little while ago and I was so impressed with it that I decided that I wanted a 6 string JP to compliment it, I've always been a fan of the JP6 with the scoop as well. So I found a pretty good deal on the first unloaded one with the maple neck and pulled the trigger. Happiness ensued.

Then Adamofangels decided to offer me the rosewood neck JP6 in a trade deal and there was quite frankly no way I could say no. I've been after a rosewood neck EBMM for an insanely long time, like since 2011 when I played a Luke with one while I worked for GC. I believe it's a 2012 model but I could be wrong, pretty sure it's got stainless steel frets which the unloaded JP does not have.

All in all I am truly one happy camper.

Niiiice! Congrats!

Thank you! It desperately needs new strings, they feel like they're 100 years old but I'm pretty sure it'll be a monster once I get it fully set up.

It hit me all at once like a ton of bricks

Went from 0 to 3 real quick and my bank account hates me.

Most definitely from the 2014 batch of rosewood necks! Really nice score man! The 2012's had the BFR inlay at the 12th fret, it also has the updated bridge and like you mentioned SS frets so it's a newer one!

What I'm more interested in is the origin of the maple one, that looks an awful lot like a Roasted Maple neck and I haven't seen that offered before!

Congrats and enjoy

I'd really like to hear a clean tone comparison... you're the man to do it.

I see what you did there

From the JP master himself. I was almost positive it had SS steel frets at this point so makes sense.

But yeah the maple one definitely appears to be roasted, which also had me quite confused but I'll be digging into it's origin a bit more shortly, the price on that one was too good to pass up after seeing the neck. You'd think a roasted neck JP would have the BFR treatment, but then again could just be a weird factory mistake

I did once have a mexican tele with this neck

Will do once I have the time to get this thing all set up

nice bank of JP's you're building, congrats.

It was only supposed to be one but things happen I guess

Thank you!
