JS1200CA -
The 1200 remains my pick for the sweetest JS. The 1200 is equipped with the PAF JOE neck pickups, developed for Joe by Dimarzio to better
emulate the "tubular" tone of the Fred. The 1200 also has CHROME hardware
[THANK YOU IBANEZ] which I've always thought looked best on a JS.

NOTICE - For some time now I've been
noticing what I term "contour blems" on the 1200's, which so far I've either
rejected, or when noticed too late, put them up on my USED page as discounted.
Recently, there have been more with some small contour blem than without. Out
of the last 4 guitars in, 3 of them had small discernable contour blems, and
the 4th had a neck joint crack [returned]. They have become prevalent enough
that if I return every 1200 with a small contour blem I'll never have any to
sell. As the situation has shifted to "normal and expected" I will no longer
be returning them, except in cases of major contour blems [which would be at
my determination] and no loger discounting them.
What is a contour blem? The curves
of the upper and lower bouts should be very smooth and even. A contour blem is
anything that is not perfectly smooth, curved, and even in either the lower or
upper bout curves. These you will notice as the light glares off the very edge
of the curve showing you a slight distortion in the line. Most people never
see them, even on the ones I have sold discounted and fully described on my
USED page. For whatever reason I do not find these on 1000's but only on
1200's, though it should be no surprise they are different as the neck pockets
between the 2 are also a little different, even though I am told it's the same
program used for both, obviously this is not the case.
