The more I play my vintage yellow JS-400 the more I love it …. Even got myself a JT-300 and that’s a gem too ! But I need to try one of these pink ones w the rosewood neck … I’m intrigued!! 😮
Love my JS-500, but the Wilkinson trem got replaced, its knife edges where worn badly after just a few months. Did replace electronics to match what I have in another guitar, but the electronics in the 500 are of good quality with exception for the jack. Also had to work a bit over the fret ends and knock one down since the high E did slip under it during a divebomb. Most important, fret level job from factory is flawless, went with 1/4mm relief (8th fret) and 1.4mm action at the 17th fret, no fret buzz even with my 2mm pick. The locking tuners are ok, could be better though since they aren’t as smooth as a few others I got. Nut seems fine, slots can be a touch lower and wider towards the tuners, G-string still goes slightly out of tune upon big bends and deep dive bombs, so might be better to invest in an even better trem to get it to stick and maybe replace the nut with a locking, roller or graphtech dependant on which trem I end up with installing on it.
Does the silver ever look as gold in person as it seems to in a lot of pictures I've seen? I'm tossing up between the silver sparkle and the black sparkle JS-500 🤔
