I ordered a JS900 from ishibashi last week and it arrived a couple days ago. Ever since I saw the old catalog shots of the JS1's in BK with the
chrome hardware I knew that was what I wanted. As trivial as it is to most people the chrome hardware totally changes the overall appearance of the guitar. Unfortunately it doesnt have the coil tap or
high pass filter like my brothers JS1000BTB but that should be easy to remedy; it sure is going to be a lot easier than trying to track down chrome JS parts to change out the hardware on a standard 1000bp. Anyway, I know the 900 isnt black like the js1's but I really think that the black pearl and chrome looks even classier. Plus the edge trem is a bit different in feel than the lo-pro on the 1000's, I definitely like it better. Overall it is really an amazing guitar I dont know why they dont offer it here in the states. Well, hopefully I can get some good pictures up somewhere soon because I know that pictures of this guitar are near impossible to come by (I know because I couldnt find anything but catalog shots before I ordered mine).
