This has helped me dream of getting this guitar. Just got my JS2480 last week through Guitar Center with a 20% off coupon. Absolutely love this guitar. Aug of 2023 I had purchased a used JS2410 that was mint and it was the nicest guitar I had ever played but I still dreamed of the JS2480. Now I have myself a proper JS collection.

@davidupton8100 Oh, wow. You answered! Can I ask another one, please? How is the fit for the neck pickup? Do the strings and the pole pieces align? The reason I ask is that it's usually recommended to have a regular spaced pup in the neck and f spaced in the bridge. How does your guitar look cosmetically? My apologies if I'm wasting your time.

@@trevorshear7737 I totally do yes, I think it's down to personal taste, some people prefer flatter wider necks, my style is much more suited to the JS, in fact my favourite of all is a PRS Paul's Guitar which is slightly thicker, weirdly when I'm playing live an potentially pressing too hard, I find I get far less cramp with the thicker neck (I'm not talking baseball bat Gibsons) but this is partly why I prefer the JS and PRS

Nice guitar! Nice review. I have a couple of USA PRS, a Singlcut 594 and a Silver Sky, and I’ve been thinking this or the Modern Eagle V (Similar I think, but with a single coil in the middle position) would round out the stable. PRS is n their golden era, making the best guitars they ever have. I’ve been selling off Fender, Gibson and Martin guitars for me. I’d also like a PRS 12 string, I always like an electric 12. I have a mid 2000s OLP (MusicMan copy) which is really high quality, low action and perfect intonation on all 12 strings at standard tuning.
@davidupton81005 ай бұрын
@@DennyBob521 Many thanks. I certainly agree PRS are in their golden era, they are exceptional guitars, the Paul's guitar has stopped me buying and wanting new guitars. I also have been selling off my Gibsons (not so much Fender) as I don't play them anymore. The Modern Eagle V is stunning too, I may trade some more of my collection for one of these at some point. I have a Custom 24 I love for songs that need the trem, but I'd love to have a trem and the TCI pickups (as well as the Paul's for the fixed bridge).

Hi Dave. I bought a TriplePlay with the foot controller about 4 years ago. Installing the pickup was easy and i was able to hook it up to my iPad just fine but wasn't able to play all the soft synth sounds that i had paid for so I put the whole thing away. I'm a retired guitarist and I own quite a few synths, arrangers and high quality sound modules. Your video is giving me new hope for the TP. It seems to me that using the TP with a MIDI sound module maybe much simpler than with VSTs on my iPad or computer! My sound modules have both 5-pin MIDI and USB. Do you recommend going MIDI out from the foot controller to MIDI in on the sound module? It almost looks like you're able to bypass the foot controller altogether. Is that correct? I would be grateful for any help you can provide!

I upgraded the pickups to the Sathur8 in the bridge and the PAFJOE in the neck and it's stunning. Also I love the neck profile. There is something really top quality about the JS2480 but I have to say the JS100 is a spectacular guitar.
