Personal Thoughts
Alright, so this one’s a bit special. The Lambo Pearl finish is absolutely unreal in person—it’s got that deep, liquid-like glow that shifts beautifully depending on the light. It’s inspired by the Lamborghini Huracán, and honestly, it looks just as fast. This is one of only five made for The Axe Palace, so it’s got that extra bit of exclusivity that makes it feel like a proper gem.
The maple neck and maple board give it an extra snap and brightness that really make the notes pop. The DiMarzio Rainmaker and Dreamcatcher pickups hit that sweet spot between warmth and aggression, perfect for both soaring leads and thick rhythm tones. And of course, the Floyd Rose Pro trem keeps things locked in no matter how much you go to town with it.
 
Condition Report
This one’s in mint condition, barely a mark on it. The Lambo Pearl finish is still as rich and deep as the day it left the factory, and everything—frets, hardware, electronics—is spot on.
 
Final Thoughts
If you’re into modern shred machines but still want something with a bit of flair, this JP16-6 ticks all the boxes. It’s fast, lightweight, and effortlessly smooth to play, and that finish… just wow. If I didn’t know better, I’d be keeping this one for myself.
