I can finally say that my '94 Std. has the JP wiring mod (with a set of nickel SD '59s). It took a while to get done (mostly due to using the wrong diagram). Thanks to Gibson Customer Service and a the help of a few people on this board (Robert Sherman, Deaf Eddie et al), it's now done. It helps to: a) use the right diagram; and b) use the right wire color code!
Now that it's done, I love it. There's a whole bunch of neat new tones, but the traditional 3 settings are still there - but IMO better due to the '59s. I got together with some friends to play last week, and the new selections came in handy. The single coil sounds aren't Strat-like or Tele-like, but they come in handy for playing cleaner rhythm parts. The series single coil tone is real cool because it yields a cutting sound, but with humbucker volume. The jury is still out on the out of phase sounds, but it's only been a few days!
