Both guitarts are great. But I'll tell what I like and don't like about each. The JEM's have the prefered neck for me (flat & fast). But the JEM555 has the "Lo TRS II" bridge. This bridge has a wide spread flaw, the tremelo arm has a nut that screws onto the bridge, the threads on this nut usually always get striped, this makes it difficult to get the arm on or off (if at all). The best fix for this problem is to replace the bridge with the LO TRS(original - $250.00). You can not put the "Lo Pro Edge" on the JEM555. The JS1000 has the "Lo Pro Edge" tremelo which is a much better bridge. But the JS1000 has only two humbucker pickups. The dual humbuckers may be just fine for your taste but I prefer the H-S-H pickup configuration that the JEM's have because you can get a more variety of sounds (tones).
