From the beginning on, there are two finishes available: Black Pearl (BP) and Burnt Transparent Blue (BTB, also known as Transparent Blue in the US). Initially both finishes were released in all areas. Later on the BP became an USA exclusive finish for the JS1000 and the BTB an Europe / Japan exclusive. Outside the US another BP colored JS was issued: the JS900. In 1997, the JS1000 didn't appear in the US catalog. In 1998 the White finish was added to the lineup in all areas. With the introduction of the Edge Pro in 2003, this finish disappeared again. From 2008 and on, the BTB was phased out. As of 2010, the JS1000 is only available in BP.
