Can anyone explain how the Eric Johnson model serial numbers were used and why?

1. The new rosewood models range anywhere from the 4,000's to 13,000,'s yet they just became available. You can see the same model with way different serial numbers on the Wildwood Guitars site (google it).
I just got mine and it is in the 12,000's.

2. Also, what if any changes took place with the original 2005 EJ serial numbers? I read that some have a gap between the initials and the number and some do not. I have a chance to buy one with a number lower than 60 but trying to find out if was really part of the first 100 made.
THANKS!!

I understand your concern.From what I've seen, they skip some numbers and then later fill them in, but I've never seen them do it in the low no. range especially under 100.You are probably safe with 60 however on ebay you see them selling every part individually now.The neck plate could be 2005 but not the rest of the guitar.Ask the seller for the original receipt.If thats dosen't work.the best way I know is to remove the neck and check the stamped date,this is a known method stores use when people bring em in to validate em. Ask the store or seller to do that for you then you'll know for sure,hope this helps.
