    I love the all around quality on my JPM. The bridge is the best floating bridge to me, period. Locking tuners are lovely as well, no silly nut locks.

    The neck is great, fast! And well, get the piezo... TOTALLY recommended

    Just got my first JP6, best darn guitar I've ever had! So versatile, not just for heavy rock. Agree with previous post, love the trem on this guitar. You don't need a locking nut to stay in tune. Nothing bad to say at all, except that I only have one! Get one for yourself, you will be thanking yourself the moment you open the case.

    The guitar is just extremely comfortable to play and it sounds great. I can't say enough positive things about the tremolo -- it just works great. It stays in tune and there is no messing with locking nuts and fine tuners.

    Agreed with the others - bought mine a few months ago after bonding with quickly in the store. It is very comfy, great neck and sounds killer

    it feels better than any other guitar ive ever touched with the exception of some overpriced botique jazz. its not that those guitars are better but these guitars are on a level where it comes down to preference. guitars dont get better than this. im not even a fan of the tone of the jp6 and its my go to axe just because it feels so good to play. i need a bfr for reals

    The JP6 is a great guitar. Out of the box it has the best feel of any guitar I've ever owned. I like mine with piezo, matching headstock, and JP inlays (fully loaded).

    Also, I'll echo what others have said. The tremolo is the best out there, and it's nice not to be messing with a locking nut or fine tuners. The locking tuners make string changes a breeze.

    I was after a new guitar a few months ago and tried a shed load of different guitars out. After picking up a JP6, everything else I tried just didn't sit well with me, it truly is the most ergonomically designed guitar i've ever played! Great necks and, as already mentioned, the sweetest floating trem around!
