Yeah that was my first thought too... I'm a graphic design major so I can't help but see these kinds of things.

Something like a more neutral colored background and JP wearing a lighter shirt would've helped focus on the guitar, because from the small picture and low lighting, you can't really see all the detail on the JP that makes it look different and special.

And we need some sound clips of this bad boy.

The interview was very neat to listen to though, extremely informative.

I had no idea just how much the 25th influenced some of the changes in his guitar.

**Sweat** · 02-15-2010, 03:07 PM

That is very well done, and very informative and JP is stealth so the shirt, background, etc. were perfect

Fantastic info on the influences that went into that guitar.

When the light catches it, it really does look look awesome.

Love that.

Great... Now what the hell am I supposed to do.

Interesting points to me:

- the lead in sound clip is off Once in a LiveTime which was during his Ibanez years...
- he says he still plays the original basswood JP (obviously not live)
- the video's JPX logo is slightly different than the web site's JPX logo
- JP motions that the 6 (?) chambers are only above the pups and not on the lower/controls side of the body

I didn't notice the Once in a Lifetime thing but I did notice the rest.

In particular, the fact that he never seems to play his original JP turns me off a bit to the guitar. I want (and I'm buying) a JP in the next 2 months. I just cant decide which one and the fact that he never plays the original one has made my decision harder considering that is the one I like the most (unfinished neck).

Why would JP's personal preferences affect your own?

Trust your ears and hands when buying any guitar... it's about what YOU want, and what YOU want shouldn't be based on what other people like.

+1. Thats always the biggest thing for me when buying a guitar. See how it feels in your hands, and how it sounds when you're playing it. If you had the same gear as JP down to the exact rig, you still wouldn't sound like JP. Everyone's hands are different, so don't let what an artist is playing affect your own judgement of the instrument you want. If you want the standard JP with the unfinished neck, go for it.

For those who can't see it well, you can put it on the highest quality and enlarge the screen, helps a lot. To change the quality, I think you have to click on the title of the video to go to the actual Youtube video, and then select it near the bottom of the screen.
