Finally got my pair of Balls (lol) JP7 content

[djpharoah]

Finally finished setting up my 2nd JP7 and thus I now have a pair of Balls :devilgrin

Here are the pics. It's extremely hard to capture the Mystic Dream finish but you can see it somewhat transition in the pics.

The first one I got is an earlier run of Carbon Blue Pearl that's a case queen. It's currently setup with Daddarios 10-46+62 and has a custom pair of Dimarzio PAF Pro 7s (from an LACS Ibby). This is my blues, soft/hard rock guitar due to the pickups being somewhat medium output. This can also do metal but it just sings with blues and instrumental soloing.

The second one is a slightly newer Mystic Dream that's also a case queen. It's running Daddario 10-46+60 and has an EVO7 bridge and the stock Custom Neck pickup. This is my metal prog machine or anything in between. The neck pickup is still a bit weird for me and I might switch it out for a blaze neck.

Enjoy and sorry about the pun title.

Did you swap out the bridge pickup for an EVO? Just wondering because having such a crazy high-output pickup in the bridge will offset the medium stock neck humbucker the JP has. I'd suggest the new Liquifire, as I believe it is considered high output, as well, so it would be a better match.

Also, string gauges being 10s with low 62s and a 60? Both for standard tunings with low B?

Yup - the bridge is an EVO7. The stock neck pickup isn't to my liking but I might get a liquifire and drop it in there.

The strings are 10-46+60/62 in standard with a low B.

Okay cool. Thanks. Carbon Blue Pearl is an under appreciated gem.

those PAFs sound awesome (by your description i mean) thats the kind of thing i should try in my one. you say theyre custom though, are they similar to the PAF7s on the dimarzio website?

They are totally different from the PAF7s. These sound very very close to their PAF Pros 6 string version which a lot of people use in their town (Satriani, gilbert, balducci etc).

Thanks guys. I think I'm gonna sell both the pickups in the Mystic Dream and drop in a set of Liquifire/Crunchlab pickups.
