Hi Guys,

Is it easy to perform a harmonic squeal or dive bom with the JPs?

Hmmm....that's a little like asking if it's easy to drive 90mph in a Ferrari. :p

Yes, and yes....

Cool... any vids to show how its done? it was easy with the floyd cos the strings become flabby when i bring the bridge up with the locking nut. but it seems that with the JP, the relieve in tension goes all the way to the tuners making it hard to get it flabby.
Thank in advance

It's funny, on my JP6 I can depress the trem bar all the way to the strings, for the most part. On my BFR it goes so far and then the trem block hits the back of the trem route. If this is what's happening to you there isn't much that can be done. Or at least not much short of sending the guitar back. I don't dive bomb a whole lot so it doesn't really bother me.
