Oh come on, Gearzilla - just post. It's OK to not like a guitar. Just think of the PMs you'll save! :)

Okay, i think you're correct. 300 pm's might be too much work....This is basically the pm I shared.

I still think the JP I received is really awesome, and was one of the best guitars I've seen straight from the factory. I was originally trying to get down to one electric, and thought maybe the JP could do it. I've got a great Strat that's super resonant and decided to keep it. So i gave up on the concept of having only one electric, and decided to pick up an ES 335 to go with the Fender because I wanted something a little fuller to complement it. I'm still interested in a version of the Petrucci line up, but I think for my needs I would probably be better off going with a 7 string version with a rosewood or ebony board-- especially since I'm going to have a couple of classic six strings about.

The JP 15 is a really articulate guitar, and for me the maple neck was a little more percussive than I expected compared to a few of the other JP models I had tried. It's all relative, and think if I had unlimited funds I probably would have kept it around because it is a fine guitar overall. So...that's the lowdown.

I appreciate Gearzilla's honesty. And, what he posted is exactly what he sent me.

I personally recommended the JP12-7 to him, and am happy to help him in any future purchase (via public or pm).

After the third pm with the same basic content with some minor variations the public post was definitely going to be a time saver. It was definitely a challenging decision to let go of the guitar, and I'm confident that a 7 string JP will be a good addition not too far down the line for me. :)
