Wow! This thing plays like butter! So far I really like the tone of the new pickups, but I'll have to try a few different amps with them. My other JP has the original pre-Dsonic customs. And the feel of the ebony is good but different... I get the feeling that my fingers "stick" or hold more against the wood and so I find myself having to alter my fingering a bit already... This isn't a bad thing by any means, just a noticeable difference.

But the guitar came set up from the factory very very well... Nearly in tune, too! The action is pretty close to where I like it, and the intonation is spot on (better than I can even get it!). Great work EBMM!!!!

And thanks everyone here! This guitar is so rock n roll!

This thing sounds great! I think it's the new pickups, because it's certainly not my fingers...
