Considering a JP6, need information

[CFA]

I'm considering getting myself a JP6 or maybe a JP7 as soon as I save up enough money again.
But first I need to know a bit more about it. Are there any major issues with them? Sort of like the quiet G-string on the Stingrays? If there are are these problems common, or one in a million type things? Is there anything I should know about it before I consider it?
Thanks in advance.

All I've heard are great things about the JP. The guitar seems to be as close to perfection as it could be IMHO. Also consider this, who is the EBMM JP (guitar) made for?

I have a JP 7, fully loaded. It's the best guitar I've ever played!
No issues but affording another!
Buy it, but try first - the neck is thin & fast & not to everyone's taste.

Well, as an owner of JP6, all I can tell you is that this guitar has no issues at all. Definately best guitar I've ever played. And it's definately worth saving money. Good luck on it!

best,
Mike

I've had four of them at one time - 3 standards, one BFR. I've had a '89 777 Ibanez Jem, too, so I know what a shredder/technical guitar is The JP IS the real deal.

If You are looking for a great "wide neck" guitar, look no further. It's all there, the craftmanship and the necks are the best out there, the piezo sounds great, the tremolo is a bliss. And that deep, cultivated groooowwwwllll ... just wow.

the only thing you need to know is it's perfection. sell all your worldly posessions and get one, you won't regret it, it really is that good.

On a serious note, the JP6 is the only guitar i've ever bought (and i currently own 30 guitars) that i've never had to do anything to, other than put a little bit of foam underneath the bridge pickup as it was wobbling around a bit. Set up was perfect, insanely low action, neck perfect and true (and i might add it has one of the finest feeling necks out there. play something you rate, then play the JP, and go back to the other instrument, you'll feel the diference) both pickups perfectly balanced, and that tremolo... the only non locking system out there that really can take all the abuse you can throw at it and still stays in tune
