Okay, we all have guitars that we'd always wanted to play. Those ones that were just "omg, I want one so bad" etc. You do research into every aspect. Price, cosmetic options and all that other stuff.
I, just today, had my first opportunity to play one of such guitars. I've always loved everything about them but I'd never actually played one. Not an EBMM, mind you. So I get it from the back shelf behind the registers (expensive, but not as expensive as I expected), and take it over to the Mesa section of the store, because those are what I'm familiar with.
Already, when I sit down with it... There's something wrong
. The neck feels sticky, because of the finish I'm not used to, the action's too high (adjustable, but still) and overall, it feels so light I just get the impression it's not built all that well, even though I'm sure it is.
I plug it in, go through all the pickup combinations, etc. Nothing. No "spark". I just don't feel this guitar. Now, it's akin to seeing a beautiful girl at school or whatever and talking to her the first time and having her speak to you in an alarmingly manly and gruff voice (Rough assumption).
I had my JP7 with me at the time, because I was there mainly for amps. I take it out of the case. It just fits too well. Everywhere out there, there are people loyal to other companies for different reasons. I've gotta say; EBMM is definitely for me. I have still yet to find a rival in terms of just all the things I am taking for granted from my JP models. The finish, the build quality, the NECK, the balance, the tone. Everything.
And that's my 2 cents.
