JP7 Fixed Bridge?

[dave1812]

I really love EBMM and the JP Guitars.
But I'm thinking about getting another 7 String, but I'd prefer something like the Hipshot Fixed Bridge.
The JP16 with a fixed Bridge would be ideal!
Is there any chance we might see this in the Future? Or should I just get another Brand Guitar?

It all depends on what JP wants. If he ever fancies that then you'll see it.

I highly doubt it. You could always put a tremol-no on it.

I've been thinking about a Tremol-No. But I'd prefer a Guitar without double Locking Trem, and the other Models don't come with Roasted Maple, Ebony Neck and Black Hardware.
I could close the Tremcavity, get the Guitar refinished and add the Hipshot Bridge

I use this
Tremolo Stopper | Neck Check Guitar Repair Tools, Luthier Tools Supplies
on my Majesties, JP6 and JP6 BFR. Springs tightened so that the trem blocked in upwards direction, but allowed to down. They feel just like my Axes and Silos which have the vintage trem resting on the top of the body. Does require minor drilling (2 screw holes), but you can convert back to full-floating with an hex wrench.

I cut out a small wood shim and stuck that between the body & trem block. Tightened up the springs and removed the bar. Now you have a fixed bridge guitar.

Yep, this is the way to go if you want it to be like a fixed bridge. I've done this to a couple guitars with knock-off Floyds that didn't want to return to the same spot all the time.

I did that with my PRS... I just wish they had a JP Model like the JP16 with a longer Scale Length and a String Thru Fixed Bridge.
If the JP Baritone didn't have a painted Neck I would've bought one, but now they're discontinued anyways.

Don't mod your JP! It will devalue it!
I own several JP7s all with a Tremol-no and it works just fine!
