Magic guitars

[Sub1 Zero]

I have heard that the tone becomes brighter

Imagine the difference between your old MD and a BFR

Funny you mention that - I am sending the fully loaded Mystic Dream back and using the credit as a deposit on a BFR John Petrucci F-1 in Bahama Blue Burst

Very Expensive ... but you only live once eh?

I prefer the no frills JPs (only a matching headstock) and am awaiting my second one. It will be interesting to hear/feel the difference between the two. First and foremost, the d-sonic in the new one will set them apart, but I wonder which will have the magic despite the upgraded pickup... The older MD is magical enough. I can't imagine the new one being any better, but I'm sure it is possible!

I think you are going to love the tone of the D-Sonic. It's a big difference to my ear. Sounds more liquid and warm with a smooth sizzle ("brown" if you are an EVH nut).

Interesting comment. I still haven't fallen in love with the D-sonic, even though it's a nice pickup. Maybe it's because my old JP has so much mojo in it?


(Today I ordered a Steve's Special to possibly toss in the bridge slot of my Dargie JP)

+1...LOL

+1...LOL

Actually...I have one of those as well as a Peavy Wolfgang... the necks are too narrow and fat for my skinny long malformed fingers. I leave those hanging on the wall as ornaments because I could never sell them

Has anyone found that slight tonal shift between piezo & standard trem Lukes also?

The saddles are different. Personally I find the vintage saddles brighter than the piezo/solid saddles.

 

[Big Poppa]

why cant you sell the wolfgang....hehehehheheh

 

[Duolos]

I have 4 JP Fully loaded JP's and they all sound immensely different. So different that it is nie on one hand and so different that it is sad on the other. Build quality is great, all that stuff is fine but I have never had this much variance between the same model by my other guitars. Since I am a silver lining type guy, I will say I just got a lot more tones I wasn't expecting

 

[Warg Master]

Sold my wolfgang! heheheh


I like my luke ALOT

Jealous. I wish I could do that, but I've already waited all this time, I wouldn't be able to handle 8 or 9 more months haha.

It is called MOJO and only some guitars have it!!!! My trans orage SS has a half quilt half flame top...........but the feeling and the tone have the MOJO.

I Love both of my JP6'S...I have a Black sparkle with original pups and a Rad Red with the d sonic pup both are very different, but love every tone each one gives me...I would never get rid of these guitars ever....Like Rob said these EBMM guitars are magic, and i assume they get a touch of it right before they leave the factory.

Agreed, my JP7 is now like an extension of my body. As much as I want a BFR and a LE07 I wouldnt sell my guitar or use it as credit.

Dont get me wrong, I still have a JP6 in Mystic Dream! I just sent the fully loaded one back as credit for the BFR

I would never, ever sell the JP6 MD i have right now. It has the MOJO!!

 

[candid_x]

Yeah, there's no telling how mojo gets in a guitar. Cheap or expensive, there's just no telling. But I do think a player can put his own mojo in a guitar. To get really funky, maybe mojo is also a result of the particular builder, and where his head was at that day.

My blue silo has all kinds of mojo. Tone just blooms from it.

Guitars are made of wood.



Wood comes from Mother Nature.



And, in the words of Kramer, "Mother Nature's a MAD scientist, Jerry"

I am not completely hooked on the D-Sonic either... I think it is simply too fat for my liking. Going from a Breed to a Steve's Special on my 6-string beater actually gave it a new lease on life - maybe I just need to get the spandex out of the closet, wear my perm with pride and face the fact that I grew up in a time when Philip Michael Thomas and widdly guitars were actually hip

I have 5 Axi, and the red one is the Mojo axe. Its just sounds and plays perfectly for me. Its because its wood, and wood is all different!
