Yes! I am finally a part of the EBMM family after many years of wanting one. Today I picked up a used JP16. Was hoping to get some feedback on its initial condition.
Body is near perfect, frets are perfect. The setup is a bit off. The truss rod needed some adjustments (bit too much bow) so I straightened it out. Now the action is about 5/64 Low E and 4/64 High E (12th fret) with stewmac gauge. How does the bridge angle/depth look to you guys?
I think the action can get lower, just not sure how right now.
Bit of wear on the Floyd components - one for the lock nut screws is kind of stripped compared to the others which are perfect.
Oddly, the guitar came with another Floyd rose (silver) and whammy bar (with some missing saddles)… not sure what is going on there?
Random thoughts:
The volume and tone adjustments are a bit hard to get used to. I knock them very easily - especially the tone knob - and you cannot immediately tell if its rolled off or not by looking at it. It moves *very* easily.
Thanks for any info! Stoked to have this beast!
