My new baby, a JP!

[Axistence]

DG + Rosewood FB = WOW MAMA! What an axe!

Are the newer EBMM SKB cases coming with red interior now?

 

[germangallardo]

Yes, that's the colour of the EBMM case. Its a dark red the flash makes it brighter.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Dont listen to them, I love the shoes!

 

[Plaschkes]

That's the interior color for the JP7, mine is that color too.

That is one fine guitar, man, DG is the color for my next JP for sure.

And the D-Sonic is a beast, eh?

 

[Jimothy JP7]

Wow that color is fantastic. Both on the guitar and inside the case. I can't wait to open mine to see some Egyptian Smoke!! I might have to get a 6 string in this color, it's amazing. Good call.

Sweet Guitar. I have always wanted a JP in Desert Gold but then the Dargies came out and now the LE2007's look so cool and noe the BFR's!!!! I dont know if I will ever get one in Desert Gold, very nice guitar though.

 

[THE_EB_KID]

Sweet guitar!!!!!!!

 

[slukather]

[Johnny Guitar]

Beautiful guitar man! I can just imagine how it sounds!

 

[germangallardo]

Thanks everyone for resurrecting this thread I am enjoying my instrument a lot, even the gf likes it

Im recording an album this guitar is great, very versatile I'm in love, and I want more

Just curious, what gauge strings are you all using for this guitar? I had 9's, decided to switch to 10's, liked the 10's but it changed the feel of the trem and string bending, and now I'm thinking 9's again. What would Petrucci do?

 

[germangallardo]

Im using 10's and considering going up to 11's! But that is just me, I really like the sound of some meaty strings while shredding or in some beautiful cleans, it really pushes up the tone.

 

[acwild]

I agree that the tones are much fuller and bell-like, but I'm looking for playability again. I wonder what a JP6 trem would feel like.

 

[Plaschkes]

Hybrids FTW!

 

[darren]

That's pretty hot... may i suggest the Chrome Knob Mod?

 

[73h Nils]

Hey, Darren, where'd you get those knobs? I forgot the thing you said a while ago when someone asked you. They look sick! I really wanna do it to mine, but I can't find knobs that suit the ergonomics of my guitar (ex: too tall, long, not smooth enough) and yours look great!

 

[darren]

I just picked them up at a local store. They're not bad... bigger than most chrome dome knobs, and the knurls on them are quite deep. I also had to get them drilled out to 1/4" to fit over the pot shafts, as they didn't have holes big enough.

Personally, i think Gotoh chrome knobs would look even better... they're slightly smaller and have more of a "dome" to the top. And Gotohs fit without modification.

 

[73h Nils]

Thanks, Darren! Oh, and sorry germangallardo for the hijack! Gorgeous colour, lol!

 

[germangallardo]

No problem mate. It is an amazing colour, and so is yours :cool

I'll consider the chrome knobs they do look really nice on your guitar darren.
