Initial REVIEW...New EBMM JP6 Owner!!! ...
Hi there!
I have been a Fan of Petrucci's playing for years and was always impressed by the EBMM JP6. Recently I decided to try and buy a JP6. I had always tried to play one, but I never could find one in stores. Since I was planning to sell 4 guitars to fund the JP6, I really wanted to play one first.
Then I found the Ernie Ball site and I was able to use its Deal Finder feature. The locater directed me to a Fantastic Music Store, Huber and Breese (lived close and didn't even know about it!). I went in and saw the Perl Redburst JP6 with Piezo and inlays hanging on the wall (they also had a mystic dream). I tried it out and was immediately impressed.
So the mission had begun, sell my 4 other guitars (no worries, I still have my core 3). After about a week, I sold the first 2 and went to put the JP6 on Layaway (the whole drive there I was convinced that it had already been sold... but thank goodness it wasn't!). Coincidently the day I put it on layaway I went to the Dream Theater concert (my first) and got to see the BFR in action...
2 Sold guitars later, I walked out of Huber and Breese with my new JP6, my first EBMM.
My first impression is that I am totally impressed with the build quality. The hardware seems to be first rate and the sound is great. The neck is really nice... I had an Ibanez, but I never liked the necks that much. This neck is fast but also a bit more rounded. I am playing with it during my gig this evening.
I saw that sometime one can get a DOB for their guitar, so I'll give it a shot!
