New EBMM player picking up a pair of JPX sisters

[Jack Secret]

Actually, one last thing to do. How does one tighten the whammy bar on this JP bridge? Right now it's flying loose VH style.

EDIT: Never mind. Found out what to do. Had to hunt down an allen key. Alas, my key set has been absconded with and must get a new set.

When you get the set you will want to use the 1.5mm wrench!

Well, the JPX7 arrived and this one made me laugh. Perfect action and arrived in tune....but the store must have had the guitar in the case for quite a while because the g, b, and high e were BLACK. Pics tomorrow.

Jack,

Welcome to the Forum. You started right off with a super nice pair of guitars! Way to go!!

My local GC has had a lot of problems with not enough humidity and frets popping on most of the guitars (all makes). I am sure, when EBMM Petrucci items leave SLO, they are built for speed and ready to go.

Enjoy your new guitars! I'll be posting pics of my new Axis tonight when I get home.

Here the hell are the pictures!!

JPX6 - She's been a little finicky setting up but all is good now

JPX7 - This one was perfect out of the case aside from the stinky old dirty strings so I put on some nice shiny Slinky 10's (I'm gonna give them a shot after being a D'Addario user for 25 years...If I can branch away from Ibanez guitars, I can try different strings as well)

Things EBMM players know that Ibanez players may not. 1. Barolo is difficult to photograph.
