Hey guys. Last month I bought myself the Sterling by MusicMan JP70D Pearl White. All I can say that this is one awesome guitar! It's actually my first time playing a 7 string and it made adjusting with an extra string easy for me. The neck and the scooped forearm contour feels really comfortable and the pickups, as it is with my JP100D, sounds phenomenal with the low B string.

I also got JP's sign on it :D

Here's a 9 minute piece I wrote using this guitar which contains clean and heavy sounds +pics inside the video as well.

I may be an idiot, but I can't seem to find JP70D on sterlingbymusicman.com or musicians-friend.com, where'd you get yours?

EDIT: Although, the photo of the white JP70 on sterlingbymusicman.com has the rail on the CL bridge pickup... maybe they just don't list the CL/LF in the specs? You only get them on the white model? ??? haha

I'm only curious because I'd love a JP70 with DiMarzios.

EDIT 2: After some research, apparently this JP70D is limited edition, became available around February of this year and there were only 60 OF THEM MADE!!! Extremely jealous right now.

Yes, that is correct! They were offered to dealers at the NAMM Show in January and sold out on the first day.

Thanks for listening guys! Having an extra string really sparked ALOT of ideas. I could've made the song 10++ minutes long but my computer was lagging alot :p

These two guitars (JP100D & JP70D) are seriously worth the money, they both even cost the same! Really gotta hand it to Sterling for making cheap but awesome guitars.

Great song, and glad that you are digging that very Limited Edition JP70D!

Thanks Brian! The moment you guys posted the guitar on facebook I immediately told Jack Gretz from Northeast Music Center "I gotta have that guitar!". At the time I saw a video of you saying it has only 60 units, Jack said he already had 2 units ordered. Had my guitar within a month. Great guy to deal with!

But may I ask what's the story behind the JP signature at the back? It was a real surprise :p

Good job man! Nice song and Axe!

Thanks man!
