No pictures yet, but they all look the same anyway, lol.
I've been through a bunch of axes and I was in the market again and I started just thinking about all the features I like and need in a guitar. I joined a new band where we are playing a loit of Dio era Sabbath,Children of the Sea, Sign of the Southern Cross etc. so a Piezo would just be great for that live. So Iw anted that. Iw anted a trem but didn't want fine tuners because its just a hassle especially playing live. But I did wnat locking tuners.
I love the look of ebony fretboards plus I have become really picky when it comes to the type and positioning of pickup selectors. The fender style blade is perfect for me. I added all of it up and it came down to the JPX, which Guitar Center by me had just gotten in stock. I conidered it an act of God so I left work early, played it at Guitar Center for about half an hour. I have been playing 9 gauge strings for a long time so the 10's took a little but of getting used to. But the guitar sounded and played great and I just love the look of the thing so I snapped it up.
I played it all night. The painted neck is still slick and super comfortable. The trem works great and stays in tune and the whole gutiar is just beautifully made. I look at it and I appreciate every aspect of it. I fdfind the pickups hard to describe, someitmes I would say they are high out put yet they are so clear that sclar runs almost sound single coil like. They are very cool. The louder you turn it up the better they sound. Which to me is a great sign.
Anyway those are my first impressions. Cany ayone else share their experiences with this great guitar?
Thanks,
Mike
