Presenting....my new EBMM JP12-7 with a full rosewood neck! I'll talk a little bit and then get on to the pics :cool:

I've had this for about a week now, and I'm still blown away by it. I was lucky enough to sell my JPXI-7 just in the nick of time to pick up this rosewood spot about a month ago, and boy am I glad I did. The Cherry Sugar finish with the Rosewood neck/fretboard is the perfect combination in my eyes. The quality is on par with every other EBMM I've owned (phenomenal), but the rosewood neck puts it in a league of it's own. This thing resonates like crazy, and plays better than pretty much every other guitar I've owned. I've always loved the finished necks on the BFR JP's, but this thing makes me never want to go back ;) It's buttery smooth, and I love the feel of the open pores. On top of that, it has some of the nicest light/dark grain I've seen on these rosewood necks :eek:

Tonally, it is a bit warmer than my JPXI was, and is quite a bit snappier. I was planning of swapping out the bridge pickup for an Illuminator, but surprisingly I really like the Crunch Lab in basswood. It'll stay....for now ;) I haven't been able to stop playing it since UPS dropped it off.

Now to the pics!







^My best attempts to capture the finish lol









Thanks for looking guys! :)

Perfect color combo.

Woof! Great looking axe!

Enjoy it! I haven't played another guitar (my Ibanez) since I got my JP12 over a year ago.

Thanks guys! I'm in love with this thing so far :) Out of all the JPs I've had, the 12 is by far my favorite! And I agree, this is the perfect color combo with this sweet, sweet Rosewood! :D I still kinda miss the Barolo finish of my old JPX-7, but the Cherry Sugar is a close 2nd.
