Dargie Delight JP6, Autumn Redrise JP6, Blue Dawn JP6 (2001), Molten Gemstone JP7
The Blue Dawn was my first EB - When we first started selling EB in '04 we had a few JPs come through in the beginning. I loved the neck profile and how easily the guitar played, so I started searching for one in Blue Dawn because I'm a blue freak. That one turned up and I grabbed it! This is my go-to guitar for the studio.
The Molten Gemstone JP7 received a cracked body by UPS while on the way to a customer. We aren't talking about a stress crack, there were chunks of wood from the neck pocket floating around inside the case (which was destroyed), and the neck was all twisted up. I was able to glue the body back together, and by hammering on the truss rod I got the neck to somehow come back. I use this guitar when writing <gasp> 7-string parts!
Naturally, when the Dargies came out I had to grab a JP6. I used the excuse "I need this guitar to gig with" Yes, that currently has an old-style bridge pickup. The Dargie JP is my gigging guitar, with the following axe in the back-up slot.
The Redrise first came to my attention when the Dargies were in the store. I had a customer ask if I wanted to buy it. I didn't jump right on it because of the natural headstock, and I'm a matching type of guy. I decided to offer to take it as trade-in towards their Dargie, but I was too late - they had already sold the guitar. I finally tracked it down back in March and I didn't let it get away from me!
