School me on JP6

[CarbonTim27]

Hey there from the other side of the Great White!

I've been through the Ibanez kick and came out on the other side with my JP. I had an Ibanez JS100, pined a lot for a JS1000 or higher, but eventually discovered EBMM and ordered one custom from the factory.

I can tell you; I've played JS1000 guitars and I found the neck didn't feel as natural or comfy in my hands. I would think that Long & McQuade would stock at least one of the JP guitars, but if they don't you can always bug them enough to bring one in to try out. I hear they have a really good trade-in program.

:facepalm: Vancouver L&M does not have a JP6 in stock, what a shame.
I often heard people from the web saying that music stores will rip you off if you trade in your instrument.
I think I have to put in quite a lot of cash if I trade in with them

Think of this, if you order new JP6 now you have 3-4 months time to sell those guitars, this way you might more money out of them. I did this with my tele and 5-string bass...

This is true...and L&M don't require that you pay off ALL of the guitar up front.
All it would take is to ask the rep "if I traded in such and such toward such and such" you'd get a quote on what they would pay you. It's a starting point anyway. I know the L&M here is really good about trading instruments in, they pay a fair price, but generally lower than the market would justify.

The JP is also a little small (about 2 inches vertically smaller than my 59' Gibson) so if you're above 6 feet tall or so it might feel a little uncomfortable. I can't really say that with any certainty since I'm only 5 '8.

I'm like 5'7 so I bet it's a perfect size for me

I'm over 6 feet and the guitar is fine. People do comment that it looks like a small guitar though. Makes me look way bigger on stage hahahahahaha.

Comparing a JP6 to a JS1000 is like comparing apples to oranges. They're different instruments designed for different guitarists who have different preferences.

You'd most certainly have to play them to know which you prefer.

I stick to this opinion.
