So I've Been Favoring My JP6 So Much, Now My Other Guitar Just Doesn't Feel Right...

[Josh O]

I've been through many brands over my almost 10 years of destroying music on guitars and couldn't truly "bond" with many. One brand I was hooked on for awhile was Terry McInturff, Terry makes great guitars and I owned six of them at one point, different models and now I'm down to just one, my Taurus Standard which is Terry's singlecut Les Paul style guitar. Have had it since 2001 and being a stop tail, has been my heavy string gauge multiple tuning beast. Loved the '57 neck carve, loved the LP feel although it's not 24.75" scale.

In walks my JP6 last April, I have to say that my Taurus has not seen much play time and has been hanging on my wall with no pickups in it for the past 7 months awaiting it's rewound Wolfetone pickups (too lazy to put the stock pickups in!!!).

So tonight, I'm fitting up my new strap I bought to my JP6, got everything where I like it so I switch over to the Taurus to see how it fits up. The guitar just feels so foreign to me now. I'm so used to every nuance with the JP6, the switch placement, the neck, the arm contour in the body that I'm just not digging my Taurus at all

Do I just need to sit down and spend some quality time with my Taurus or am I just fully integrated into my JP6 and the only answer is another JP6 with maybe some PAFish type pickups to give it a different flavor??

Huh? There are other guitars out there aside from Music Man guitars?

Seriously, though, the JP6 is a really comfortable guitar for me. I personally can't imagine trying to play an LP-style guitar. Recently, I tried a friend's. I really didn't like it. The ergonomics of an LP are just awful for me.

The feel of EBMMs is all I desire in the guitar world. I can't imagine buying anything else right now.

i hung onto my "other" guitars for about 2 years, then just had to get rid of them to clear space for more balls, and the fact that i just wasnt playing them anymore,why would i when i have the best!!!!!

i tried playing my LP today and it was a no-go as well. i grabbed my luke 2 minutes later and it felt so comfortable

I have a mid 90's F3nder that does nothing but sit in a case in my closet.

I'm going to eventually sell it for a little extra beer money...

As I posted in another thread, my Les Paul only stays because I love looking at the sunburst maple top so much.

Don't play the beast anymore though.

I have 5 JPs now for that.

I 've played a couple of dozen Gibson LPs over the last few years....I just don't get it...not one of them has felt "right" to me. I know they are a rock icon and wound up through a Marshall the tone is amazing.....but how does anyone play one for more than ten minutes??
Balls for me ;-)!!

I recently got rid of my P@rker Fly Deluxe. Although it was a very unique, well made guitar with lots of cool innovations, it didn't hold a candle to the feel, sound and inspiration I get from EBMM guitars. This is my opinion only. I've all ready bought another Ball with the money I got from the P@rker sale...
