I was planning getting another guitar. Who's not? 
And I was about to pull the trigger on a Charvel... So guys, don't throw rocks at me, I know, I've been drifting away from Jackson guitars the last year... 
So I came across an interesting "used" deal. It's a MusicMan JP6 Mystic Dream color. The guitar was 1 year old, was played only at home and in very good condition. I got it at half the price of a brand new one and this was fitting my budget. I wished it had the piezo but it doesn't, anyway, to be worth using "live" I would have needed 2 amps so the option would have been cool only at home.
Hard to take decent pics of that changing color finish. It goes from green to purple with some dark red, even black, in between.
Neck is thin, not finished on the back. Whammy is smooth. Ergonomics of this guitar are awesome, very comfortable to play. This guitar was the easiest one to setup of my whole collection. Fit and finish is incredible. I have 2 top of the line Godin guitars but this one is a notch above regarding built quality. I don't know if it's me but you can feel it when you are playing it.

I'm rehearsing with it this coming Thursday so I'll be able to play it loud. I could only tried it a very low volume at home but both PUs seem good. I really dig the LiquiFire in the neck, not sure yet about the CrunchLab but it may wake up when high volume output.
We have a gig coming on Saturday and I'm tempted to use it as my main axe.
It's funny, it's my first "expensive" guitar and when I started playing it last evening, I was feeling like I was not worthy of owning such a guitar. :think: Anyway, makes me want to woodshed and bring my chops to a new level!
