Gas got the better of my credit card.....

[coloradoman25]

I couldnt help myself. I had put off trying one of these for years now because I just knew what would happen. Then yesterday the wife said take an easy day go out and relax....so I happen to find myself at Sam Ash and GC....

I have a few good connections at the store so we settled on a price and I got one of these and another model on order. This is what I get for having an 18 month no interest card. I think I can manage to pay em off and if not ill move one of em.

If you havent played one they arent the "coolest" body shape but f-me the sound is unreal. The piezo blows the one in my prestige outta the fuckin water and leaves it as dry as an old bags snatch. It isnt even a comparison and the prestige sounds good. I am just blown away by this thing.

I present the JP6 in Sky Blue

Tim now you know why scary is up

Now I see why.

Pretty color and I like the guitars just fine but the necks kill my hands.

[coloradoman25]

what dont ya like on the neck stray?

[warlok]

Holy shit.. That's pricey for those features. But I am kinda dying to try a Crunch Lab/Liquifire. That's what's in there right??

[coloradoman25]

FWIW I didnt pay that.

The CL/LF combo is phenomenal IN THE RIGHT GUITARS. I have tried it in a few different ones. Its great in my RGT prestige and in this and was also really nice in my import RGT42. I put it into a Jackson import firebird I had and it sounded like ass.

As for the price of the MM from what I have seen its a love hate relationship for people. For me it just fits like a glove. I just got done playing for a while and its really not as uncomfortable as my jacksons to play with my f'd up nerve issues. All I can say is at the moment if I could only pick one axe for the rest of my days itd be this one.

[warlok]

What a coincidence.. It's one of my RGT42's that I want the CL/LF for. Now I want them even more!! lol

[watson503]

Congratulations, that is a beautiful guitar! I try to stay away from things like that when I see them at the store 'cause I already know what'll happen...

[coloradoman25]

Watson thats what I should have done but I honestly have not been this inspired with an axe in a long while. Im like a little kid cant wait to get home and play later right now LOL

Really? I played Jems for 20 years before I got my JP and I had no trouble at all. And I've got short fingers too! Wang works well on them too. Ahhhh NO FINE TUNERS! Now if they'd make them so you could cut the balls off like a Floyd, they'd be perfect!

[roodyrocker]

These EBMM guitars are fantastic! I have an earlier JP6 in Mystic Dream. The blue one you picked is gorgeous too! Congrats!

[toejam]

That really is gorgeous! Congrats. I've always wanted to try one of those, especially a 7-string since that's what I mainly play nowadays.
