Welcome to the family Mr JP6

[Exojam]

Well it has finally arrived, the long (about 7 months) my JP 6 is over.

I have only had time to take it out of the case, which is very nice by the way and put a strap on it.

The looks of the build look absolutely fantastic, feels nice and lite and the feel seems very good. Cannot wait to get some time with it.

Congrats!

Why such a long wait?
Custom built?

Very nice guitar.

With this manufacture they are made when the order comes in which another member here verified over at a site that I believe is a Music Man/Ernie Ball place.

So when my order went to them I was last in line at that time, as people’s guitars were made who were in front of me I kept moving up in the line until it was time for mine to be built. It is a complete stock guitar, no changes were requested from me.

Sweet! But why the twin toggles? Inquiring minds want to know.

Pickup settings.

Hopefully you can zoom in on the attachment.

Sorry they are rotated.

That is one sleek looking guitar and the upper fret access on that axe seems to be ultra-functional.

The switch by the volume knobs is a 3-way pickup toggle, while the switch on the upper bout is for magnetic / piezo / both.

Got some fret buzz on the low E string.

I am not familiar with this setup so I will have to do some research on it.

Best neck of any guitar I have ever had. Not that I have had a lot it man that thing is nice.

A common issue - try raising the action a bit. If that doesn't work, you might need some spot fret leveling. You could get a small flat metal ruler if you have one and rock it gently between 3 frets at a time up and down the fretboard to see if one is higher than the others. If so, take it to a tech.

Well, that is BS. Expensive guitar like that needs a fret level? Like buying a Mercedes and it only has 3 tires. Hope it works out and only needs a truss rod turn

Re: Welcome to the family Mr JP6

It was just the action. And I love the way the truss rod is adjustable on that model.

And I would have lost it if I waited that long at that cost for a guitar that needed a fret job.

Re: Welcome to the family Mr JP6

Fantastic guitars! Congrats.

And when I worked at the store, ordering in ayn EB/MM guitars / Bases took anywhere from 4-12 months.

Re: Welcome to the family Mr JP6

Not my thing but it is an absolutely amazing guitar. Max out the fun with it mate.

Re: Welcome to the family Mr JP6

Awesome purchase! Killer guitars through and through. I'm sure you'll be happy to spend a lifetime with it!

P.S. - Isn't that technically a JPXI, not a "JP6"?

 

[Exojam]

Re: Welcome to the family Mr JP6

Well I lower the action since I was hoping after the guitar was in the house and acclimated my original raising of it to get rid of the fret buzz would not be necessary but I was wrong. Lowered the action and the buzz was back.

I am running it to a pro shop for a look over and setup. I am not messing with a brand new guitar that cost this much. I have already communicated with Sweetwater about this and they will be doing right by me.

Very surprised on this issue coming from this manufacturer as I heard they are a company that this stuff does not happen to on new guitars but there is always that one.

Just stuff happens and I am not pissed since it is only a guitar and I have more important things to get get pissed about.

Re: Welcome to the family Mr JP6

Congrats on the new guitar. Not a fan of the EB/MM only because they feel tiny on me, but I appreciate the quality they are.

Now next time though, scoop the cat box before taking picts in front of it.

Re: Welcome to the family Mr JP6

That has to be one of the best replies I have ever received!!!!!!

My apologies there is cat **** in the picture but at least I did not include the cat. There are enough cat pictures and videos on the web of cats so I thought I would give another point of view of “the cat”.
