EBMM JP7 good for a first 7?

[SpiritCrusher86]

I love the JP6 version, but i've never played the 7. how does it compare? would it be good for a first 7? I mean, if i don't like it, I could always resell it. How much do they typically go for used (i don't really need the piezo)?

I'm getting one as my first 7! I'm not too sure on US prices though so I cant really help with that.

It has one of the most playable necks i've ever laid hands on. I'd say it would make a perfect first 7.

What is the Australian price/where are you ordering one from dude? I'd love to pick one up.

I'm not sure, probably. I ordered mine from here;
Guitar Planet - Australian Music Man Dealer
They have great prices, I've heard a few people say they're the best place to order EBMM from.
EDIT: Prices depend on what you want, email Colin at the site I linked and he'll let you know.

It was my first 7, and I ain't looking back. It's a superb instrument. If I had to have only 1 guitar it would be my JP7, with the piezos and pickup combination it is supremely versatile and plays like a dream.

dude if its your first it will spoil you for most other production 7 strings

I can attest to that, pretty much spoiled me from every guitar I've touched since I got mine.

It's such a great 7, you will never want another 7... except you know, another EBMM.

 

[mrhankey87]

It will be awful as a first 7 because everything else you'll play in the future will feel like crap in comparison

 

[Jbryant95]

I think it's a great first seven. It was my first seven, but it does make other guitars feel like crap in comparison.

davis music in footscray stocks them, but they definitely wont carry a JP7.
colin at guitarplanet.com.au is probably youre best bet. he can order anything you want and will usually give you a cheaper price than other stores (most music stores around melbourne stock EBMM basses, so as such they can specially order a guitar for you, but will charge you several body parts)

other than that its ebay....

musicman are hard to grab in australia but theyre so worth it

This is like asking if a Aston Martin would make a good first car.

I would kill for a JP7!

Oh, get the piezo if you can, I mean It really is very nice to have; plus, you get the bonus of having output jacks at the bottom instead of the side, which is nice.

I was thinking about getting a JP7 to replace my UV777BK. I like the UV and all, plays great, but the thought of having a decked out JP7 with piezo just seems irresistible! Would you JP7 players recommend the switch?
