Yeah man. I'm pretty excited about it. Originally I was gonna order a solar burst JP7 through Dubaldo until I saw your thread about yours and decided against it.
So I picked up a JP12-7 from sweetwater. It should be here Wednesday.

I'll be joining the club sometime next week! I've been GASing for a JP7 for almost 2 years now, so this is a dream come true for me. So happy to be adding this to my arsenal.

Well sadly it might be a while longer till I join the club. FedEx trashed my JP12-7. I guess the dropped it pretty damn hard in shipping. It looks like the neck slammed into the neck brace in the case and left a good size dent in the neck. Not cool at all. I'm pretty disappointed about it.
Thankfully the guys down at Sweetwater are fantastic to work with. I gave John (my sales rep) a call and worked things out. Probably ship back the guitar tomorrow. The shitty thing is that Sweetwater won't have another JP12-7 in stock till the end of June. So instead I'm talks with John about ordering one of my dream guitars. A Koa JP7.
If anyone knows me kinda well (Like Jonathan and Chuck) they'll know that I have the worst luck with MM necks.
Not much else but to laugh about it.

Christ, are you serious man?! There's some serious savages at Fedex, it's always rattling shipping gear through anyone but what risky business. It really sucks to hear that, and yeah your luck with these things hasn't been good in the past. But you must go through with a Koa JP7 if you can

Hwat you call me?
I have a question:
When I ordered my unloaded JP7 from Drum City Guitar Land (awesome company btdubs), my quoted price was far less than from what similar spec'd JP7s were going for new, & hell mine was straight from the factory, which was part of the reason why I finally pulled the trigger on one.
Now onto the question:
Did any of you guys here have the same thing happen to you? That the price you were paying for making an order through a dealer was less than a similar guitar through retail?
Reason I ask is because I caught the bug and want another one, particular a BFR or a rosewood neck
And also I'm having the same problem another member has on here as to where whenever I use the trem (whether it be a flutter or mild dive-bomb) my 7th string goes sharp. I've stretched the string plenty of times, but to no avail. Can it be a nut issue or trem issue? It has a 10-56 set, which I do not think is the stock strings since DCGL changed them to my preference.

Most places give you a better price for ordering one, it's not that much cheaper but it is cheaper. Depending on the dealer as well you may get a better price than another.
Sadly you can't order a Rosewood Neck anymore, you can only buy whatever a dealer has available at the moment. Catch one before they're gone forever
And that's a nut problem, get it filed for the string gauge you had installed on it by DCGL, lube it up and it should fix the problem.

Starting to go into withdrawal without my JP7 since moving..should be having it shipped down to me pretty soon.
But in other news, just got a job working at a local guitar center (Gross, I know, but a job is a job).
We get things at cost, and there is a BEAUTIFUL Koa top that we have.
I'm just curious, if ANY of you know what the mark up on EBMM guitars is?
I figure the list price is $3,499. GC might get it for around $2,400-$2,800?

You can always check
you do work there I would be tempted to work there for the great prices of getting gear, but then I'd be working at Guitar Center.

Haven't officially begun yet. Today I filled out the paperwork and got a tour, etc. That's going to be one of the first things I check lol..but I'm slightly impatient and kind of curious!
I used to work at a smaller shop for 2 years, so it'll be weird working at the Bain of all music stores (bane..bain. lol)
Everyone at the store actually seems awesome, different than I've heard from most horror stories. Only time will tell! And hopefully I'll get that Koa sooner than later..DREAM GUITFIDDLE

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at it getting it filed.
Well bummer, I was disappointed that The previous month from when I placed my order that they were having the rosewood neck run, and now I'm even more
hopefully within the next decade they'll offer another run like that.But they do have a pretty mystic dream rosewood neck JP7 at DCGL, and I'm really debating selling my 8 string to put towards that guitar or the koa BFR JP7 they have as well.
Damn you EBMM for making such fine guitars!

Just got the illuminator 7 in the bridge to replace the stock crunch lab, and it pretty much kept all the good things about the crunch lab and fixed all the bad things! Tightened up the bass so it isn't so boomy anymore and is still able to be used as a lead pickup, not too shrill on the highs which is what I did admire about the crunch lab.

love to hear a clip of the Illuminator if possible. I used to have a JP50 with CL in the neck and it was great, so I'm curious to hear the difference. i did like the wartmth of the CL for solos as well, that was the good thing about it.

Once I get my JP7 back from the shop, I'll make a test clip (the string gauge I put on there was too thick at the nut so it would bind when tuning and using the tremolo causing me to go out of tune)

I have a JP12 incoming this week! Had to return my ibby 3727 due to a twist in the neck. I was really sad about this because I really liked that axe. I've had a couple of BFR JP's a few years back and liked them so I decided to go this route instead.

My Emerald Green JP12-7 was delivered yesterday and wow...what an amazing instrument. By far the best guitar I've ever played, couldn't be happier with my purchase. I've played a few JPs over the years in shops, but never for more than 15 or so mins at a time. After a few hours of jamming on it, I'm still in awe. Perfection on every level. I'm already planning on selling a few of my other guitars to fund another one haha. Don't have access to a good camera right now, but I took some quick pics with my phone. These pictures do the finish no justice at all, it looks absolutely amazing in person. Going to do a proper NGD thread one day next week when I can get some decent pictures and a sound clip with it, but here's some guitar porn to hold you over

A quick question for those using the JP7: how much "slope" in string height do you tend to prefer? I.e., what is your favourite height at the 24th vs. 12th fret?

Sick!

Hwat you call me?
So earlier today after getting real sick of my low A string constantly touching the magnet pole on the bridge pickup I took a dremel and mini router bit to the bridge pickup cavity and got rid of the lip that the pickup baseplate previously sat on. Needless to say, the end result was great, I can finally adjust the height of the pickup (no more low A touching the magnetic pole) and as well as allowing me get my action even lower.
