https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/msg/6191368184.htmlWhy even buy a (non-piezo) JP in the first place if you're going to trash it? You buy a JP *because* of all the cool shit it has already. What a tragedy.
In case it's deleted quickly here is what was done:
- 2008 EBMM JP-6 (non-piezo) Pearl Red Burst.
- Player condition / modified.
- This is a stunningly nice playing guitar that had some 'interesting' mods done by the original owner:
- Removal of tone control and plugging of hole.
- Deepening of lower cutaway (refinished with a very good colour match).
- Scalloping of upper four frets (Ibanez jem style).
- Installation of Seymour Duncan JB/59 set with push/pull vol pot for coiltap.
- The only 'mod' that I have added is an easily removable block so the trem will tolerate alternate tunings on the fly (dive only, in other words).
- None of the mods have adversely affected the playability of this guitar...it's a shred monster just as it is intended to be!
The last point really gets me. ALL of the mods have adversely affected the playability.
