Hello!
Just to ask if JP musicman owners here have had bad luck or problems with their guitars..... I don't know if the quality controls are bad or what... But I was not very lucky with these guitars!
First one... A 6 string in grey... This one has several problems:
1) On 2 strings the piezo volume was dropping significantly, much lower than on other strings
2) The guitar didn't stay in tune AT ALL!! and I KNOW how ro set up a guitar!!
This one had to go and I sold it...
A few months later, I bought another one! I really love these guitars, very comfortable, great sound, piezo sound beautiful (when it works properly)... So I thought I just had bad luck...
Now I have a 6 string 2005 limited edition in Buttercream color! mmmm
But AGAIN! problems.. The guitar is perfect when I play it at home.. however, when I take it to rehearsals and play it at high volume:
1) Horrible feedback with the
bridge pickup... No matter how is set my noise gate, that's really annoying!!
2) The volume knob doesn't go to zero... When it's turned all way down there is still some signal going to the amp!!!!!! Not a big problem but anyway....
For the price of these guitars I think these kind of issues should not pass the quality control! especially as you can detect them immediatly if you play the guitar 2 minutes!!!
Not I'm very afreaid of ordering a 7 string JP guitar... I don't want to recieve another rotten apple!!
What are your though about this??
Oh and I can't really deal withe EBMM, my warranty is void as I purchased the guitar in the US (new)... too expensive in Europe!
Thanks for your imput!
