UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?

- So for me who has small hands and is used to playing on a parker fly deluxe, and a PRS, I find it too thick, I get tired a lot faster over, having said that it is comfortable thanks to its satin finish and can appropriate for other people, freight can be a troublesome at the edge, but good quality.

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?

- Very good ergonomics, as well the wife's belly body weight is well distributed, the guitar is not unbalanced cool!
- It's great playing in the standing is by wearing high enough as the master!!
- Smashes to the right arm and great but the blow forced to play with the right handle.
- on the other hand I can find a heavy ....

Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?

- Nickel, too easy

Gets it easy to sound good?

- In clean with severe microphones it is soft and fluffy, the clean microphones that acute shortage of fishing.
- Now the saturation acute microphones is quite incisive in both solo riff when
(It looks like petrucci), and serious microphones sings quite well.
- By means no use to me.

- But to get a good sound ... not this is the thing about this guitar, replacement pickups LiquidFire / CrunchLab, I think would be perfect ...

SOUNDS

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?

- From me but not stop!!

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

- The Petrucci model! no not at the same time it is difficult to find in paris-may no longer exists, it is a limited edition, but I have never seen on Paris JP50 standard either.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

The +:
- Form
- Color
- The black hardware (rare)
- The pounding on the body to the right arm
- The position of the selector is moving fast but may bother for others!

The -:
- Finishes the freight
- The shape and thickness of the handle (personal opinion)
- The color may displease!!

How would you rate the quality / price?

- Very good on the other hand you'll need a set of Micors more successful in the future.
- New models have DiMarzio pickups now, prices may increase a ... But this is normal.

With experience, you do again this choice?

- For this model, yes, according to the budget you can have ... That said if there was a bit more dealer sterling France, other than Gibson and Fender, I think I'll opt for a JP100 with a different finish than the JP50.

PS: This is the day and night with a PLO openly kept a can of money instead of putting in a € 200 PLO, and opt for sterling worth up to 300 € on average over that a plo, because you would be disappointed with this peel (or buche for others) and it would be a waste of money

(PLO yuck)

The final word: a good guitar to discover the type musicman John Petrucci, before embarking on a budget of € 2,000 American model
