Hi,
I've only owned two guitars. An ESP ltd flying V, and now a Music Man JP6. The ESP was horrible, and the JP6 was so much better to play. I never tried the JP6 first, I just ordered online for about $3k. I don't know anything about guitars, I just want them to sound good and be easy to play, and that's why I just insta-bought it without checking out other stuff. I don't know exactly what pickups I have (I've heard that there's been some pickup-changes since it's release?). It's 3 or 4 years since I bought it.
I've been quite happy with the guitar, but I feel like I need moar power! I thought the pickups were pretty hot, but I've heard varying opinions regarding that. I also favor Petrucci's tone from the earlier albums more than his recent tone, so maybe I would be better off with an Ibanez? Or maybe a pickup change would be all I need, I have no idea. Do you have any suggestions for an ignorant soul?
Thanks!
