Ball'er NGD

Post by chrisbower »

Just acquired this lovely Ernie Ball Musicman JP12 Ball Family Reserve. Believe it's been through a few hands on here.

It's both my first Ebmm and JP model. Quality is top notch. Very impressed.

Looks awesome. I like that truss rod adjustment. Looks like a refined and well thought out guitar.

Gassing.

They know how to make a proper guitar, those blokes.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

It really is mate, and they are stainless frets too so in theory they should not wear out 8)
