MY GUITAR - ERNIE BALL JP15

[@OlaEnglund]

Hello fellow KZbinrs... Enjoy!

[@joeb3590]

Ola, thank you for all you do for us .

[@RokoRage]

Changing strings and restringing actually nightmares but you can making fun of it, you're absolutely genius! 😄😂

[@PurpleDragonAsh]

Yesh, someday

[@hamster0147]

Ola ... Ola 😁

[@Masophere]

See I really wish I had the funds to get a 7 string version of this its such a great guitar although the piezo saddles are a bit ropey

[@johnmccoy5923]

About the Piezo; Yes you need to replace the individual saddle. Call Music man. Tell them the D string is dead on the piezo. You can order the individual D string saddle with piezo and wire connected and then you can solder the new one in. I know from experience being a guitar center tech and Jp Musicman owner.

[@danielholden01]

Hey John, The same thing happened with my G string and i called music man and they told me they don't make that bridge anymore. So I had to buy a brand new Fishman Powerbridge with the power chip. Cost me $800

[@TobiH-j7n]

Same here, and I don’t buy a complete Piezzo for sure 🤣🙄

[@a-nus]

A guitar center employee that's knowledgeable? r a r e

[@JoeHeisler]

@@danielholden01 On a JP? Has the bridge ever been changed? They definitely still make the JP and Majesty bridge unless maybe it’s a specific color they don’t do anymore?

[@michaelstahl2967]

I own a second or third gen jp6, the one with the d-sonic, and my saddle piece fell out in the piezo. Spoke with Ebmm and they didn't make those specific bridges any longer so they had to send me the newer version. The catch, all the electronics had to be sent back first as they said it was patented and had to be returned before the replacement was sent.

[@weathergangster]

I totally agree with you. misunderstood is one of most underrated song. and what a killing flame top!👍👍👍

[@TobiH-j7n]

It’s a quilted top, the Flamed top looks killer too

[@JakobStrand]

Ola: *cleans the guitar* Also Ola: "Would you look at that...it immediately becomes cleaner."

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

Wait, so what happens when you clean a guitar? Does is become cleaner? (This post was made by the bass player gang).

[@scottreynolds5455]

Thanks brohter. It needs further review. love it. I am so envious of that guitar. wow.

[@jgmenino]

My Majesty has a similar issue with the piezo. I reached out Ernie Ball’s customer service and they were very friendly. You can order a single piezo and replace it as long as they have it in stock (they will ask for a picture of the saddle, there’s a dot or some numbers in order to identify the piezo model), otherwise you can request all six saddles so they have the same output. And they ship to Sweden.

[@jgmenino]

Then you just need to solder it on the bridge system, replacing the previous one. You will need to unscrew the bridge off the body for that though, but other than that is quite trivial for someone with basic soldering skills.

[@joeyurban4325]

I got a JP15 the other day. Everything I’ve ever heard about them is true, they are absolutely insane and versatile. The neck alone makes it worth the price. I play all high end guitars, Ibanez Jem, Prestige, Pia, Mayones, ESP, even Solar. This guitar beats them all. I play metal and shred, but I love nerding out on acoustic tones with Piezo. Every time I play it all I can say is “this guitar is insane”.

[@AudioJanitor]

Good assessment. Just got a 15. It's like a few guitars in one. Mine is an art piece to look at too.

[@PainDive1]

Got me a Jp15 a few days ago. Never owned a guitar built in the USA before. Have owned a bunch of imported guitars in the past and this EBMM really impressed me. I didn't expect to be so much of a difference. I'm stoked to hear you say you like the EBMM better than a Mayones, I looked at those before but the price tag is astronomical.

Damn that guitar is just so gorgeous! JP or Majesty will be next on my bucket list after the PRS CE 24 I've been drooling for.

[@azharkhan8796]

That Dimarzio aww. It's really there. Love it.

[@MattiaPanciroli]

How do I set up my John Petrucci guitar? Floating Petrucci Tremolo (including Majesty) 1. String the guitar 2. Set the bridge plate height a. Tune up the inner 4 (or 5) strings until some amount of tension is placed on the trem system. i. This will help keep the bridge from “jumping” on the pivot screws and in its natural resting place while performing the setup. ii. Full string tension, tuned to exact pitch, is not necessary. iii. Tension is only placed on the inner 4 (or 5) strings as to not permanently nick the outer strings while adjusting the pivot screws. b. Raise or lower the bridge using the pivot screws until the plate is level and flush with the top of the body. i. Ensure the bass and treble sides are even by sighting from the back of the bridge. c. Move the trem through its full range of motion. If the front edge of the plate contacts the recess (usually at the end of the dive bomb motion), raise the bridge until it moves unimpeded. 3. Block the tremolo a. Place an object to block the bridge between the bridge plate and body. i. You can use anything that will support the bridge under tension and not mar the finish. A folded piece of cardboard wrapped in masking tape works well. b. Maneuver the bridge and block to where the bridge plate sits level with the body, supported by the block and held in place by the tension on the springs. c. Tune to pitch. If the bridge plate begins to lift out of the recess, more spring tension is needed. An extra spring (up to five) can be added to the rear trem cavity if necessary. i. Check that the trem springs are engaged through the entire range of motion. If they disengage from the claw when the bridge is pulled back, remove a spring and readjust the claw. ii. Generally, 9-42 string sets will use two springs. 10-46, 11-48, and 10-52 will use three. Heavier gauges in standard tuning can use four or even five springs, but drop tuning will usually lessen the tension to only require three or four. 4. Follow setup instructions for a hardtail guitar. 5. Float the bridge a. With the tremolo still blocked, tune to pitch. b. Stretch the strings and re-tune. c. Loosen the trem claw screws until the bridge block pulls out easily. d. Remove the block. e. Pluck the G string, and observe its pitch on a tuner. It will likely be out of tune. f. Adjust the trem claw to bring the open G back in tune. When the string reaches the correct pitch, the bridge should return to where it was originally set when blocked. i. If the bridge is not floating correctly, tighten the trem claw/springs, re-block the bridge, and repeat steps a-d. 6. Double-check the setup and enjoy!! a. If experiencing fret buzz on the first few frets (1~4), the truss rod needs to be loosened. If experiencing buzz in the middle of the neck (frets 6~10) the truss rod needs to be tightened. b. If experiencing fret buzz across the entire neck, the bridge saddles need to be raised. c. If making adjustments to the setup after the bridge has been floated, it may be necessary to re-block and re-float the bridge.

[@GravesoftheInnocent]

Damn! What a beauty.

[@nathanphillips3061]

My D string piezo just went out after a little over a year. Common issue from what i understand. Ernie Ball is sending me a new one (single D string saddle) at their cost even though warranty is technically out. Love the guitar though.

[@majorlee1]

Love these vids! Especially when it’s a Washburn ML! 🤘ball end Ola!

[@Claimjumper55]

That's a beautiful guitar. BTW, those slots in the back cover are there so you can adjust the bridge without removing it.

[@thefenian32]

Damn, that sound at 18:18 was very Devin Townsend’esque! Great vid as always, Ola!!

[@sanehumanbeing7019]

Really nice guitar. Glad it cleaned up so nice. Double check the instructions on the deep conditioner before using on a maple fretboard.

[@nickx1754]

Misunderstood is such a good song: one of my favorite DT song's. I don't remember the lyrics quite that way but this performance still left me mesmerized. ; )

Best JP model in my opinion

[@trybimawan]

Agree 🔥

[@thiendipham828]

I just played that model recently, at my new friend's house. He had a 7-string (I never play a 7-string in my life), but it feels so amazing! He got a spalted maple finished & flamed maple neck

[@johnbeamon]

A lot of your new guitar Shorts transcribe only "SSShhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiittttt!" I expected this to do the same. Still would've been glorious.

[@GuitarGuy4647]

Hey Ola! It’s a 2017 model, built on August 31st! Your guitar is about to celebrate its fifth birthday.

[@MrDhilrd]

sweet run @18:55 -20:00 ish! Take care, Ola!

[@daleonov]

14:32 Agreed! _Six degrees_ is one of my favourite records.

[@JoeHeisler]

I think the JP looks more normal than the majesty which makes it preferable to most guitarists but I vastly prefer to play the Majesty. The beveled body feels much better under my arms (helps since I’ve been having some nerve pain) and both my Majesties are incredibly light. Also the recessed switch is in the perfect place for me, I end up running into the pickup switch on the JP.

[@georgeherndon4436]

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is indeed an underrated album. I like the perspective on this album. Misunderstood is surely the least recognized one.

[@jackclj]

Yes yes yes. Probably in my top 3. Missunderstood is one of my favorite DT songs along a change of season and erotomania

[@jb_50w78]

Ola, I think you would like the Jason Richardson Cutlass a lot! It is very similar to the JP15, but no piezo and a bigger headstock. And an amazingly beautiful buckeye burl top, as well as some kick ass pickups that sound amazing for CHUGGING! 🤘🏻 (and also shredding)

[@GreenDefend]

What a beauty man, what a beauty 😻

[@AJGamingUK]

I agree with you Ola I prefer the JP shape over the Majesty shape, I need to get me one of these again, I once had two! a 6 and a 7 string but had to sell them. One day it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.

[@fatsuperfly]

I have a sterling version of that in 7 string. Man, that guitar has been my go to, I wanted a seven for a long time, but never got others because my hands are kinda small. Played a bunch, but they felt like baseball bats or kinda too thin? Kinda weird, but with this guitar it felt in the pocket. It’s a seven, i still like it over my six string guitars.

[@NMoadh]

Hello Ola! About the broken Piezo issue, you have to change only the broken one, it's just a little annoying because you have to carefully dismount the bridge, and when dealing with the small wires of the saddles, ... I found a guy having the same issue in his JP15 7strings. I'll send you the video.

I would love to see you check out an EVH, Ed was also looking to create a very easy playing guitar; I've only played the budget version. Thank Ola, Great vid.

[@MattiaPanciroli]

Ola, it's named JP15 because it came out in 2015 and I don't know if it can actually be considered a BFR. Your guitar is at least from 2015 and you can know also from the stainless steel frets, from the shape of the bridge (rectangular with same plain space just next to the tremolo bar), from the logos on the back and from the fact that pickups take their name from the Illumination Theory song, from 2013 self titled album and first appeared on the JP13. The strings getting stucked in the bridge actually happens and sometimes they got stuck in a bevel inside the bridge too. Maybe later I'll post a complete guide to setup this magnificent instrument.

[@_SWLW]

The JP15 in the vid is a 2017 Sahara burst. Comes out as non BFR from MM lookup.

[@xF1revolution]

@@_SWLW All of the JP anniversary guitars are BFRs. Not that that really matters.

Hi, the guitar is named after the years John has been working with MM, not the year of release. It happens to be 2015, but that's a coincidence.

@@xF1revolution why you say so? At the time BFR and JP15 were different models and now they changed the formula, BFRs are limited models, like PDN.
