See, this is a decently priced guitar.

[@sethbacharamusic]

Yes, and one of the best bangs for your buck. Definitely on my wishlist.

[@ph0kused]

Jason's coil tap function make so much sense. Hardly ever use middle position both pickups. Then the button turns it into single coils, very cool. If i was gonna buy the guitar id go for the pro model.

[@bou212]

So that guitar costs 900/899 bucks instead of 4 grand, not bad

[@fouryee629]

I love the Sterlings! I have two of their Petrucci models and they are phenomenal for the price.

[@stephenhass9073]

@@fouryee629 lol this comment had to be made ...lol no offense but i bought a jp70 came with shorted pickups and no fret action whatsoever complete buzzing and could only play on 1 certain pickup before trying to switch to the other when it would just completely shut off

[@MaestroJericho]

@@stephenhass9073 I know I was really impressed by my friend's JP157 considering the JP70s I've tried felt rough, really dry feeling neck and sharp fret edges.

[@Blackreapxr]

Stephen Hass beauty of it is you can return. I bought a new JP70 from GC and it’s fantastic for the price. Just needed a setup and a bit of fret polish which is not difficult to do

[@TheArgus1000]

Yeah fair enough ..899$ is good for the features the only thing that im not so sure is about the pickups

[@MaestroJericho]

it's weird, i can't find any info on either the US or import pickups.

[@toemasmeems]

@@MaestroJericho anyoone got anymore info? Ive beem thinkin everyday about getting this but the pickups..

[@Blackreapxr]

Thomas Mims just upgrade them lol. They’re not bad stock but I just added some dimarzios and boom

[@toemasmeems]

@@Blackreapxr I just bought the guitar yesterday on a whim on facebook market for 750

[@toemasmeems]

Im so bad at settinf tremolos up but its pretty awesome i dont mind the pickups i just want the action lower and the tension looser my hand hurts lol the neck is super nice and the horn shave is perfect.

[@JonManProductions]

Gib me that thing and a JP-160 and I'd be set for anything.

[@freezeman]

Yeah

[@KuroKoopa]

Bought it yesterday. Can't wait for it to get here 🤘

[@Harnishmusic]

How is it, im thinking bout it!

[@KuroKoopa]

@Harnishmusic It's great! Only problem I've had is the same problem I've had with every Sterling that I've played. The high E snaps when you do a full bend 50% of the time.

[@Harnishmusic]

@@KuroKoopa thank you for your reply man, haha have you tried thicker gauge strings? I had limited edition jp70d which I really regretted selling so this is my next purchase

[@DanChanVideoGames]

this guitar is a great move

[@Coppercustomz]

That guitar I wouldn’t mind spending $900 on but his EBall model is $4000 I can think of a hell of a lot of guitarsI would rather spend $4000 on which I’ll never let myself do anyways

[@victorupreti6285]

SAWDUST I agree just get a used majesty which is better in my opinion for 2200

[@I.O.P.]

Tsu huh ha ha 😎

[@DaveSteele07]

I wonder if all the poplar tops of the sterling version all look the same

[@toemasmeems]

haha i mean they are all poplar but noooo they aren't printed pictures so every veneer is unique just like in nature.

[@caseysumner8674]

I want a new majesty 7, but until I feel like spending that much, is this a good buy? I know I could get a used majesty, but then I'll just have a bunch of majesties when I actually end up getting a new one, and a used majesty-or a sterling majesty- is twice as much as this....Thoughts?

[@toemasmeems]

I love this guitar!!! It's so beautiful and the Buckeye Burl is just so unique looking

[@alal6964]

Where is rebbeca dirks...?😚

[@adamcogan211]

The price is insane!!

[@ranajoyshil]

Yup because it's a signature guitar!! Do you are paying for the artist signature

[@adamcogan211]

Ranajoy Shil I meant insanely good value!! There’s a db boost in it at all, the music man is like 3/4k so this is a great addition

[@anthonyderosa7730]

[@scottneilson2314]

Good price but for $900 it should have stainless frets imho

[@spoonerluv]

I'd pay $950 for stainless steel frets

[@mart8886]

@@spoonerluv I'd pay 1100 for stainless steel frets and ebony fretboard

[@thedudeofficial69]

Pretty sure no other production guitars hit stainless frets until the $1200 price point.

[@darkcarnival5207]

Note to author and listeners - coil tap and coil splitting are NOT the same thing and the terms cannot be used interchangeable

[@alvarezmaribel556]

Dark Carnival what’s the difference?

[@darkcarnival5207]

@@alvarezmaribel556 See lenk, best explanation there is. Coil splitting involves splitting a humbucker into two separate single coils, coil tap puts a lead somewhere in the winding to reduce the number of windings used in developing the sound. www.guitarverdict.com/blog/coil-split-vs-coil-tap-whats-difference/

[@Mattormus]

Not that big of a deal at all.

[@darkcarnival5207]

@@Mattormus It's a very big deal, if you don't know what you're talking about refrain from talking.

[@stevei4860]

its a good guitar, however.. you never see him play one for moren then like.. well.. this video.

[@johncompton3644]

Pickups are always shit on those sterlings. Slap some dimarzios in there and it's a great guitar

[@MikaTarkela]

My MAJ100 has one of the best pickups I've ever used.

[@NoahLinebarrier]

I have a JP60 I replaced the stock pickups with Dimarzio CL/LF, and yes the sound is better but it’s not a huge difference

[@fouryee629]

They did a run with the DiMarzios. I got one with the Sterling PUs and one with the DiMarzios, but the stock ones really suck compared to the DMs, sadly.

[@MaestroJericho]

I actually really liked the neck pickup on the JP157, it's not a US Dimarzio but I think it was based off the Illuminator.

[@Ahtnagarp]

Lol this man is too good to be a metal guitarist

[@shaymiantewhau3014]

Yes. I think he should be in an Ed Sheeran cover band

[@philbobaggins336]

I'm a straight hater when it comes to Jason ..hate hate hate ..he's so good I can't stand him ..he's so good I can't stand it

[@Cestariarts]

I can see design flaws already...

[@tylerlacroix615]

like what?

[@LMAO-sp7de]

Hey bro mind explaining

[@Cestariarts]

You can clearly notice that: Some bridge pickup poles are out of alignment in relation to the high E and B strings. The suposely centered fret dots inlays aren't really centered. Just look at the D string, clearly isn't right in the middle as it should. The inlay dots of the 12th and 24th frets between low B and E strings are not symmetrically in the same position as the ones between the high E and B strings. You can see the headstock idea is to make all strings perfectly straight into the tuning pegs, but clearly the low B string isn't aligned. Some people may think this is all ok, but I would never accept a guitar of this kind/tier/price with such gross production mistakes

[@MaestroJericho]

@@Cestariarts you think a properly spaced nut would help? I wonder if it's the flaws that come with it being the first run.

[@ranajoyshil]

@@Cestariarts i just checked and everything you said is wrong.

[@carloslozada470]

New and improved crap

[@Mattormus]

Go play your $5k gibson reissue that still has 70 year old design flaws.

cool... but shitty tone. not the guitar's fault, more like shred-boy-sweeper's bad choices.
