Jerry and George can do whatever they want with their hair. Once you've sold millions and millions of albums, you kinda get the right todo whatever the hell you want to with your hair/clothes/etc...
I have a couple. They're VERY nice guitars, but I don't play as much as I used to though, and might part with them... Lots of $$$ tied up in rack decorations...
They're "re-issuing" them. ;)
Maybe you won't understand what the dfuss is all about until you've played a couple. They're pretty awesome guitars from a fit/feel/playability standpoint. Mine is certainly a favorite to play. Don't really care what it looks like TBH.
Had the same guitar, and it was quite nice. Had a JS that I sold a few years back, and a Sunburst "standard style". The Standard was the best sounding and playing of the bunch. HNGD!
I had a couple LTD's that were "full thickness" - I think was the MIK 1000-series CTM version? 22 frets, double bound, full thickness... Anyway, they were great playing/sounding guitars. Felt great too.
But of course, that's all subjective. ;)
11R wasn't a bad unit. I had one at a couple points in life. Fractal kinda killed it, along with their product development team - that was non-existent.
That said, I liked Headrush too, so maybe I'm deaf...

It was mine, and had barely any play time…
I think you did the right thing. If you're going to be spending $$$ coming up on $2K when all is said and done, I think it oughtta "WOW" you right out of the gates. If it doesn't, I think you gotta move on. And like you said - Chubtone would be more than happy to make you something superior! ;)
I’d agree - I’m not a DT or JP fan. Their music and his playing exhaust me. Too much math going on…almost pointless and borderline noodling… That said, JP *does* have a good ear for tone.
I should also ask, is there a list of the “likely” amp models that are in the NDSP plug-ins out there? I’ve found a few “I think” lists, but nothing really “official”.
I’m digging the idea. I kinda thought they needed to do a JP archetype, but am still a a little surprised TBH. They (NDSP) haven’t done a Mesa plugin yet, and JP’s Mesas are the stuff of legend (actual melodic Mesa tones - not overdriven mush/djent stuff) so it should be pretty cool. I’ll have...
