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.
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
@@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?
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.
Ernie Ball and Godin, to me, are the best customer service manufacturers in the business and always have been. They will always be there for you…and when you spend your hard earned money for something, it’s great to have great customer service….
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.
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.
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”.
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.
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.
I have a JPX. The 15 is really cool too. I hope they do a legit bolt on new anniversary JP model at some point down the road. Majesty gets all the refreshes.
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.
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
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.
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. ; )
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.

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)
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.
Hey Ola, I may have an answer for the certificate but since it's a familly reserve I may be wrong (if someone can confirm). Not all usa ernie ball musicman instruments come with such a thing. I bought a bass 4 years ago from a famous european store, bought it brand new but there weren't any certificate. I called the store to see were was the problem till finally got the answer from ernie ball website: they just don't include to all their factory instruments. Fender does, ernie ball doesn't... EDIT: Ok after some researches, BFR are supposed to come with a certificate... People do are crazy throwing this thing away
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.
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.
Lol, the fingerboard conditioner specifically says on the bottle that it is not for use on maple fingerboards. It probably isn't a big deal since he wiped off the excess right away though.
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.
I used to do 1 string at a time. Now i do 2 on a trem n 3 on a fixed bridge. I do have to loosen the springs on my new guitar. I didnt even think of it till i was done putting 9s on it
Only our Cutlass gets the 9-46 hybrids..unless otherwise noted on the order for whatever guitar is being set up. After that almost every other model gets 10s..
Hey Ola! Do you have any plan to make a A1.7 Vinter Pearl White Matte with a Floyd Rose, I'm really digging that guitar and want to buy one! I'll buy the 1.6 version this winter but if you have plans for a 7 string version, I will wait a bit! Thanks =D
Honestly, the BFR JPM (with the strat-like elbow carve) was, and is, the BEST EBMM guitar they've ever made. The Majesty is kind of "meh" to me, too wacky, though I'm sure it's great. I remember when Ibanez was doing the "double edge" piezo system, right before the EBMM model came out, glad to see EB continuing with the piezo, Ibanez ditched the double edge/piezo system, which was tragic IMO. You can still get those old Ibanez models, RG2020X/RG2027X and they are right there with those the EBMM, functionality-wise.
Ola your guitar is born August 31st, 2017, there is no way a jp15 exist before 2015, the jp13 was 2013 and 2014 was the majesty. BTW did you try the ebmm version since the sterling you played to say you don't like it? Because it's even shreddier and blissful to play.
That's so weird.... I went to Reverb to have a browse at the JP15's for sale in the UK. Came across a 7 string version of your sahara burst. The seller? Peach guitars in UK! Your tshirt? Peach guitars!
16:35 That’s probably the reason why you found it at a very reasonable price right there, Ola…just saying. And yes, that EBMM it’s a beautiful piece…but still i would prefer that Ibanez JPM 100. Those were the ones that gave Petrucci the whole push. Just saying.
Yeah, I've got a set of piezos I have to fix. In my case, remove each saddle, and solder a secondary ground. You should check the variax forums for a topic on piezo dropouts.
hey ola, i remember when i started following you ( like ten or twelve years back ) you were amp testing with an esp eclipse. (and it was a feared song too if i remember correctly ) and i guess guitar had honey burst kind of finish. could you make a video about that one ? thanks!

Once you get it fixed you'll love it you get any tone out of that guitar, from super clean to dark metal
Hi Ola!! Love the channel. My favorite subscription ever. Question: Have you ever played a Wylde Audio guitar?.
I’ve got a Majesty6 and love it, how similar is the jp15? What’s alike and what’s not?
i have a jp and it came without the tremolo as well, where did you get yours?
Hi! Why do you prefer the ibanez JPM? Do you like more the neck and the pickups from the Ibanez JPM?
That's a beauty!
