I have this guitar in the white six string version (JBM10FX) and had an Evertune bridge upgraded onto it. Such a sick guitar. High quality even as a non prestige model.
Mohamed Ezzeldien Sure! There’s a few ways to go about it, the strings they send from factory are a heavier gauge, so I’d start by putting a set of 9 or 10 gauge strings on it, that will help balance the tension on the tremolo. While you are putting the strings on, block the tremolo with a piece of wood or something and tune the guitar up. After that, carefully remove the block (the strings will go out of tune) and adjust the trem until the strings are in tune. You shouldn’t need to add or remove springs from the back hopefully. It’s a fiddly thing to do, so if you can’t hack it, take it to a guitar shop, they would be able to help :)
Hi Jamie, in comparison with Sterling JP157 - what guitar you would choose? I know, that they are totaly different models, but from the sound anspect, tuning stability aspect and craftsmanship side?
Surrey Hey, the tubing stability is great! No issues there, setup is the same as any other floyd-like trem! It is a pain but once it’s done, you shouldn’t have to worry about it too often
If it just had a normal 25.5" scale... I play in standard tuning... Maybe if I use 009s I can tune it standard even with the longer scale? What you think? I'm used to 010s in standard
Hi, just discovered your channel. Great review, I already own one of these beauties. The only thing I have trouble with is setting up the action on the bridge, have you changed it and if yes, how do you do it? The stud bolts are insanely tight in my case and I can't do anything with them.
Thanks! Nice to have you on board :) It’s trial and error if I’m honest! I spent a few hours setting up this beastie to Bb standard. Do you think you may have bottomed the bridge out?
Damn, must've been hard, even just changing strings gets annoying. Sometimes it feels like you are some sort of space engineer Honestly I doubt that's the issue since I can't even raise the action. It feels worst at the higher parts of the fretboard (12+ frets) on higher strings.
u are doing great man - i just did subscribed -- one question please ? i am trying to learn guitar throw a game called rock smith - what john petrucci guitar is worth getting and keeping that will make the journy easy
Great video - Liked, Subscribed) What can you say about Build Quality of this guitars? I had 4 indonesian made Ibanez - and quality was random for those 4 models.
Konstantin Morozov Thank you! Welcome aboard!! I can only really speak for the one I own, which is built beautifully! It’s as nice to play as my JP7! Whether that applies to all of the JBM’s out there, I’m not sure. However, I’m yet to see a poor review, so I’d imagine they’re fairly consistent :)
Dude this is pro quality video. you deserve more subs and views, great video man.
jacob portillo Thanks bud! Really means a lot :)

Patricio Esteban Really means a lot Patricio! Thank you :)
beautiful guitar but I like jp7 behind you bro
I realy want to know what was the first blue guitar
That is a Schecter KM7 FR S in Lambo blue! Looks real nice!
Beautiful guitar love way it plays
Like Jake, you bring that guitar to life.
Thank you! It’s a gorgeous instrument :)
Hey man,
i just bought JBM 27, and i want to tonne it standard , can you help pls

Did you stain the fretboard to look like Ebony? It looks black in the part where you're playing clean tones.
Just the camera filter I think, higher contrast makes it look darker :)
Hi Jamie, in comparison with Sterling JP157 - what guitar you would choose? I know, that they are totaly different models, but from the sound anspect, tuning stability aspect and craftsmanship side?
Hey Mirek! To be honest I almost always reach for the Sterling these days!
Maybe I should give the Ibby some love
Does the trem provide better tuning stability? I'm eyeing this for a 7, but I've heard trems are a pain to setup too
Surrey Hey, the tubing stability is great! No issues there, setup is the same as any other floyd-like trem! It is a pain but once it’s done, you shouldn’t have to worry about it too often
How do you feel about the longer scale length compared to the music man?
I do find the MM more easy to play, but the Ibanez is far from uncomfortable!
You adapt to the longer scale length very quickly
If it just had a normal 25.5" scale... I play in standard tuning... Maybe if I use 009s I can tune it standard even with the longer scale? What you think? I'm used to 010s in standard
I’ve used 10 in standard with no issues, it’s taken well to anything I’ve tried. Scale length hasn’t presented any issues for me :)
You paid HOW MUCH? It only costs about $1.4k here in the states
@@jammage132 Oops, I misheard, I thought you paid the price of the JBM100 for the JBM27 😂😂
Does it play well in standard? Like, is the tension good or does it become too tight?
Ashaank Periera I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure if you put some lighter gauge strings on it’d be fine!

Maybe there’s bowing in the neck? Take it to a guitar tech and they’ll be able to tell! I hope you can get it sorted :)
Yes maybe, but something must be wrong with the bridge anyway. Thanks for the response. You did this guitar a justice!
u are doing great man - i just did subscribed -- one question please ? i am trying to learn guitar throw a game called rock smith - what john petrucci guitar is worth getting and keeping that will make the journy easy
bro this was fucking amazing
Thank you!! Really glad you enjoyed it :)
So its a heavy mahogany?
Tuomas Virkkula yeah it is a fairly heavy guitar, but not unbearable :)
the titan pickups are made by dimarzio, ibanez had no part in its development.
you are ridiculously talented
just dont use pitch correction
hey man top top quality video
