Members vmanmurph Posted October 30, 2010 Members Share Posted October 30, 2010 Last week I got on the board and asked about the EBMM John Petrucci vs a Gibson Explorer. I tried out several Explorers and settled on the John Petrucci. The reason I am writing is that I ended up taking the guitar back after about 4 days. I played it live and with my son on drums but in the end I didn't care much for the sound through my own rig. I feel absolutely horrible right now and was hoping some of you fellow forum bros can tell me about your lost loves! I hope that I am not alone on this one.

Members King Loudness Posted October 30, 2010 Members Share Posted October 30, 2010 I ended up returning both EBMM Petrucci's that I had, one due to warranty issues, the other I took back to get a Les Paul. Great guitars, but ultimately not what I needed at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sk8centilli Posted October 30, 2010 Members Share Posted October 30, 2010 I've been writing about them in chronological order, so far I've covered a few years and still have a few more to go. http://sk8centilli.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zantor9 Posted October 30, 2010 Members Share Posted October 30, 2010 i made this one a few months ago, and i just haven't bonded with it at all. I know your feeling.:cry: This is a sad post indeed. You would think that making a guitar to your exact specifications would make you love it but it made you regret making it. I hope if i ever get the courage (or skill) to build my own i won't have the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billybilly Posted October 30, 2010 Members Share Posted October 30, 2010 I love a great Gibson tone but hate the scale length. I actually love their necks too (fenders are too small for me). It kinda pisses me off because I have bought a couple hoping things would change but eventually sell them. Guess I am just not a short scale man. PS I have big hands, that could be it.
