SOLD: Music Man JP6 Dargie Delight I

adriangonciarz

Very limited run of Music Man JP6 in Dargie Delight.  The name came from Scott Ball, who uses the pseudonym “Dargie” on the Ernie Ball Forums. Scott runs the MusicMan guitar operation in San Luis Obispo, California.This finish was first shown at the 2006 NAMM show, and Sterling Ball (Scott’s dad) was quoted as saying that green guitars do not sell well. There was some conversation on the Ernie ball forums, and it was decided that these guitars and basses could be ordered through dealers during a brief (one or two weeks) order period during the summer of 2006. Only 10 guitars like this (6-string JP with piezo) were ever made. The most distinguishable features are the martini olive green color and Martini glass fretboard inlays. It makes a stunning-looking instrument, catching the eye of the audience.

I once owned a DD1 Luke. Great guitar, but it stood out A LOT when I used it at the local blues jam night

If I could find one of those I’d absolutely LOVE to use it in public

They want 1800 Eur, so quite ok. As far as I understood, only local pickup is an option tho.
