I'm not a cheerleader or yes-man by any means but I do think it's about being respectful and conducting myself online as I would in person. I'd like to think I'm fairly tactful and socially aware so that if Sterling Ball showed me that guitar in real life I wouldn't tell him to his face, "wow that's underwhelming for a 10 year anniversary. Kinda weak if you ask me." even if it didn't float my boat. It's not easy so I can understand how feathers get ruffled online.

If it's like an ASS, then here are the controls from bridge side to neck side:

bridge bucker in series
outside coils in parallel
both buckers
inside coils in parallel
neck bucker in series

Relax. Don't clutter up this thread arguing please. Let's get back on track. Here are some of the highlights that differentiate the JPX from the other JP models:

- Half as many chambers as the 25th Anniversary
- Wider and taller frets
- Ebony board
- Neck color matches body color
- Black / Stealth hardware
- Super Sport controls / 5 way blade
- No push pull
- Streamlined top horn
- Bottom end is symmetrical

Wider and taller frets - interesting..
Bottom end symmetrical - interesting
Half the chambers - interesting
Black hardware - cool and metal - adds 10 notes per second alone.

Oh, and to all the side bickering, that should be in a different thread in a different forum section, it is cluttering this thread.

Great point... I doubt a lot of people would say things to people in person that they say to them online.

Hey, are you going to be at SXSW?

Alder with Mahogany tone block. The chamber holes are the same size as the 25th.

Alder, cool. I bet that thing is a hot rod.

You should do a special edition where the body is a single piece and the body is drilled through and routed out at the chamber locations, for a "Swiss Cheese" look.

Or: Keep everything as-is but at the chamber locations replace the top and back caps with plexiglass so it is see-through.
