I had mine last week on thursday. The shipping was super fast as I live in Europe, Finland. It only took like 5 working days or so to get it here in this little town. :p It made me think that I may possibly be the first owner of a JPX overseas... I'm loving it A LOT so far and I was relieved that the guitar wasn't damaged at all during the time it was on the plane. The setup is a bit too low on the bigger strings (fret buzz), but it's nothing you can't fix with adjusting the saddles.

The neck will need adjusting if thats the case.
It wouldn't have left SLO like that. The flight would have had some impact on the woods so a truss rod tweak will sort out you're buzzing I expect.

New PM and new JPX's - that's very impressive of EBMM & S&T to arrange it all at the same time!

Do I get a new queen when my AL Arrives!

I reckon the JPX's will sell within the week- - amazing colour.

Well, I did have to adjust the truss rod as I changed the 0.10 strings to a set of 0.09's and now the bridge is in-line with the body/fretboard. I adjusted it at many different angles, but still there's a bit of buzzing. I think it's because the guitar's are adjusted the way JP uses them. On some clean bits on DT albums you can hear fret buzz from his guitar. And I think the bigger frets add to that? Anyways, I'm not hesitating. I'm taking it to my guitar teacher for him to take a look at it. I'm quite new to making adjustments on a floating tremolo. :(

EDIT: Also, this is my 1st EBMM guitar so I should probably edit my signature. :)

Just spotted where you guys are.

Quite spooky, many a trip to Woodford i've had over the years, and the first JPX guitars appear down your way!
